T
he technological revolution that is redefining the way commercial kitchens
operate often fails to address one key challenge – the limited amount of space in which kitchen staff and appliances must operate. Dishwashers are usually criticized for taking up too much space in the kitchen, but with DIHR’s Twin Star dishwasher, that will no longer be the case. Te Twin Star’s innovative vertical design
means it takes up much less floor space – typically only one-third of the area needed for a conventional rack dishwasher – while remaining easily accessible and simple to use. But that is only the start of clever thinking that has gone into its design. “Wash results are better than a standard
dishwasher and further handling is never needed,” remarks one senior living care client, the Résidence Les Abiès in L'Absie, France, adding that “the Twin Star really is a smart solution because it assures a great productivity, but furthermore it saves time, leaving us the chance to do something else.” Tese productivity gains derive from the
ability to program the Twin Star to handle a range of nine wash programs, suitable for everything from fragile glass to heavily soiled dishes, that require no pre-washing crockery and without the need for a person to be on hand to supervise the cycle or unload crockery. Simply load the dishes, set the program and leave it to work – even overnight. “It is unique,” says sales director Carlo
Brunati. “Tere is nothing like it on the market. It saves on water, on power, on detergent and on labor. You can easily program a schedule to run it overnight,
Twin Star can handle a range of nine wash programs, suitable for a wide variety of different uses
so that frees up people in the kitchen to focus on other tasks.” Once cleaned, the dishes do not have to
be removed immediately from the Twin Star. Instead, they can be left inside until they are needed. And with the capacity to handle 300 plates per cycle, there is no need for a backlog of dirty dishes to build up.
Save space, money and the planet With its flexibility, compact design and high efficiency, it is no surprise that the Twin Star has become a popular choice in its home market of France and, increasingly, in other markets. “We have sold a lot in care homes and other kitchens where there are three services per day,” says Brunati. “It has a much larger capacity than a hood-type machine and it usually saves at least two square meters of floor space.” Nevertheless, the Twin Star’s appeal to
care homes and other facilities with small kitchens is not solely based on its ability to free up space.
“When you have a small kitchen with
lots of equipment, it can be very hot,” says Brunati. “Tanks to the steam condenser inside, the Twin Star vents no heat, so the kitchen is a nicer environment to work in.” What’s more, the Twin Star benefits the
environment in a broader sense. As there is no boiler inside, only a small tank for hot water, it uses much less power to heat water and is much less resource-hungry than traditional dishwashers. Due to the delayed start feature and the overnight cycle, it can run at off-peak electricity times. In fact, when tested against a conventional
dishwasher performing 300 washes, the Twin Star used 46% less water, 82% less detergent, 38% less power and 90% less labor, which accounts for more than two hours for every shift. “Looking at those numbers, it is simple
to make a calculation of long-term savings,” says Brunati. “It amounts to €26,000 in savings per year

if the kitchen runs two shifts each day over a six-day week, and €45,000 per year for a kitchen running three shifts every day of the week,” he says. Te Twin Star is a fully plug-and-play machine. It only needs to be wheeled into the kitchen, connected to power, water supply and drainage, and it is ready to go. It is no wonder clients call it “a smart solution”. Versatile, efficient and simple to use, it is bound to get a five-star rating from everyone in the kitchen.
