Innovation Lean, clean machines
For more than a half-century Hoonved has been designing innovative glasswashers and dishwashers. Technical innovation and customer service are among the reasons for their continued success, Hoonved’s Giuliano Carraro tells Jacquetta Picton
for the enhanced appreciation of wine, so anyone sitting in the Tuscan sunshine, enjoying a glass of Italian wine can probably thank Hoonved. Te company has specialized in glassware- washing machines for many years with its AP E system. Hoonved became part
W
of the Ali Group in 1996, with a view to achieving enhancements in technology and manufacturing. Nowadays, its technical department is constantly working with the R&D department to improve products and make them more energy efficient and therefore better for the environment. In 2020, improvements were made to the AP E system. “Te range of Hoonved products is constantly evolving,” says Hoonved collaborator Pierangelo Macchi, who has more than 40 years experience in the washing sector. “We have recently included the break tank system also on the fresh water series [AP E].” Giuliano Carraro, export
director, explains: “Te break tank system intervenes at the rinsing stage of the process. It ensures the water temperature and pressure is maintained so dirty water cannot flow back into the network. Te water changes completely at each cycle

e can all appreciate that clean glassware is especially important
to guarantee an excellent result both in terms of the visual and olfactory level of the glass.” At Hoonved, all manufacturing
processes take place at the company’s facility in Venegono Superiore, Italy. Each year 9,000 machines leave the factory after undergoing rigorous electrical and hydraulic testing. Each month a group of experts from the various finished product control offices assess quality and performance from the perspective of the end customer.
Better results Although pristine glassware is a source of company pride, its products are also in demand from restaurants, pastry shops, bakeries, ice cream parlors, butchers, food industries, large- scale food distributors, hospitals and the naval sector to wash dishes and utensils. (Carraro says the machines for the naval ships have extra anchoring points and special feet to stop them moving around at sea – a problem rarely encountered in a Tuscan restaurant.) One of the latest
technological developments is the Hoonved Full Control
(HFC). “Tis allows machines to be remotely connected, controlling and modifying its parameters,” says Carraro. “Tis enables the end-customer
to better manage the installed machines; on the other hand, the service can remotely monitor and diagnose the machine.”
Continued innovation Te company encourages innovation in its staff through regular training sessions. As Macchi explains: “In Hoonved training is fundamental through refresher courses on site or in video conferences.” Tere are also regular courses
for sales staff and technicians on various products and warewashing issues. Tis guarantees that customers can enjoy the highest professional standards of after-sales service.
Although technological innovation is one of the main reasons customers purchase Hoonved products, buyers also like the products' reliability, back-office services, availability and the advantage of having direct contact with the company. More than 500 dealers within
Italy and in 70 countries outside Italy demonstrate the company’s enduring commitment and presence to customers all around the world.
