Hobart’s FT900 Flight-Type Warewashers are now available with a new Energy Recovery system that reduces energy costs by converting the energy of the exhaust air from the warewasher into heat to preheat the water used for the final rinse, thereby creating a smaller carbon footprint for the warewash process. The heated exhaust brings the final rinse water from ground temperature to 110°F before entering the booster heater. The cold ground water passes through a coil positioned directly in line with the flight-type’s exhaust system to capture the energy from the exhaust air to elevate the water temperature.

To address critical food safety and sanitation concerns, Hobart’s patent-pending Energy Recovery system monitors the incoming water temperature to the booster heater during the initial warm-up period and makes adjustments to ensure the final rinse-water temperature meets the 180-degree-Fahrenheit requirements without a lengthy start-up period. This system ensures that ware is properly sanitized, regardless of the condition of the utilities at the machine.

The FT900 line also has new digital controls that simplify operation and temperature monitoring. The digital control panel lets operators verify with a simple glance the proper operation, temperature and that the machine is in proper condition.
