Hobart's Sustainable Manufacturing Initiatives
Hobart's
technology
gets eco.
Yes, our products are energy efficient. Yes, our products use 100% recyclable stainless steel. Yes, we could stop there. But as part of our Sustainable Manufacturing Initiatives, we have made a commitment to not just measure everything we do by its quality, but by its sustainablility, too.
That commitment has led to several new initiatives, including:
- Opti-Rinse™, Hobart’s exclusive patent-pending rinse technology in conveyor and flight-type warewashers, creates bigger drops to transfer heat more efficiently and reduce water consumption dramatically.
- Energy Recovery, an optional, patent-pending system that captures heat and steam that normally escapes as exhaust. Once captured, it’s used to preheat incoming cold water, resulting in an end-user saving of up to $3,200 per year. Available with the FT900 Flight-Type Warewasher.
- Expanding development to more than 200 ENERGY STAR® qualified Hobart and Traulsen products
- A research partnership with The Ohio State University aimed at reducing water usage by our products’ end-user.
- Ongoing experiments to develop environmentally friendly packaging.
