Hydro Systems @ Interclean 2022

At this year’s Interclean, Hydro showcased two sector innovations from its connected dispensing portfolio - the Multi-Washer 3000 Series and the DMX - along with the EvoClean, the dispenser that helped transform the laundry industry. All three are powerful allies for any business looking to keep utility costs to a minimum, but without any compromise on operational efficiency and reliability.

The Multi-Washer 3000 Series Hydro’s Multi-Washer 3000 Series with EvoClean provides reliable chemical dispensing for on-premise laundries. It’s a single system that delivers the accurate dosing of the EvoClean dispenser across all the washers in a facility. The system combines the benefits of a Multi-Washer - one setup, one calibration, and less wall space - with the capabilities of the EvoClean, to ensure less maintenance, faster installation and improved dosing reliability.

Improved transparency gives chemical providers and end-users increased visibility into their operations.

The DMX dispenser

With the durable, safe and easy-to-use DMX dispenser, commercial kitchens can look forward to accurate and reliable dispensing of solid or liquid detergents, rinse aid or sanitizer. Designed to work anywhere in the world on most highor low- temperature door, conveyer and flight-style machines, there are numerous optional upgrades available to enhance its functionality.

The unit’s pre-wired power, signal and conductivity cabling saves time and money, while enhancing safety and reducing the need for costly site visits. The improved data visibility on productivity (racks washed), chemical usage, costs, and task alarms, via Hydro Connect, also helps ensure compliance to the Food Code. In addition, an inductive probe prevents nuisance reactive calls related to probe scale build up.

The EvoClean

The EvoClean’s venturi technology guarantees dilution accuracy for multiple products - the system is available in four, six and eight product configurations with either low or high flow rate. This ensures the right amount of chemicals are dispensed consistently. Optimal performance is delivered in terms of a single cycle and over the course of continuous operation for laundry that is washed to the highest standard.

The Multi-Washer 3000 Series feature PCB-based control. Using the EvoClean’s venturi dosing technology it can deliver precise doses under 30ml /1oz and is easy to configure and maintain. It does not utilise squeeze tubes that negatively impact accuracy, and is not subject to degradation like other peristaltic technologies.

The Multi-Washer 3000 Series is available for three washers with four, six or eight products. It enables real-time statistics and remote configuration changes through Hydro Connect from any global location with an Internet connection. Users can reduce maintenance costs by adding a formula, changing a dosing amount or switching the dosing mode without traveling to a site.

By using the Hydro Connect mobile app the DMX speeds up installations - reducing time needed by as much as 30% - with the setup-by-file option, and also reduces the training time required. It’s more intuitive user interface and a comprehensive reporting capability are also compatible with Hydro Connect.

The EvoClean eliminates the routine maintenance requirements of some competing peristaltic systems to remove concerns over deteriorating performance from worn tubes. It has no moving parts and contains an integrated flush manifold and a low-level alarm. With chemical dispensing technologies making a direct impact on running costs, the EvoClean monitors specific trends over time. Its inbuilt technology includes an automated formula select (AFS) control, which correlates a certain formula against each wash type conveying how much each wash is costing, as well as what the overall cost is.

To improve reliability, the unit has a redesigned race and motor that extends tube life, even in busy kitchens with flightstyle dish machines. Optional depletion wand connections, to detect out of product events, and optional temperature probes

The software also monitors any events, alarms and disturbances to the system, offering the user complete security. Hydro’s technology means that there is no chemical drop-off and all of the necessary equipment is already built-in. The EvoClean comes pre-wired from the factory to save time on installation.
