One way to reduce your carbon footprint is to buy British- or EU-made goods. These goods are here on the doorstep waiting to be delivered without journeying halfway around the earth on container ships. Costs saved on transportation can be passed on to the customer, making British goods an ethical and cost-effective option for today’s cash-strapped pubs, clubs and restaurants.
The Duo glasswashers and dishwashers from Classeq are 100% British-built in Classeq’s factory near Stafford. Duo machines are designed and built to be reliable and energy efficient and a best value-for-money option both at purchase and during operation. Classeq offers excellent after-sales service and because the machines are British-built sourcing spares and routine maintenance items is quick and easy.
Classeq includes virtually everything as standard on the machines, such as drain pump, WRAS approved break tank, rinse boost pump and integral chemical dosing pumps – features that in most other warewashers are optional extras. A fully insulated double-skinned cabinet ensures that the Duo range is both quiet and cool to the touch while at the same time lowering energy usage.
The full coverage filter system keeps the wash water cleaner for longer, meaning fewer water changes, cleaner plates and lower fuel bills. To give a quick start-up time and further minimise energy requirements the Duo machines have a washtank requiring very little water – as little as 10 litres – while the moulded steel interior wash chamber is easy to clean.
The Duo glasswashers are available in two sizes – the compact Duo 2 and the larger-capacity Duo 3. The Duo 2 is only 470mm wide (ideal for undercounter applications where space is tight), and can wash up to 16 pint glasses in a two-minute cycle. The larger 570mm wide Duo 3 handles up to 25 pint glasses per cycle.
The Duo dishwashers are available in similar dimensions, and have three-minute wash cycles. The compact Duo 500 can wash up to 9 dinner plates in its 400mm racks, while the larger Duo 750 has a capacity of up to 18 plates in 500mm racks.
