NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 7, 2019) – MEIKO, a pioneer in the commercial warewashing industry, has launched its latest innovation for North America: the KA Series. This rack conveyor system’s intuitive features and smart design make it easy to use, while the efficient operation helps users save water, energy and chemicals with each use.
“MEIKO products are popular across the world for their renowned advanced technology, reliability and high customer satisfaction, and the KA Series rack conveyor dishwasher is helping continue this model,” said Markus Braun, president of MEIKO North America. “We are excited to present this system to the foodservice industry and remain committed to continued growth through innovative cleaning solutions for the North American market.”
The system’s high-contrast, glass touch screen display is designed to keep operators fully informed at every stage of the washing process. All key information is clearly available at a glance — including simplified service diagnostics, error logging, troubleshooting and real-time performance updates — with straightforward, one-touch operation.
In line with MEIKO’s focus on economical, eco-friendly products, the KA Series’ low energy consumption and low water usage lead to lower daily operating costs. With its double-wall insulation, the KA Series rack conveyor dishwasher also minimizes noise and heat loss while keeping the exterior of the equipment cool to the touch.
The KA Series rack conveyor dishwasher offers two optional features that benefit operations — the high-performance blower-dryer unit and Waste Air Heat Recovery System (WAHRS). Using just 3.6-4.5kW of heating energy ― depending on the operating voltage ― MEIKO’s innovative blower-dryer unit incorporates a single blower with electric heaters to improve drying time and avoid unsightly spotting on ware. MEIKO’s award-winning WAHRS reclaims and reuses heat generated by the machine — reducing energy consumption while allowing hot-water sanitization from a cold-water supply.
With its ability to fit in any standard-sized space, the KA Series’ rack-type design allows the machine to be easily incorporated into an existing kitchen layout. Its sealed, reversible hinged doors further expand its ease of use in various spaces. These benefits help businesses avoid costly renovations or modifications.
The KA Series rack conveyor dishwasher offers three conveyor speeds to handle varying levels of soiling, and its unique wash arm spray pattern ensures effective coverage with varying angles and offset spray jets. The system also has slotted, concave wash nozzles and tethered end caps to promote easier cleaning, as well as a Built-in ‘Smart’ booster heater.
The KA Series rack conveyor dishwasher was unveiled at the MEIKO booth (#1064) at the 2019 NAFEM Show, Feb. 7-9 in Orlando, FL, and it will also be shown at MEIKO’s booth (#2831) at the RC Show 2019, Feb 24-26 in Toronto, Ontario, CA.
