Even after they are installed they can be easily restructured, by retrofitting additional modules, to keep up with a site’s changing circumstances. There are two types of MT system:
- The MT Flight (MTF) dishwashers where dirties are loaded straight onto the conveyor
- The MT Rack (MTR) where dirties are put into racks on the conveyor
The basic structure of a MT system consists of the pre-wash, main wash, rinse and drying zones (or modules), plus an inlet zone, positioned upstream, plus the loading and unloading areas. MT conveyor systems can handle up to 8,000 plates (MTF) or 355 racks (MTR) per hour. List prices for a complete system start at around £51,000.
Paul Crowley, marketing development manager for Winterhalter UK, said: “We’ve dubbed the MT a ‘gamechanger’ and the flexibility of the design concept justifies that 100%. Whatever the space, whatever the requirements, we can deliver an MT to fit – and when your business changes, your MT can change, too.”
