A New Age: Why Cinemas Need Commercial Dishwashers

Environmentalism might not be the prettiest or the most convenient book in today’s climate, but trust us when we say that it’s the most important one out there. It seems like everything – from the music industry with Lorde resorting to eco-friendly techniques to the food industry to reject single-use plastic. It seems like today, more than ever, people are taking notice that there is only one earth, and we should make as little waste as possible. Cinemas, it seems, are taking a step forward towards environmentalism, too – and most of them are looking to cut off their environmental waste. How do they do that? Simple – by using a commercial dishwasher for their reusable items, glassware & dishes.

The cinema conundrum: why cinemas need dishwashers

When thinking about it, cinemas don’t need the use of dishwashers in the first place. After all, most products that cinemas use don’t seem like they can even withstand a dishwasher in the first place. Those popcorn bags and soda cans aren’t the most environmentally friendly products, reusable items is the future.

These might sound like relatively expensive options – but in-fact they are an investment and are money saving in the long run. There is an initial purchase for reusables and then they are washed and sanitised in a dishwasher. Reusable items would be able to reduce a cinema’s environmental footprint significantly in the long run. But as mentioned earlier, more cinemas around the world are slowly transitioning to reusable means. Cinemas, especially newer, more established ones, would need to use commercial dishwashers to clean their equipment and the modern environmentally-friendly tools for them.

A dishwasher can solve all your problems!

Commercial dishwashers, though seemingly something like the last thing a cinema needs, it’s an incredible piece of machinery that can make a cinema’s functions that much more efficient, too. Now that more cinemas are transitioning to use less single-use plastic and more reusable materials for their consumers, commercial dishwashers with the perfect rinse temperature would be able to give cinemas the added layer of convenience they need.

Though the transition makes one of the prime reasons for cinemas to start using a commercial dishwasher, these beneficial mechanisms are also helpful even before that!

Think about it this way – when someone mentions “cinema,” what springs immediately to mind? Would it be the dark theater, lit only by the silver screen, or that sense of giddy excitement before a long-awaited movie? However, there’s one thing that blows those two out of the lot – and that’s the robust and orgasmic smell of popcorn that permeates the area. Though seemingly unrelated, a dishwasher can help cinemas function that much more efficiently too. Like most cooking equipment, popcorn makers would also need to be cleaned. These tools can be cleaned by hand, sure – but it’ll take a considerable amount of time and effort in the process. Luckily, commercial dishwashers can clean all of that – and in impeccable fashion!

Dishwashers come and go – but Rhima’s long-lasting, robust dishwashers are everything you need to make your cinema that much more effective in the first place! These dishwashers are so much more than your run-of-the-mill dishwashers – as they’re as robust as they are functional.

• Door safety switch fitted so that the machine cannot be opened mid cycle
• Built in rinse aid injector so that the chemicals connected to the machine are automatically dosed and injected into the wash cycle of the machine

Your how-to when buying dishwashers

Reading all of these might make buying a dishwasher an easy task – “opt for Rhima’s, and you’re all good to go!” would be what springs immediately to mind. However, just like in everything else, specific considerations must be ticked out first to ensure a great purchase.

First of all, identify how you’ll be using your dishwasher and by how much. As mentioned earlier, more cinemas are transitioning to use less single-use. However, not all cinemas have complied with that – meaning that they couldn’t fully utilise the dishwashers to their fullest potential.

Lastly, you should identify the dimension and space where you’ll be putting the dishwasher. Since commercial dishwashers tend to operate louder than expected, they should be placed somewhere they cannot be seen or heard – ideally, behind the counter. Hence, identify the dimensions of the space you’ll be putting it first before getting one.

Maintenance Packages that are Available as Service Support

No matter how much we drum it up as a reliable and functional machine, the RH-60 is also susceptible to mechanical failure as days go on. However, do not fret – we here at Rhima provide excellent, 24/7 customer support service! We can help you with your every query about your reliable dishwasher!

FAQs

Can you run a dishwasher without hot water?

• Yes, a dishwasher can be run without a hot water connection. All Rhima’s machines have a “Thermo stop,” which means the cycle will not complete if the temperature has not reached the safe minimum for sanitation. Cycle times may be longer. For machines connected to cold water, if possible, connect to the 3-phase power supply.

Does my machine comply with HACCP Guidelines?

• Rhima has developed a unique monitoring program that takes safety, hygiene, and operational conditions into account. Once correctly set up, your machine will comply with HACCP guidelines. At least once per year, we recommend doing a safety hygiene test on the dishwasher. Rhima technicians are specially trained in carrying out preventative maintenance and HACCP testing on Rhima equipment. This includes temperature checks with a calibrated thermometer, residual protein swabs (before and after), and complete preventative maintenance on the machine.

Can I wash other items in glasswashers (i.e., cups and saucers?)

• Yes, other items such as plates, cups, and saucers can be washed in glasswashers. Rhima glasswashers use the same washing technology as our larger dishwashers. You can wash cups, saucers, and lightly soiled plates. It is not recommended to wash dinner plates. If your glasswasher has been set up with our High Sparkle system, then we recommend use for glasses only.
