Problem 3
ADDITIONAL PROBLEM SOLVED WITH THE NEW GENERATION OF ICS+
The traditional conveyor principle of a rack conveyor machine
has equal movement forward and backward. During the time
when the conveyor is moving backward small hooks keep the
racks in still position.
In practice this means that 50 % of the time a rack spends inside
the rack conveyor machine it is standing still. In final rinse this
is especially critical as the traditional principle causes uneven
final rinse result due to uneven water distribution. In other words
some of the dishes are rinsed with multiple amount of water
compared to others.
Solution 3 DTS – Double Transport System
The New ICS+ machine uses a Double Transport System.
With DTS the time for a rack standing still is taken down
close to zero.
This technique ensures more even distribution of final rinse
water and thus ensures best possible final rinse result.
DTS available on summer 2004.
In the New ICS+ machine with DTS the
final rinse water is distributed more
evenly for each glass.
The second rack with glasses standing
illustrate the amount of final rinse water
used for each glass in new ICS+ with
DTS. Here all the glasses get nearly the
same amount of water.
In traditional rack conveyor the final rinse
water is distributed unevenly. This is due
to the fact, that the rack is standing still
50 % of rinsing and washing time.
The second rack with glasses standing
illustrate the amount of final rinse water
used for each glass in traditional rack
conveyor machine. The picture shows, that
some of the glasses get only 20 % of the
water compared to glasses that spend
longest time in final rinse.
