launched M-iClean H system,
which is designed with outstand-
ing ergonomic considerations.
The MEIKO M-iClean H

whole dishwashing process.
Astor says customers taking
part in MEIKO’s extensive
field trial have confirmed they
save about 30 minutes a day on
dishwashing.
“The M-iClean H is a ma-
chine designed with people in
mind. It makes life easier for
dishwashing staff, as confirmed
by independent workplace as-
sessments. And, of course,
when dishwashing staff can do
their jobs more easily, there will
be less sick leave application,
and less manpower scheduling
problems for managers,” smiles
Astor.
The ergonomic features save
time and money, and improve
the whole work environment.
Special features of the M-iClean
H dishwashing machine include
an ergonomic display at eye
level, as well as automatic basket
detection, ergonomic handles,
heat recovery and an intuitive
signal concept. For even more
time-efficient dishwashing, the
new drying table ensures fast,
hygienic drying and gets glass-
ware back in use quicker than
ever before.
MEIKO M-iClean H dishwashing
system is the winner of the Gold
Prize at the SCI Equipment Awards.
The inaugural SCI Equipment Awards
serves to recognise foodservice
equipment manufacturers who have
incorporated sustainability in their
innovations.
