Line extension for Ecolab

Apex provides the cleaning results restaurant and foodservice operators expect, while reducing water and energy use and making the warewashing process simpler and safer for kitchen staff.

Apex uses a combination of products, equipment and consultative services to address the operational challenges in foodservice warewashing. The new Apex products include two new machine warewashing detergents: Apex Power Xtra for high soil loads; and Apex Power Xtreme for the removal of food starch and stains.

Ecolab has also introduced three new Rinse Aids; Apex Rinse N is a new and improved rinse additive for higher performance, Apex Rinse HD has been especially formulated for high total dissolved solid content and Apex Rinse PL is designed specifically for plastic ware.

The Apex system’s controller provides real-time monitoring of operations and logs critical elements of the warewashing process, such as wash and final rinse temperatures. Ecolab sales-and-service associates use a tablet PC to download, process and analyse the Apex system’s operational data to establish each restaurant's operational challenges and ideal efficiency ratios. The information is presented in a dashboard report, allowing users to review system operations, including data for every rack washed. This enables Ecolab associates to establish and maintain first-class results, and reduce total operational costs for customers.
A comparative study, undertaken by Ecolab and the Institute for Work Safety in Germany, found using solid warewashing products reduced body strains by up to 90% when compared with liquids. The solid products are lighter and easier to lift, and will not spill, helping to improve employee safety.
