But now Winterhalter has created a range of adaptable warewashers that can change with the business’s needs: if chef wants the glasswasher to become a dishwasher, it can. The clever machines are the latest versions of Winterhalter’ s UC Series of undercounter warewashers. Available in four sizes, from small to extra large, the machines can be converted from glasswashers to dishwashers, or vice verse. They can also be converted back again – so ...
