MEIKO heat-recovery system:Central waste air suction channelleddirectly to the cooling register..For cleaning purposes the register canbe pulled easily onto the roof of themachine. The front plate also servesas trough.

Waste removal: The complete feedingzone bottom is covered by two coarsefilters. The food debris fall directly onthe coarse filter. An additional fine filterabove the CSS-tank retains even thesmallest food particles. The considerablyreduced soilage of the wash waterenables a reduction of the detergentconsumption.

Manifold wash system:Optimized cross-section and nozzlearrangements. No troublesomepenetration of rear wall – thereforeno leakage even after years ofservice. Insertion and removing ofthe manifold wash systemunbelievably easy.

Machine feeding section: Practicaldish storage surface for ease ofhandling. When required, claddingelements (panels) are easily removedfor access or for cleaning andmaintenance purposes. Sloping washtank with an integrated self-cleaningsystem.

MEIKO CSS-Top wash watercyclone: In addition to the filter sievesystem, there are integrated wash watercyclones in both the upper and lowerwash arms that continually filter eventhe finest suspended particles from there-circulating water. First class integrationwith the other CSS-Top componentsresults in the remarkable saving of upto 80 % on detergent consumption.

TopAir-Collection: The picture showsthe AirboxPlus-construction includinga heat pump (without waste air connec-tion). The air box ensures the mixing ofall incoming airflows and an equaldistribution of the air into the room,thus eliminating condensation on theceiling. The louvre elements of the unitare easily removable, and can bewashed routinely within the warewashing machine.
