MEIKO FV40.2G Glasswasher with GiO Module Integrated Reverse Osmosis System

Brilliantly sparkling clean glasses are a hallmark of quality, appreciated by restaurateurs and guests alike, and it is understood, that achieving this level of glassware clarity requires exceptionally pure water combined with first class washing technology.

Whilst not visible to the eye, all water contains minerals, which if untreated, will in a very short period of time, result in mineral ‘spotting’ on the surface of the glassware, giving an impression of dirty glasses, and reflecting badly on the catering operation.

Up until now a number of factors have been introduced to combat ‘clouding’ on glassware, including ion-exchange water softening, desalination and a host of chemical solutions.  However over the years reverse osmosis has been found to produce the most successful results.

Now Meiko have taken the technology of reverse osmosis and incorporated this within the award winning FV40.2G glass washing machine, a simple solution to an age old problem, and a logical step forward. 

The new streamlined modular GiO reverse osmosis module can be installed beneath, at the side, or at the rear of the machine, and all within the width, depth and height of a standard glass washing machine.  This concept saves space in what is generally a cramped and crowded area, and best of all! − the reverse osmosis unit has the capacity to work with incoming water at a hardness level of up to up to 314ppm, negating the need for additional water softening apparatus.

Reverse osmosis produces almost pure (98%) filtered water by directing the incoming untreated water under high pressure towards a membrane, which restrains almost all the unnecessary particles.  Crucially, operating with reverse osmosis water reduces machine downtime, reduces detergent and rinse aid consumption and totally eliminates the need to hand polish glasses.
