An ultrasonic cleaning apparatus with a cleaning reservoir having a plurality of chambers, which are selectably fillable with cleaning fluid. The chambers of the multi-chamber reservoir are fluidly interconnectable, the apparatus further comprising a fluid distribution pump and a controller for sequentially controlling a fluid flow between the chambers during an ultrasonic cleaning cycle. Such a multi-chamber reservoir has the advantage of reducing the total volume of fluid required to clean vessels in the reservoir, since the cleaning process can be performed in a staged or sequential procedure, and the cleaning and/or rinsing fluid reused in each chamber, allowing the apparatus to be more compact.

A dishwasher includes a dishwashing container, a lower holder for items to be washed arranged in the dishwashing container, and an upper holder for items to be washed which is arranged in the dishwasher container above the lower holder. A control device executes a dishwashing program from a number of dishwashing programs for washing the items to be washed by actuating a hydraulic facility in such a manner that in a first segment of the dishwashing program a washing liquor having a first washing liquor temperature is only sprayed by a lower spray facility onto the lower holder and in a second segment of the dishwashing program following the first segment washing liquor having a second washing liquor temperature that is lower than the first washing liquor temperature is sprayed by an upper spray facility onto the lower holder and the upper holder.

Surfactant systems and compositions incorporating the same are disclosed for use as rinse aids on plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions include both liquid and solid formulations, along with methods of use for treating plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions provide synergistic combinations allowing lower actives in composition formulations of the plastic-compatible surfactant systems providing good sheeting, wetting and drying properties.

A dishwasher for treating utensils in the dishwasher wherein the dishwasher has a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a liquid spray system, a liquid recirculation system fluidly coupling the treating chamber to the spray system to recirculate wash liquid from the treating chamber to the spray system, and filters capable of removing particles from the wash liquid and a method including spraying the wash liquid, recirculating the sprayed wash liquid, microfiltering, and ultrafiltering at least a portion of wash liquid.

A washing device comprises a manifold dispenser comprising at least one liquid input and a plurality of liquid outputs that operably direct fluid to contact a plurality of laboratory consumables held by a rack in the washing device. A number of liquid outputs is equal to a number of laboratory consumables such that each one of the fluid outputs operably directs fluid at a corresponding one of the laboratory consumables.

The present invention concerns the use of an amylase and/or a protease for removing and/or reducing soil on a surface, a method for removing and/or reducing soil on a surface and a warewashing composition.

The present inventive concept relates to a device (500) utilizing water for a group of cleaning procedures, wherein each cleaning procedure (100) in the group of cleaning procedures comprises a plurality of cleaning phases (102, 104, 106, 108) each using cleaning phase water having a substance content with respect to a number of substances, wherein the device (500) comprises a sensor arrangement (554) configured to determine a first substance content (110) with respect to at least one of the number of substances in first cleaning phase water from a first cleaning phase (102) being part of the plurality of cleaning phases (102, 104, 106, 108); wherein the device (500) is configured to end the first cleaning phase (102) if a pre-determined condition related to the first substance content (110) and associated with the first cleaning phase (102) has been met.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition including a dispersant polymer and a surface-modification surface-substantive polymer.

Surfactant systems and compositions incorporating the same are disclosed for use as rinse aids on plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions include both liquid and solid formulations, along with methods of use for treating plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions provide synergistic combinations allowing lower actives in composition formulations of the plastic-compatible surfactant systems providing good sheeting, wetting and drying properties.

The present invention relates to a pan cleaner system. The pan cleaner system comprises a main frame adapted to house a supply system, an inverting system and a cleaning system. The supply system, the inverting system and the cleaning system are configured to form a synchronized continuous functional line beginning by the supply system receiving a pan to be cleaned and ending by the cleaning system releasing a clean pan. The supply system comprises a first conveyor adapted to guide the pans towards the inverting and the cleaning systems. In one embodiment, the inverting system comprises a second conveyor adapted to magnetically hold the pans during the transport and the cleaning process. The pan cleaner system further comprises a releasing system adapted to release the pans from the magnetic conveyor once the cleaning process has been completed.
