At Stephens Catering Equipment, we are proud to be the exclusive supplier of Hobart warewashing equipment throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland. As a trusted partner to the foodservice industry, we're excited to introduce the latest generation of Hobart Hood-Type Dishwashers – designed to deliver even greater efficiency, lower running costs, and exceptional wash performance.
Built for Modern Commercial Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are under increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, improve productivity, and operate with fewer resources. Hobart's latest Hood-Type range has been developed to meet these demands, combining innovative engineering with practical features that make everyday operation simpler and more cost-effective.
Whether you're operating a busy restaurant, hotel, healthcare facility, school, or catering business, the new range is designed to keep your kitchen running efficiently while consistently delivering spotless results.
Up to 25% Lower Energy Consumption
One of the standout benefits of the new generation is its focus on energy efficiency. By incorporating advanced technologies such as Vapostop Energy Recovery and an optimised Drain Heat Recovery system, these machines can reduce energy consumption by up to 25% compared to previous models.*
The improved insulated four-sided hood retains heat within the machine, reducing energy loss and creating a more comfortable working environment by minimising escaping steam.
Reduced Water and Chemical Usage
Efficiency extends beyond energy savings. The redesigned wash and rinse arm system features self-flushing nozzles that help prevent blockages while reducing water consumption by up to 10% on standard and short wash cycles.
Lower water usage also means reduced detergent and rinse aid consumption, helping operators lower ongoing operating costs without compromising on hygiene or wash quality.
Designed for Ease of Use
With staff shortages and high staff turnover continuing to challenge the hospitality industry, ease of operation has never been more important.
The new Hood-Type range features an intuitive single-button control system with Hobart's updated Visiotronic interface, making it quick and easy for any member of staff to operate the machine confidently.
Routine cleaning and maintenance have also been simplified with:
- An improved wash chamber featuring fewer dirt traps.
- An automatic self-cleaning programme.
- Tool-free removal of colour-coded wash and rinse arms.
- A robust new hood and ergonomic handle design.
These improvements reduce daily maintenance time while helping maintain optimum performance.
Proven Hobart Performance
The new generation builds on the trusted reliability that has made Hobart one of the world's leading commercial warewashing manufacturers for over 125 years. Features such as SENSO-ACTIVE water monitoring, GENIUS-X² filtration technology, and Automatic Soil Removal (ASR) continue to deliver outstanding cleaning results while reducing the need for manual pre-rinsing.
The result is cleaner crockery, glassware and utensils, reduced labour, and lower operating costs.
