Maurice Matthews, Rowe’s technical manager, explains: “We needed a machine to wash and clean the containers and utensils we use for our baked goods – and we needed it fast. We were well aware that it was a lot to ask from any supplier – to deliver and install the machine in a day or so. But the IWM team somehow did it and exceeded our expectations.”

The EDi13 ALTA is a solid, user-friendly and reliable washing machine. Its new electronic system means it can optimise and simplify work for operators in the bakery sector.

The machine benefits from two 2350W wash pumps, a 600W rinse pump and a rinse aid dispenser fitted as standard. It can clean an entire cycle with just 8L of water, saving the user electricity and money. The wash cycle can last from 2 to 10min, depending on individual preferences. 

Designed with safety in mind, the digital display advises on correct functioning of cycle, temperature and tank filling. A low-voltage electronic control (12V) is integrated to minimise danger during maintenance and repair work. Furthermore, the keyboard and display panel are splash-proof with IP67 protection. 

Carl Hollier, managing director at IWM, says: “When we got the call from Rowe’s technical manager we knew that they needed help as soon as possible. When production stops, you can see your profits plummet within minutes, so we sent the machine and one of our engineers over. He spent the night installing the equipment and making sure the bakery was good to go early in the morning.”
