CHR agree that no Pre-Washing works
CHR embarked on a pot wash Journey to Sweden to do some hands on pot washing recently. After successful installations of Granuldisk machines in Marriot Hotels in Leeds, York and Leicester, we sent Scott “King of Potwash” Walker to get inside the technology and ideology of the minds behind the little blue pellet.
Scott said, “I’d like to thank the whole team at Granuldisk, it’s been a great insight for us and helps us understand the people and the quality. For CHR and Granuldisk, there already exists a lot of synergy when it comes to delivering a cost effective solution. The range of products can provide the operator with a very nice area in which to work and the investment will quickly become profit for the end user. In our continuing effort to make commercial kitchens more sustainable and eco-friendly, we have worked with various Marriott Hotels to provide Granuldisk solutions to their pot washing areas.”
While we were not involved in the supply and install down at the Heathrow site where these statistics were gathered, the following contains some fairly compelling figures as to the water savings possible.

Scott and Pete were recently among the first UK visitors to the new MKN demo kitchen at Cannock.
On the day they saw how the “SmokeInside” system can add a different dimension to the dishes you can create. The inclusion of “SmokeInside” on an MKN Magic Pilot Combi oven allows the chef to create smoked products such as cheeses and meats and to add a smoked flavour to items on their existing menus.
It was great to meet MKN Corporate Executive Chef, Ludger Mai as he demonstrated a number of different recipes that MKN have developed over the last few months. It was also a good opportunity to catch up with the UK based team of Stuart Long, Stuart Brereton and the new Northern Rep, Ray Donovan.
The day strengthened the already close relationship with this supplier on the back of an improved deal between ourselves and MKN having been agreed.
We look forward to continued working with the UK based team over coming months and years.
