How does preventative maintenance on catering equipment help the environment?
There’s no doubt you will be clued up on all the reasons why using a water filter to proactively maintain your combi oven is a good idea. In a nutshell: it helps to ensure consistently delicious food is served, along with reliable, stress-free equipment that is protected against costly breakdowns.
But have you ever considered the environmental benefit of using a water filter on your catering equipment?
We know that sustainability is of increasing importance to the hospitality sector and continually improving sustainable practices is an ongoing challenge.
The good news is that by investing in preventative maintenance, you’re not only avoiding the obvious stress caused by equipment breakdowns, you’re also extending the life of your equipment.
Maintaining and repairing equipment plays a crucial role in supporting a circular economy, reducing waste and supporting continual use of resources. What’s more, stopping catering equipment from going to landfill prematurely not only benefits operators financially, but also the planet, as less waste is created.
In addition, the build-up of limescale inside a machine will mean that the oven requires more energy to run and reach peak temperatures, leading to increased running costs and a greater carbon footprint.
With all of these environmental factors to contend with, it’s important your staff have the knowledge to fix and effectively maintain your kitchen equipment. With this in mind, ensure you’re protecting it against damage with the correct preventative maintenance measures from the start, rather than waiting until it breaks down or isn’t running at its optimum.
What’s more, don’t forget to implement maintenance schedules, so that your water filters are exchanged on time and continue to optimise your water supply.
