From the nation’s largest theme parks to Olympic Villages to the casinos of Las Vegas, the Hobart FT900 flight-type warewasher is the choice of foodservice operators needing to clean thousands of pieces of ware hourly. Hobart’s flight-type warewashers have delivered proven performance for more than 50 years in both uptime and throughput, and resulted in savings in labor, water and energy.
In the massive resort casinos of Las Vegas, 113 Hobart flight-type warewashers are in operation today including 14 FT900s operating around the clock at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino alone. A famous theme park in Orlando operates eight Hobart flight-type in its hotels and bakery. A sister theme park in Anaheim, Calif., owns seven FT900s in its hotels.

The proven leadership of the Hobart FT900 is a result of a host of time-tested attributes. The warewasher that can clean thousands of pieces of ware hourly is also the easiest to clean, with insulated doors that give operators complete access to the interior for inspection and cleaning. These features on the FT900 can help operators save up to 20 minutes of labor per shift. Less time spent cleaning means greater labor savings.
The FT900 does more than just free up labor, it also saves water and energy. With the lowest water usage in the industry, the FT900 saves operators pennies every wash, adding up to $2,500 a year. Even distribution of water results in fewer rewashes, cutting the amount of water and energy used.
