Hospital St-Gallen

KANTONSPITAL ST. GALLEN

Reduced consumption of energy, water and cleaning chemicals by 33% in the first year

The purchase of the M-iQ flight type dishwasher was a “unique exercise in cost saving” according to Pierer. In the first year of using the dishwasher alone the hospital reduced consumption of energy, water and cleaning chemicals by a total of about 33 per cent compared to conventional machines, which translates into about EUR 40,000 (CHF 63,000). Pierer adds the additional purchase of a WasteStar vacuum food waste system coupled with the M-iQ as a stroke of luck:

“This has effectively solved the problem of wet waste disposal.”

In the first year alone the machine reduced operating costs by CHF 63,000 (approx. EUR 40,000): That works out to about 33 percent less energy, water and cleaning chemicals than the dishwashers previously in use. And the trend continues. Wolfgang Pierer, Head of Food Services at the hospital remarks: “That even exceeds what MEIKO promised us in the prospectus and brochures.”
