Expert Review and  Insights

Plastics are notoriously tricky to dry in a commercial dishwasher, often coming out wet and  needing a final, time-consuming wipe-down. This Winterhalter B170XD formula is engineered to tackle that specific problem head-on. Its sheeting action is brilliant, ensuring water slides right off for a properly dry, stackable finish straight from the machine – a real efficiency booster.

Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning View Profile →

  • Pro: Superb drying performance on plastics, virtually eliminating any need for hand-drying.
  • Con: It's a specialist product, so it's optimised for plasticware over general-purpose use.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Pavilion in Harrogate recently switched to stylish, reusable plastic drinkware for their outdoor events but found their existing glasswasher left everything frustratingly wet. This created a major bottleneck for the bar team during peak service, requiring two staff members just for hand-drying.

"Our bar staff were spending ages hand-drying every single plastic cup, which was a nightmare on a busy Saturday. The Winterhalter plastics dishwasher rinse aid sorted it instantly. They come out of the glasswasher bone dry and  ready to stack, which has totally streamlined our operation."

Samuel Jones – General Manager

The switch completely eliminated the need for manual drying, freeing up one staff member per shift and  reducing the wash-to-serve time by over 50%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves and  eye protection) when handling any commercial chemicals.
  • Place the container in a safe, stable position near your warewasher.
  • Carefully insert your machine's chemical intake tube directly into the B170XD container.
  • Ensure the tube reaches the bottom to prevent air getting into the line and  to use all the product.
  • Consult your warewasher's manual to set the correct dosage – a little goes a long way!

Keeping It Going

  • Check the chemical level regularly to avoid running out unexpectedly mid-service.
  • Store the container in a cool, dry, and  well-ventilated area, away from foodstuffs and  direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to maintain product integrity and  prevent spills.
  • Never, ever mix this rinse aid with detergent or any other chemical.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Warewashing Chemicals

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few tips to help you choose the right chemicals for a perfect finish every time.

Analyse Your Water

Hard water areas often need a more robust rinse aid to prevent limescale spots on glassware and  cutlery. Knowing your local water type is half the battle.

Consider Your Ware

Are you washing mostly glass, ceramics, or plastics? A specialist chemical, like this Winterhalter B170XD for plastics, will always give far better results on its target material.

Match the Machine's Doser

Ensure your chosen chemicals are compatible with your dishwasher's automatic dosing system. This ensures consistent, cost-effective use and  protects your machine.

Concentration vs. Cost

A highly concentrated formula might have a higher upfront cost, but it's often much cheaper per wash. Do the maths – it usually pays to buy concentrated.

Safety First, Always

Always check the safety data sheets (COSHH) and  ensure your team are trained in handling commercial cleaning chemicals correctly and  safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this in my glasswasher as well as my dishwasher?

A: Absolutely. The B170XD is suitable for all commercial warewashers, including undercounter glasswashers and  larger passthrough dishwashers.

Q: Is this rinse aid only for plastic items?

A: While it's specially formulated for outstanding results on plastics, it is also highly effective and  safe to use on silver and  aluminium items.

Q: Will it leave a chemical taste or smell on my cups?

A: No. It has a neutral formulation and  is designed to rinse away completely, leaving no residue, taste, or odour behind.

Q: How does it actually make things dry faster?

A: It works by breaking the surface tension of the water. This stops water from forming into droplets and  instead makes it 'sheet' off the surface, leading to rapid, spot-free drying.

Q: What is the correct dosage to use?

A: The ideal dosage depends on your machine's settings and  your local water hardness. It's best to consult your warewasher's manual or a technician for precise calibration.

Q: Why is a concentrated formula better?

A: It's more economical and  efficient. You use less product per wash, which means a 10L container lasts much longer and  your overall cost-per-wash is lower.

Q: Can I use this for washing cutlery?

A: Yes, it will help to ensure your cutlery comes out gleaming and  free from water spots, just like your other tableware.

Q: Do I still need to use a detergent?

A: Yes, definitely. This is a rinse aid, used in the final rinse cycle to help with drying. You must use it alongside a suitable commercial dishwasher detergent which does the actual cleaning.

How a Concentrated Formula Saves You More Than Just Money

When you see 'highly concentrated' on a product like this commercial rinse additive for glasswashers, it’s not just marketing jargon. Think of it like a quality squash concentrate versus a cheap, ready-to-drink juice. With the Winterhalter B170XD, you're not paying to ship and  store water; you're buying pure performance. A small, precise dose from this 10L container does the work of a much larger volume of a weaker product. This means each bottle lasts significantly longer, reducing re-ordering frequency, saving valuable stockroom space, and  ultimately lowering your cost-per-wash. It's the smarter, more economical way to manage your chemical supplies.
