Product Overview

Here’s a common headache for any busy venue: plasticware that comes out of the dishwasher still soaking wet. The Winterhalter B170XD plastics rinse aid 5Ltr is the specialist solution designed to tackle that exact problem head-on.

Expert Review and  Insights

For any site using reusable plastics, the B170XD is a true problem-solver. Winterhalter has focused on the single biggest annoyance of washing plastics – their inability to dry properly. This rinse aid’s formulation targets that issue directly, turning a slow, frustrating process into a smooth, efficient one. It's a premium product that genuinely delivers on its promise of a spotless, stackable finish every time.

Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning Expert View Profile →

  • Top Performance: Unbeatable on polycarbonate and  reusable plastics; no more hand-drying needed.
  • Specialist Focus: Less cost-effective than a general-purpose rinse aid for kitchens using no plastic.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A busy outdoor events company in the Lake District was struggling with a slow turnaround of reusable plastic wine glasses and  tumblers at weddings, leading to delays at the bar. They needed a way to wash and  dry their plasticware much faster without sacrificing presentation.

"We were constantly fighting a losing battle with wet plastics, and  it looked unprofessional. The Winterhalter rinse aid completely sorted it. Glasses now come out of the washer bone-dry, crystal clear, and  ready to go straight back out. It has genuinely smoothed out our entire bar operation."

Robert Mills – Operations Director at 'Lakeside Events'

The switch resulted in a 50% faster turnaround of plastic glassware and  completely eliminated the need for two staff members to hand-dry items during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • For use with commercial warewashers equipped with an automatic dosing system.
  • Ensure the dosing tube is placed securely into the B170XD container.
  • Consult your warewasher's manual or service engineer to set the correct dosage level for your water conditions.
  • Run a test cycle with plastic items to check for a perfect, dry finish and  adjust dosage if necessary.

Keeping It Going

  • Always wear suitable PPE, such as gloves and  eye protection, when handling the container.
  • Store the container upright in a cool, dry, and  well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and  maintain effectiveness.
  • Periodically check the dosing lines for any blockages or kinks to ensure consistent performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Dishwasher Chemicals

Not sure what fits best for your kitchen's needs? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right warewashing chemicals for a perfect finish.

Water Hardness Matters

Hard water can leave limescale and  spots. While this rinse aid works well in most conditions, pairing it with the right detergent for your local water type will elevate your results.

Match to Your Ware

If you wash a high volume of plastic items, a specialist plastic rinse aid like this is non-negotiable. For general use, a universal rinse aid might suffice, but won't perform as well on plastics.

Check the Concentration

A highly concentrated formula like this B170XD dishwasher additive might seem pricier upfront, but it's far more economical over time as you use less product per wash cycle.

System Compatibility

Using a detergent and  rinse aid from the same manufacturer, like Winterhalter, ensures the chemicals are designed to work together perfectly, giving you the most reliable outcome.

Safety and  Storage

Always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for any chemical. Ensure you have the correct storage space and  your staff are trained on how to handle it safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I just pour this into my dishwasher?

A: No, this product is designed for professional machines with automatic dosing pumps that feed the correct amount of chemical into the wash cycle.

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

A: When dosed correctly, it rinses away completely during the final rinse cycle, leaving no taste, smell, or residue.

Q: What makes this better for plastics than a standard rinse aid?

A: It contains specific ingredients (surfactants) that are formulated to break the surface tension on low-energy surfaces like plastic, which standard rinse aids can't do effectively.

Q: Is the Winterhalter B170XD safe for all types of plastic?

A: Yes, it is especially suitable for all common commercial-grade plastics, including polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), and  SAN.

Q: How do I know the correct dosage setting?

A: A qualified dishwasher engineer should calibrate the dosage for you based on your machine and  water hardness. Your machine's manual will also offer guidance.

Q: I don't have a Winterhalter machine. Can I still use this?

A: Absolutely. This commercial warewasher rinse aid is suitable for use in any brand of commercial dishwasher that has an automatic rinse aid dispenser.

Q: Will this also help with spots on my glassware?

A: Yes, while its speciality is plastics, it's also an excellent rinse aid for preventing spots and  streaks on glassware and  cutlery.

Q: How quickly will my plastics dry with this product?

A: Drying is significantly accelerated. Items will often be touch-dry and  cool enough for stacking as soon as the wash cycle finishes.

Why Do Plastics Need a Specialised Rinse Aid?

Ever wondered why a ceramic plate comes out of the dishwasher dry, but a plastic tub right next to it is still covered in water droplets? It comes down to surface energy. Materials like glass and  ceramic have high surface energy, causing water to spread out in a thin, even sheet that evaporates quickly. Plastics, however, have low surface energy, which makes water 'cling' to the surface in stubborn beads that refuse to dry.

Think of it like the difference between a waxed and  an un-waxed car bonnet. On the un-waxed surface, rain pools up. On the freshly waxed surface, it beads and  rolls right off. The Winterhalter B170XD dishwasher additive acts like that wax for your plastics. Its specialist surfactants dramatically lower the water's surface tension, forcing it to sheet off the plastic just as it does with glass. This simple bit of chemistry is the secret to getting a perfectly dry, streak-free finish every time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Festival Bars: For rapidly turning around reusable plastic pint glasses and  tumblers during the busiest services.
  • School & Hospital Canteens: Ideal for getting plastic trays, plates, and  beakers dry and  hygienically ready for the next mealtime.
  • Event Caterers: Perfect for high-volume sites with lots of plastic tableware, ensuring a professional, spotless result.
  • Coffee Shops & Takeaways: A must-have for establishments using reusable plastic cold-drink cups, lids, and  containers.
