• Miele at Intergastra and Internorga trade shows

• Powerful ironers, fresh water dishwashers with integrated drying and more

With new products and services, Miele aims to simplify the life of hotel and restaurant owners – and ensure that guests feel at home. The spotlight at the Intergastra and Internorga trade shows will be on new ironers, and not only for on-premise laundries. And there will be new products for the kitchen, too: Fresh water dishwashers with a fan-assisted drying system, and high-end ready-to-serve meals delivered to your doorstep. (Intergastra, Stuttgart, February 15-19, Building 3, Booth 3 B 31; Internorga, Hamburg, March 13-17, Building A 3, Booth 306).

Miele offers customised product solutions to ensure that laundries are tailored to the needs of your business. New flatwork ironers, for example, are capable of ironing more than 100 kg of laundry per hour. Thanks to pneumatic suspension, the trough is lowered and raised fast to guarantee not only high throughput but also an excellent laundry finish. Temperatures and speeds can be entered precisely and called up at any time.

If space is at a premium in a laundry, washing machines and dryers from the Little Giants and Octoplus series are the products of choice. On a footprint of only half a square metre, these products offer the complete range of professional and gentle laundry care – combined with low consumption. Octoplus models are now available with a load capacity of 9 kg compared with the previous 8 kg. In the washing machine, sensors gauge the weight of textiles, and electronic sensor controls on the dryer ensure that there are no damp spots in the load.

Efficient dishwashing – No more manual drying

A fan-assisted drying system on many Miele fresh water dishwashers ensures perfectly dry glasses without having to use a tea-towel. This is also a benefit on plastic crockery. Even greater efficiency is offered by an automatic liquid dispensing system and an integrated dispenser pump, space-savingly located in the plinth.

High-quality plated cuisine – without kitchen or chef

Clients wishing to offer high-quality food at off-peak times or for meetings and small conferences – without the kitchen having to be open or a chef on hand – will be able to gather information on MChef at Miele’s stands. This company delivers high-end plated meals, appetisingly arranged on porcelain plates, straight to your business: from exquisite main course through to delectable three-course meals. Dishes remain refrigerated and fresh on the way to the client in special crates with up to four climatic zones. Food is then cooked to a T in a dialog oven from Miele, with all ingredients perfectly cooked at the same time – within around 25 minutes.

Even more ideas and inspiration, for example on financing and leasing deals, will be available from attendant staff or from the Miele 'Hotel 360°' and 'welcome & stay' magazines which will be available at all exhibitions.
