The Peel Tech system has a number of applications for the catering trade. Below we hear from Jamie Jack at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh
The Problem
Whilst we were not experiencing any actual issues with drainage etc we had just purchased a Food Waste Station and were interested to see if the company’s claims of 80% retrieval of food from going into the waste system was actually achievable. Being a University we were keen to reduce our overall negative impact on the environment as much as possible
The Peel Tech appeared at the time to be the only system available on the market that offered this solution and Malcolm was onsite on several occasions liaising with our estates department regarding any concerns and issues that they may have had
The Solution
It was quite astonishing the amount of additional food waste that the Peel Tech system captured that would have otherwise entered our waste system causing untold amount of issues in the future
It is a very simple solution that predominantly looks after itself only a few items that needed cleaned and emptied daily. The staff love the ease of use and it is easily cleaned - what more can you say.
Peel Tech was on hand to instruct our estates department on the easy task of installation.
The Result
We have had two of these systems installed now for over 5 years and they are still going strong
They perform just as well as the day they were installed. We have two systems: one that captures potato peel and the other connected to our food waste station which captures all other food waste.
Would you recommend to fellow catering trade businesses? Without a doubt, it highlights a real issue that generally goes unnoticed when something is flushed down a drain - out of sight out of mind as they say!
