A single, high-quality cutlery polishing machine can polish stainless steel flatware at about 3,500 pieces of cutlery every hour while a highly-skilled employee can do only 500 pieces in the same amount of time. Apart from the figure, there’s more important things involved. A single polisher can move the polishing work from the front to back of the operation. This means the employee responsible to do the washing of cutlery can also be tasked to deliver the perfectly polished cutlery immediately out from the dishwasher into the machine and finally into the table. In fact, the staff who was used to do hand polishing cutlery can now be routed to collect orders from the waiting customers.
In effect, therefore, the use of a cutlery polishing machine will not only save your business time but labour costs as well. Most importantly, the improvement it will have on the quality of your service in terms of not keeping your customers waiting for too long for their orders. There are just some few important things to keep into account when dealing with the machine.
- Always ensure that the cutlery is wet first prior to polishing them in the machine. Once they get dried before being polished, it helps to put them in a bucket or big bowl of water after being polished to prevent calcium formation.
- Before you polish your stainless steel flatware, try to give enough time for the grain to warm up before using the machine for proper polishing. The same idea applies after using the machine to make sure that the grain has dried for the next run.
- Be sure to replace the parts of the cutlery polishing machine as needed, particularly the UV light, to ensure that they work properly.
