Nelson has enhanced its Glass Dry glass dyer and released the new Glass Dry Plus with accelerated drying speeds, offering improved solutions to common glassware challenges in bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, restaurants and other wet-led venues.
Operators of busy pubs and bars, often find they don’t have enough time to wait for glasses to air dry. However, serving beer in glasses that are still warm and wet has a serious impact of on the quality of drink served.
Lager or beer served in a wet or warm glass will always appear flat, lifeless and have the inability to form or retain its head, while towel-drying glasses can leave steaks or cause cross-contamination. In addition, widgets at the bottom of the glass that help with head formation are ineffective when wet.
Glass dryers like the Nelson Glass Dry and new Glass Dry Plus offer a simple solution, slashing the drying time to as low as four minutes, so glasses are ready to serve quicker, without any risks from towel drying.
Nelson has updated the original Glass Dry with a series of enhancements including a new metal air rack base for a more rigid build, better protection from corrosion when exposed to chemicals, improved airflow through slots in the base of the air rack, and a new grill cover over the airflow slot, which protects the fan against water ingress and further improves airflow.
The new Glass Dry Plus offers all the same benefits, with the addition of a second fan for accelerated drying speeds and the capability to dry polycarbonate glasses too.
Both models work by drawing air in via the base and circulating it around the glasses through a grid plate, before passing cool air at speed over the glasses to bring them back to just above ambient temperature. This ensures the inside of the glass is completely dry, including the widget, to ensure that the drink poured won’t appear flat and will retain its head.
They’re easy to install and use (using a three-pin plug), with a minimal footprint (glass dryers can be sited on top of the glasswasher) and a range of basket sizes to suit all operations.
John Nelson, managing director at Nelson Dish and Glasswashing Machines, said: “These are simple but incredibly effective machines that play a vital role in ensuring the quality of drinks served in pubs and bars.
“We’ve enhanced the Glass Dry and introduced the superior Glass Dry Plus, giving customers a choice of models that both deliver reliable, effective and quick glass drying.”
