TRAVELERS REST, S.C. – October 24, 2019 – A new low-flow
spray valve from Klarco was named a recipient of the SMART Label award at the
2019 HostMilano show for its water-saving design.
SMART Label awards
recognize products or services that bring innovation to the hospitality
industry through their functionality, technology, environmental sustainability,
or ethical or social implications. More than 215 companies applied for the
prestigious award, and 56 were honored as SMART Label winners.
The Klarco
low-flow spray valve features a flow rate of 4.54 liters per minute (1.2
gallons per minute), a significant reduction over the 16 L/min (4.25 GPM) that
is typical for European spray valves. The specially engineered low-flow valve offers
the same or improved cleaning performance as higher-flow spray valves,
dramatically decreasing the amount of water needed for cleaning.
A typical
foodservice kitchen using the spray valve for three hours per day will reduce
water use by more than 758,000 liters (200,000 gallons) over the course of a
year versus traditional spray valve options.
“Tools like the
Klarco low-flow spray valve make it easy for kitchens to start saving
significant amounts of water and reducing their environmental impact,” said Ken
Gallagher, T&S’ vice president of global sales. “Promoting sustainability
is central to the mission of T&S and Klarco. We’re honored to be recognized
for this contribution to foodservice efficiency.”
Klarco, a
foodservice plumbing manufacturer based in San Quirino, Italy, was acquired by
U.S.-based T&S Brass in 2018.
