The Cutlery Polisher:

How it works

As described in the video above specially prepared organic corn granulate is heated to a bacteria killing and optimal polishing temperature of 50 - 70 degrees whilst agitated in a hygienic and rust resistant stainless steel tank.

Cutlery, still wet and hot from the dish washer, can then be added a handful at a time through the entry chute, becoming immersed in the granulate which gently dries and polishes as it feeds through to the exit chute where the cutlery is collected in a tray ready for service while the granulate is re-circulated for further use. Bactericidal UV bulbs within the tank further enhance hygiene.

The process takes between 20 and 30 seconds and allows further handfulls to be added during that time.

Spoonshine’s unique polishing granulate is heat treated and crushed to ensure maximum polishing and drying effectiveness before being filtered to keep the process and your cutlery dust free.

Add Polish to your First Impressions

It is true to say that "You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression" and nowhere more so than in the catering and hospitality industry.

The cutlery and glassware you exhibit to your clients when they first sit down at your table says it all regarding how much you care about your product and also, critically, how much you care about them.

The diner's perception of the cleanliness and hygiene within your establishment and of the utensils that you expect them to put in their mouths is a crucial part of their dining experience.

Contented, relaxed customers are likely to eat and drink more, return earlier and more often and to recommend you to others, thereby directly influencing your current and future profitability.

The pride you take pays off and Spoonshine polishing products are your partners in maximising your front of house impact and ensuring that your excellent first impressions last.

Save Time, Save Money

Catering industry studies demonstrate that at best even the most diligent kitchen operative can only polish a maximum of 400 items of cutlery an hour to an acceptable standard.

Our polishing equipment can effectively and efficiently handle between 5 and 30 times that amount allowing for huge labour savings and freeing staff for more profitable activities such as upselling and attending to your customers.

By offering a comprehensive range of cutlery polishers, Spoonshine can enable establishments catering for as few as 60 covers a day to save money. There is no upper limit.

Before discovering the benefits of owning or renting a cutlery polisher many of our clients were regularly forking out wages for upwards of 40 hours each week for their staff to perform this task to often varied standards.

For some of our larger customers this figure ran into 100s of hours and they are now saving £1000s.
