Cutlery polisher VEMA AP2091/E

A cutlery dryer removes moisture from washed cutlery without manual drying, preventing water spots and speeding up service. The appliance draws in air, heats it, and circulates it through a chamber where cutlery is placed. The warm air evaporates residual water, leaving items dry and ready for storage or immediate use. This method avoids the need for cloths or towels, reducing cross-contamination and saving labour. The operator loads washed cutlery into the chamber, ensuring items are separated for even airflow. The unit is switched on, and the heating element warms the air while a fan distributes it throughout the interior. After a set cycle, the cutlery is removed, dry and hygienic. No additional handling is required once the cycle completes. The VEMA AP2091/E is constructed with a stainless steel exterior and interior, providing durability and resistance to corrosion in a kitchen environment. The compact dimensions allow it to fit on a worktop or shelf, taking minimal space in a busy kitchen. Controls are simple: an on/off switch starts the drying cycle, and an indicator light confirms the unit is operating. The 230 V power requirement matches standard UK electrical circuits, making installation straightforward without special wiring. The weight of 36 kg allows the unit to be moved by two people or with a trolley, while the footprint ensures it occupies a small area of counter space. The power rating of 1.09 kW indicates a modest load on the electrical supply, suitable for continuous use during service. Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior with a damp cloth to remove any residue. The stainless steel surfaces resist staining and can be sanitised regularly to maintain hygiene standards. The stainless-steel heating element slides out without tools so the tray can be sanitised between shifts. The AP2091/E is a standalone unit with no stated variants or additional configurations. This cutlery dryer is listed in the catering equipment catalogue under foodservice hygiene and post-wash care.
