History
Our founders’ experience in the field of warewashing - glasswashing and dishwashing - in the U K and Europe enabled us to analyse and address the specific problems presented by the Dublin market and infrastructure, problems such as inconsistent and inadequate mains water supply - to the extent of water starvation - the very kiss of death to a commercial glasswashing operation.
Innovation has been the key. RENOVATE™ Wicked Liquid was specifically formulated to quickly (within hours) and efficiently "bottom-out" established glasswashing machines with accumulated yeast mould, grease and bacterial deposits which would otherwise have taken many days with conventional machine degreasing compounds (such as RENOVATE MD™). RENOVATE Wicked Liquid™ is now the preferred "bottoming-out" medium of service teams throughout Ireland and the UK.
To overcome the major and specific issue of water starvation, three Rinse Water Guarantee Systems were developed: RinseBABY, RinseBOY and RinseMASTER. The latter two systems - Boy and Master - were conceived, developed, patented and brought to the market within eighteen months and specifically serve the owner/operators of established conventional glasswashing machines, i.e. they are a "retro" solution and enable us to convert underperforming conventional machines into perfectly performing glasswashing SYSTEMS (generally with the added installation of our unique FLOBOX Detergent Dosing and Concentration Controllers and Manual or Automatic Water Softeners, Reverse Osmosis or Demineralisation Units.
The "RinseBABY"? Well, we’ve built that into our own range of glasswashing and front-loading and passthrough dishwashing systems. Our N40A, N45A and N50A glasswashing systems have been developed with the co-operation of a leading European warewashing equipment manufacturer. They are totally stand-alone systems which perform to perfection wash-after-wash, controlling their own detergent dosing and concentration and always rinsing fully and completely before the cycle is finished. Thus, never will there be detergent left on the glasses to spoil the head of the beer or to taint the taste; totally sterile and a perfect glasswashing result every time.
Our latest innovation, the all-stainless steel, sink-mounted Glasswashing Pre-wash Rinse Unit (PR1) is highly effective in virtually eliminating machine odours and reducing detergent consumption to a minimum.
FOR HOT BUFFETS, IT’S ............... HOT STUFF™
Whilst all this was going on, in 2006 a commercial opportunity presented itself to us in a totally different market, but, there again, one in which we have plenty of Group expertise - that of Restaurant Fuels. Back in the 70s, flare (flambé) lamps and carving trolleys were the Thing and, along with the hardware, our sister company, Flomatic Ltd, sold and distributed thousands of gallons of Mineralised Methylated Spirits [MMS] a month throughout the U K: they were famous for it - No1 in the catering trade. Now the trend/fashion has moved to chafing dishes; they are a la môde - with their associated fuels.
Being right in our element, it has taken BWFU Dublin less than twelve months to establish itself as Ireland’s No1 importer/stockist/distributor of chafing fuel. We carry a very large stock of Chafing Dishes and 2-Hours, 4-Hours and 6-Hours HOT STUFF™ disposable Chafing Fuels in our Naas Road/Dublin stores.
