💰 How CMA Dishmachines Deliver Real Cost Savings
No Vent Hood = Lower Install Costs
CMA’s ventless line eliminates the need for a vent hood—often costing thousands to install and maintain. These dishmachines capture steam internally and reuse it to preheat incoming water, cutting both upfront and ongoing expenses.
Heat Recovery = Lower Utility Bills
Each model features a heat recovery system that captures hot vapor and transfers that energy to incoming cold water. This reduces booster heater workload and saves energy every cycle.
Water Conservation = Lower Water Bills
With water usage as low as 0.73 gallons per rack, CMA models reduce your water bill without sacrificing performance.
Less HVAC Load = Cooler Kitchens & Savings
By capturing heat and reducing steam emissions, CMA units ease the burden on your HVAC system, helping keep your kitchen comfortable and your cooling costs down.
