Aqua Power™ Technology is the latest pot washing innovation from Nordisk Clean Solutions (Nor:disk). Aqua Power is based on Granule Technology™ but takes out the granules, and instead cleverly balances water flow, pressure, and shape to achieve a blasting cleaning effect. The technology produces up to triple the wash power and performs twice as good as currently leading brands that rely on the industry-common spinning arm technology, according to wash tests carried out by the inhouse laboratory.

The very first model with Aqua Power™ Technology is the C6 Aqua Power, which premiered with the opening of Sirha Lyon on January 23, 2025.

Contrary to the industry standard, Aqua Power Technology wash system is made up of several parameters which together create the optimal washing conditions. The wash pump and wash tank are paired with fixed wash arms and specially shaped nozzles, which together create a blasting cleaning power. By securely fixating the items to be washed a specially designed stainless-steel basket, the system harnesses the full wash power, which cancels the need to pre-wash for the majority of the daily wash load.

Aqua Power Technology is tailored specifically to the private sector of commercial kitchens to offer them a solution to lay off wasteful and time-consuming pre-washing, and become more productive, profitable, and sustainable.

C6 Aqua Power is designed to be easy to use and maintain, to meet the sector’s particular challenges with low staff retention and ever-changing crews.

“Aqua Power Technology offers a struggling customer group a great solution to speed up flow and cut overhead costs. We are confident that the C6 Aqua Power will become a well-known and beloved companion for many kitchens in the commercial kitchen scene in the years to come.”

– Mattias Johansson, CCO Nordisk Clean Solutions

Taking out the need to pre-soak and scrub utensils saves time and effort for the kitchens, increasing both productivity and profitability. It’s also much more sustainable, and can save up to 10,500 kWh, 280,000 litres of water, and 390 litres of chemicals per year compared to washing manually in sinks*.

“Our vision statement reads ‘save the planet, one drop at a time’ and that’s the journey we are on. To save more drops, we must help more kitchens. Over the last 5 years we have launched several strategic additions to our portfolio, all with the core purpose of saving more water.”

– Mikael Samuelsson, CEO Nordisk Clean Solutions

The stainless-steel Pro Wash Basket – which is included with standard delivery of the C6 Aqua Power and was developed parallel to the pot washer – and is a further development of four existing baskets and accessories from the existing Nor:disk accessory portfolio, now all built into one. It offers unique productivity and flexibility thanks to the built-in folding support grids and the detachable utensils holder. The Pro Wash Basket supports up to 6 GN 1/1, 65 mm deep, or 2 GN 2/1 up to 100 mm, or 12 GN 1/4, 1/6, 1/9 and a multitude of similar items.* The savings calculations are based on a sample site preparing 1,000 hot meals per day and 300 operational days per year. The comparison features manual washing in sinks compared to washing in C6 Aqua Power: 50% Short, 50% Normal wash cycle.
