Bosch launches cutting-edge dishwasher with Zeolite technology

This system is based on zeolite, a natural silicate material, which is used in the drying process to store moisture and heat. Silicates have a porous structure that allows them to store moisture and release it as heat. As the zeolite regenerates itself during each wash cycle, it does not deteriorate inside the dishwasher. No steam escapes, and the tableware and cookware are no longer hot after drying. This is how it works in detail: A special container holds about one kilogram of zeolite. At the end of the wash cycle the steam that was generated is fed into this container. The zeolite absorbs the moisture completely. What remains is hot, dry air, which is fed back into the interior of the dishwasher and dries the tableware and cookware. This environment-friendly technology means that BSH''s dishwashers now only consume 0.73 kWh of electricity in their energy program, and that some models lie ten percent below the limits for the top-grade energy efficiency class A+++.
