NOR:DISK (NORDISK CLEAN SOLUTIONS)
Granule Technology™ & Water-Smart Commercial Warewashing; Authorised Dealer | Jacio Indicius
Since 1987, Saving One Drop at a Time. The Swedish Revolution in Pot Washing, Dishwashing & Resource Efficiency.
Manual pot and pan washing is, by most objective measures, one of the worst uses of professional kitchen staff time in existence. Pre-soaking stubborn residue. Scrubbing with aggressive chemicals. Rinsing repeatedly. Draining. Repeating. In a busy restaurant or institutional kitchen processing hundreds of pots, pans, gastronorm containers, and utensils per service, a team member spending two or three hours per day in this cycle is time, water, chemical, and human energy that could be directed entirely elsewhere.
Nor:disk; the commercial brand of Nordisk Clean Solutions, headquartered in Malmö, Sweden; has been engineering the answer to this problem since 1987. Their central innovation, Granule Technology™, uses thousands of small food-safe polypropylene granules circulating with warm water to provide the mechanical scrubbing action that eliminates the need for pre-soaking, heavy chemical dosing, and manual scrubbing. The result is pot and utensil washing that uses up to 70% less water than manual sink-based washing, requires almost no chemical cleaning agents, and returns clean, dry, immediately-usable pots and pans to the kitchen in a fraction of the time.
Alongside Granule Technology™, Nor:disk has developed a parallel range of Water-Smart dishwashing solutions; using Aqua Power Technology™ and Sequential Rinse Technology™; for operations where granule technology is a secondary priority but water and energy efficiency remain primary concerns. Together, these two technology families give Nor:disk a product range that spans from compact undercounter glasswashers for small operations through to large-capacity granule pot washers serving institutional kitchens feeding thousands of people per day.
Jacio Indicius brings Nor:disk’s Swedish warewashing technology to commercial kitchens across India, the Middle East, Gulf countries, the USA, and Asia; delivering the resource savings, operational efficiency, and sustainability credentials that Nor:disk machines produce in every market they serve.

Understanding Nor:disk Technology; Two Approaches to Sustainable Warewashing
Granule Technology™; The Mechanical Revolution in Pot Washing
Granule Technology™ is the intellectual foundation of the Nor:disk brand and the reason behind the company’s sustained growth since 1987. The technology operates on a simple but profoundly effective principle: use physical abrasion; delivered by thousands of circulating food-safe granules; to do the cleaning work that conventional pot washing systems assign to chemicals, high temperatures, and extended soaking times.
In a Granule Technology™ machine, the wash chamber is filled with warm water and a measured volume of small polypropylene granules. When the wash cycle begins, powerful pump action circulates the water-granule mixture at high velocity around the pots, pans, and utensils loaded in the machine. The granules strike every surface; removing grease, baked-on food residue, carbonised deposits, and protein adherences through direct physical contact. After the wash cycle, the granules are separated from the wash water and drained to a granule storage compartment, ready for reuse in the next cycle. The same granules are used thousands of times before replacement.
The consequences of this approach are measurable and significant. Chemical cleaning agents; which in conventional pot washing perform the primary cleaning function; are reduced to trace quantities, used only for sanitisation rather than cleaning. Water volume per cycle is dramatically lower than hand washing because the granules do the work that high water volumes do in conventional systems. Cycle times are shorter. Staff time is redirected from manual scrubbing to food production. And cleaning results; tested across the full range of pot washing soil types; consistently exceed what manual or conventional mechanical washing achieves.
Aqua Power Technology™; Concentrated Water Action Without Granules
Aqua Power Technology™ is Nor:disk’s water-based pot washing innovation for operations where granule technology is not the primary specification but where water efficiency and cleaning performance above conventional standards are still required. Aqua Power uses precisely directed, concentrated water pressure; applied at the optimal angles and distances from the wash item surface; to maximise mechanical cleaning energy per litre of water used. The C6 Aqua Power is the primary product in this technology family.
Sequential Rinse Technology™; Water-Smart Dishwashing
Sequential Rinse Technology™ is the core innovation in Nor:disk’s dishwashing and glasswashing range; a rinse system design that achieves the hygiene performance of a full rinse using significantly less water than conventional rinse systems. The sequential approach uses a precisely controlled sequence of rinse water application; ensuring complete coverage and temperature delivery across all wash items using minimum water volume. Sequential Rinse Technology™ is the technology foundation of the D-series dishwashers and G-series glasswashers in the Nor:disk range.

Nordisk Academy
The Nordisk Academy is Nor:disk’s training and knowledge development resource for commercial kitchen operators; providing online training content, technical documentation, operational guides, and product knowledge resources that help kitchen management teams and operators get maximum value from their Nor:disk installations. Academy resources include operational training modules, cleaning and maintenance guides, and troubleshooting content.
Savings Calculator
Nor:disk provides a documented savings calculation tool that models the water, energy, chemical, and staff time savings that a specific kitchen operation can expect from switching from manual pot washing to a Nor:disk granule solution. Based on daily meal numbers, current washing method, and annual operating days, the calculator produces a documented projection of resource savings that can be used for procurement business case development.
Business Evaluation
For large or complex operations, Nor:disk offers a formal business evaluation service; an on-site or consultative assessment of the operation’s current warewashing resource consumption, efficiency, and sustainability performance, with a detailed analysis of the specific savings and operational improvements that a Nor:disk installation would deliver. Jacio Indicius can facilitate business evaluations for customers across India, the Middle East, Gulf countries, the USA, and Asia.
