The Vegas casino running five CDM 12Ks around the clock
Tens of thousands of covers a day across buffets, banquets, fine dining, and 24-hour outlets. At this volume, hand-polishing isn't slow — it's mathematically impossible.
A major Las Vegas casino resort never stops feeding people, which means flatware never stops moving. The stewarding operation runs three shifts, every day of the year, and the dish rooms are sized like factories.
Five SilverShine CDM 12K units run continuously across the property — industrial-volume flatware finishing, around the clock. The CDM 12K is built for exactly that duty cycle: continuous operation where the dish room never closes.
At casino scale the math turns brutal: every labour-hour saved is multiplied by five machines, three shifts, and 365 days. The savings stop being a line item and start being a headcount strategy.
The math, line by line
Illustrative scenario: 50,000 pieces per day property-wide, $18/hour wage, 365 days. Hand rate 300 pieces/hour; machine rate 8,000 pieces/hour — confirm against the CDM 12K specification.
Throughput figures in this scenario are illustrative; verify against the CDM 12K specification for your configuration.
