POWERflow was the perfect recipe for success for premium burger joint Shake Shack.
When they opened their new site in Cambridge, it wasn’t just the menu that needed to impress, it was the plumbing, too. Behind every sizzling ShackBurger and steamy cheese fry, there’s a serious demand for reliable, high-performance hot water.
To keep pace with the heat of a bustling commercial kitchen, the team opted for a 300 Litre direct copper POWERflow cylinder (installed in the basement, no less) And when your hot water system is working from below ground level, maintaining pressure is absolutely critical.
POWERflow delivers mains pressure hot water to multiple outlets at once, making it ideal for food and drink venues where peak demand is the norm, not the exception.
But the real secret ingredient … its Copper.
Why is copper a top-shelf choice?
- Naturally antimicrobial – perfect for hygiene-sensitive environments like kitchens and food prep area
- Excellent thermal conductivity – heats up quickly and recovers fast, even with heavy use
- Durable and corrosion-resistant – built to last in tough commercial settings
- Compact footprint with vertical design – makes the most of tight spaces like basement plant rooms
- Maintains strong water pressure – essential when you’re pumping hot water from the basement to the busy floors above
.
Whether it’s for dishwashers, handwashing stations, or quick clean up mid-service, the POWERflow keeps hot water flowing instantly and consistently—even when the pressure’s on (literally).
With Shake Shack’s signature energy up front, we’re proud to provide the behind-the-scenes performance that keeps the show running smoothly.
So yes, there is a lot of pressure in the kitchen, but thanks to POWERflow, it’s all under control.
