500F Dishwasher Overview

Owners of small restaurants, cafes, snack bars and bars do not have the economic sense to purchase a productive industrial dishwasher. At the same time, due to the limited resource of work, there is no reason to buy a household dishwasher. What to do? Buy expensive Italian low-performance equipment? It is worth paying attention to the domestic-made 500F dishwasher. We devoted our today's review to her.

Destination

But this is really a problem. Go find a good low-performance industrial dishwasher for small catering establishments. There are a lot of models produced in Europe on the market, but from the price tags “eyes are on the forehead”. And there is practically no domestic equipment of this class. What remains? Buy more productive MPU 700 dishwasher?

We offer a look at the domestic dishwasher 500F. This equipment was created just for small business by the Cheboksary enterprise Abat. The machine is perfect for washing any reusable dishes, the dimensions of which do not exceed the dimensions of the cassette 500x500 mm. You can wash plates, salad bowls, glasses, cutlery, cups, trays and more. The productivity of the machine is not more than 500 plates per hour. The machine can be used even in the absence of hot water, and its average working life reaches 10 years.

500F was specifically designed for the needs of small catering establishments. It is unpretentious and easy to handle.

The operation of the 500F dishwasher is very similar to the operation of a conventional kitchen dishwasher. The only difference is that instead of baskets for dishes, special cassettes are used, and the washing is much faster and more efficient. On one fully loaded cassette, the machine spends no more than 3 minutes.

Compound elements

Front-loading dishwasher 500F is distinguished by its simplicity and reliability. Its body is made of stainless steel, and the washing chamber is made of thick sheets of stainless steel. All components used to create the machine are wear-resistant and designed for a large working resource. The model consists of the following elements:

• washing chamber doors;
• spray for washing;
• rinse spray;
• control panel;
• a pump for pumping washing solution;
• a boiler;
• water supply hose to rinse sprinklers;
• water supply pipes to washing sprinklers;
• drain hose;
• inlet valve;
• bathtubs;
• heating element;
• overflow tubes;
• rinse and washing dispensers.

The electrics of the 500F dishwasher are represented by a controller, thermal switches for the bathtub and boiler, circuit breaker, KM1 starter, relay K1, K2, PTT.

Preparation for work and start-up

Before starting to wash the dishes, the machine must be filled with detergent and started so that it draws water and warms it up to the set temperature. At this time, you can put dirty dishes in cassettes and prepare them for loading in the washing chamber. We take a cartridge with dirty dishes and along the guides we “drive” it into the washing chamber. Close the door and start the washing program.

In the memory of the machine there are two washing programs. The first program runs for 120 seconds, while washing the dishes lasts 102 seconds, pause 8 seconds, rinse 10 seconds. The second program is designed for more dirty dishes. It lasts 180 seconds, where it takes 160 seconds to wash, 8 seconds to pause and 12 seconds to rinse. Upon completion of rinsing, the cartridge with already clean dishes is removed from the washing chamber and a new cartridge with dirty dishes is installed in its place and the program is repeated.

Nuances of using cassettes

Technical characteristics of the 500F machine require the use of 500x500 mm cassettes.The internal dimensions of the cartridge are 460x460 mm, this fact must be taken into account when choosing dishes in a cafe, dining room or small restaurant. Each dish type has its own drawer.

The cassette for plates is equipped with special pins that facilitate the installation of bowls and plates. The pins form two corridors: in a wide one you can put bowls, and in a narrow plate. Thus, the plate includes 18 plates and 12 bowls. It is also convenient to fold trays, baking sheets, gastronome containers, etc. into a plate cassette.

The neutral cassette has no pins. It needs to install cups, glasses or mugs. The dishes are simply put upside down denser and sent to the sink. Pans, ladles, ladles and other equipment are put in a neutral cassette. In a neutral cassette, cutlery should also be washed, but for this, the cassette is covered from above with a special metal mesh so that the cutlery does not fly out of the container during washing.

So, the domestic industrial dishwasher 500F has become a hope for entrepreneurs opening a business related to catering. This technique is quite inexpensive. Its price is about 107,000 rubles, while foreign analogues cost at least one and a half times more expensive. At low cost, the 500F is a reliable "assistant" that does its job well.
