Professional and industrial dishwashers

If you are or plan to become the owner of a dining room, cafe, restaurant or a large hotel, then you can not do without professional equipment that will help to improve the quality of service and accordingly gain an advantage over competitors. Professional dishwashers are just such equipment. How do professional machines differ from domestic ones, what are they and what characteristics do they have? We will talk about this in the framework of the article.

Types of industrial dishwashers

There are a great many models of professional dishwashers. To understand them and understand which ones to choose for your own business, you need to classify them. A good basis for classification may be the type of professional dishwashers. There are 3 types of professional “dishwashers”:

• frontal type;
• dome type;
• tunnel type.
  

Front-loading professional dishwashers are the most popular type of machines among consumers. There are reasons for this.

1. Front-loading dishwasher takes up much less space than a domed or even less tunnel.
2. It is much easier to use than other types of machines.
3. At a cost it is somewhat cheaper than dome and tunnel.
4. Its productivity is just enough for small and medium-sized catering establishments of restaurants, cafes, bars, canteens, of which most.

Front-mounted dishwashers have a limited load. Usually their productivity does not exceed 800-900 items per hour, but this amount is sometimes enough to serve 3 small cafes at once. The front-loading dishwasher is very similar to a household “dishwasher”, the difference is only in size.

The dome type dishwasher differs from the front in large dimensions. Tables with a sink and an impressive sorting surface are attached to the body of such a machine from the sides. The main body of the dome “dishwasher” when loading dishes is divided into two parts: the base and the dome. In the upper part of the base there is a niche resembling a sink, a basket of dishes is laid in it, then this niche is covered with a dome and the washing mode is set. Productivity reaches 1,500 items per hour.

The most productive are tunnel-type dishwashers. Under certain conditions, such machines can wash up to 2-2.5 thousand items per hour. These are conveyor-type machines, that is, dishes are pre-packed in special cassette trays, each of which is the size of a small box. Cassettes are unlikely to be installed on the conveyor and are gradually moving towards a washing and then a drying tank.

Dishwashers of such high performance are installed in canteens at large enterprises, in huge hotels, business centers, in large catering establishments. To mount such a "miracle of technology" will require an area of ​​about 15 square meters. m

Important! Operation of a tunnel-type dishwasher will require the presence of a person, since the dishes must be laid on the conveyor, and then taken at the exit of the tanks.

How is an industrial “dishwasher” different from a household one?

As already noted above, industrial “dishwashers” of the front type are very reminiscent of ordinary household dishwashers. What, then, is the difference between them, except for the price? After all, a professional dishwasher will have to pay an amount four times the cost of a household machine.

• A professional machine differs from the household size and capacity of the tank.
• Professional machines are made from very reliable elements, each of which is designed for a significant working resource.For example, in a household machine there may be a weak plastic sprinkler, in a professional machine this element consists of stainless steel.
• An industrial dishwasher can wash dozens of times more dishes than household dishes.
• To connect an industrial “dishwasher” special communications may be required - a water supply system with a certain capacity and an industrial power grid.

Note! Far from all industrial dishwashers, the dishwashing process is fully automated.

Some entrepreneurs naively believe that they can equip their small cafe with several household dishwashers, and they will completely cope with the task. It may well be that at first it will be so, but then it will take its depreciation of equipment and they will have to constantly pay for the services of repair masters. As a result, momentary savings will result in large costs in the future. Experts say that it’s better to immediately overpay a little and buy an industrial dishwasher so as not to have problems in the future.
