Types of commercial Dishwashers

Commercial dishwashers, essential tools in the kitchens of the Horeca sector, offer unparalleled efficiency in cleaning dishes and utensils. There are different types available on the market:

• Front-load dishwashers: Ideal for small spaces, these dishwashers stand out for their compact design and the ability to be placed under counters, optimizing space.
• Rack dishwashers: Characterized by greater flexibility in the arrangement of items to be washed, rack dishwashers allow efficient management of internal spaces, ensuring versatility in use.
• Tunnel dishwashers: Designed to deal with large volumes of dishes and utensils, tunnel dishwashers offer continuous washing cycles and a high degree of automation, making them particularly suitable for high-workflow contexts.

Regardless of the choice, all commercial dishwashers are characterized by high performance, durability and a wide range of features. These devices ensure an efficient and hygienic working environment in restaurant and commercial kitchens, significantly contributing to the optimized management of kitchen utensils.

How do commercial dishwashers work?

Usually, the cleaning process is divided into seven well-defined phases:

• Water storage: Before entering the dishwasher, the water is taken from the water supply and fills a special tank, generally positioned in the lower part of the appliance.
• Water heating: The electric resistance increases the temperature of the water in the tub, preparing it for the next washing process.
• Adding detergent: The detergent mixes with the water when the door opens during the washing phase, creating a sanitizing solution. This operation occurs automatically, following the timer or preset program.
• Washing dishes: The detergent solution is transported through the spray arms which, thanks to the pumping pressure, rotate and distribute the water with enough force to reach all the dishes.
• Discharge of dirty water through a dedicated pump: Once the washing is completed, the dirty water is discharged through a special pump.
• Rinsing dishes: Previously stored and heated water goes through a process similar to washing, but this time without the addition of detergent. This ensures the complete removal of any dirt residues and traces of detergent still present on the dishes.
• Draining the second water cycle: Finally, the water used for rinsing is drained, completing the wash cycle.

How much does a commercial dishwasher consume?

The energy and water consumption of a commercial dishwasher varies depending on the specific model, the settings selected and the energy efficiency of the device. However, in general, commercial dishwashers are designed to be more energy and water efficient than their domestic counterparts.

Commercial dishwashers often heat water to high temperatures, increasing energy consumption, but many are equipped with heat recovery systems that reduce overall costs. Newer models are rated for energy efficiency, similar to labels for home appliances, and choosing a well-rated model can help reduce energy consumption.

Water consumption varies between models, but industrial dishwashers are generally more water efficient than domestic ones. They use advanced filtration systems and efficient rinse cycles to reduce the amount of water needed. Customizable wash options allow you to tailor cycles to your specific needs, helping to reduce energy and water consumption.

For detailed information on the energy and water consumption of a specific model, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer’s specifications and check the energy labels, if available. Correct use and regular maintenance can further reduce the operating costs and environmental impact of commercial dishwashers.

Which detergents to use in commercial dishwashers?

For commercial dishwashers, it is essential to use specific detergents designed for these devices. Liquid cleaners are common, easy to dose and mix with the water in the tank. The powder detergents, dosed directly into the dispenser, are effective against stubborn dirt.

Pre-measured capsules or tablets are convenient and ensure the right amount of detergent. For those who want to avoid chlorine, there are detergents labeled “chlorine-free”, ideal for sensitive dishes. Carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions and adjusting the amount of detergent based on your needs and dishwasher settings is essential.

Commercial dishwashers: how to choose them?

Choosing the commercial dishwasher best suited to your needs requires careful evaluation of various factors.

Firstly, it is essential to consider the size of the available space, opting for a model that fits the layout of the commercial kitchen.
The capacity of the dishwasher is a crucial aspect; therefore, it is essential to evaluate the amount of dishes and utensils that need daily cleaning to ensure efficient operation.

The loading flexibility, offered by models with adjustable baskets or washing tunnels, can facilitate the organization of the items to be washed.
Power and energy efficiency are elements that should not be overlooked, considering the balance and environmental impact.
Furthermore, the presence of additional features, such as specific washing programs or advanced drying systems, can influence the choice based on the specific needs of the kitchen.

Finally, consulting reviews and ratings from other industry professionals can provide valuable insights into the performance and reliability of the chosen model. In summary, a thoughtful decision, based on size, capacity, efficiency and specific characteristics, will guarantee the purchase of a professional dishwasher capable of best satisfying the operational needs of the kitchen.
