Catering dishwashers

Professional dishwashers for the hospitality industry and at home

Professional dishwashers are a vital link in the kitchen of any catering business, where speed, efficiency and hygiene are crucial. From compact under-counter models ideal for smaller kitchens and bars to large-scale pass-through machines designed for the highest dishwashing volumes, the right system can significantly improve workflow and ensure gleaming clean results with every use.

How do you use a catering dishwasher?

Getting the most out of a catering dishwasher requires attention to detail and knowledge of the machine functions. The first step is to choose the most appropriate wash program. This depends on the type of dishes and degree of soiling. Careful placement of items within the machine plays an important role in achieving the best cleaning results. Plates, glasses, and cutlery should be organized so that water and detergent can flow freely between items, without obstructions.

Detergent dosing must be accurate, appropriate to the size of the load and the program selected. Too much or too little can lead to waste or inadequate cleaning results, respectively. In addition, it is essential to monitor water quality; water hardness can affect cleaning efficiency and machine life. Adjusting temperature settings according to cleaning needs ensures optimal removal of grease and bacteria without damage to dishes.

It is also important to check and clean the filters before and after each use and inspect the spray arms for blockages. A regular maintenance check helps detect problems early and ensures continuous, efficient operation of the machine. By following these steps, you can not only extend the life of your catering dishwasher, but also guarantee consistently clean and hygienic dishes for your customers.

Tips for choosing a catering dishwasher

Selecting the right hospitality dishwasher for your business requires careful consideration of several factors. First, determine the capacity you need based on the size of your kitchen and the average number of customers you serve. This will ensure that your dishwasher can handle daily demand without delays or inefficiencies.

Energy efficiency is another key factor; look for machines that use a minimal amount of water and energy to both reduce operating costs and minimize environmental impact. Wash cycle speed also plays an important role, especially during peak times when speed is essential to meet demand.

In addition, additional features such as automatic detergent dosing, which ensures consistent wash quality and cost savings on detergents, and built-in water softeners, which reduce scale build-up and extend machine life, can contribute significantly to operational efficiency and ease of use.

Finally, consider the total cost, including purchase price, maintenance and repairs, to ensure that your investment will add long-term value to your business. Carefully evaluating these factors will help you choose a dishwasher that not only meets your current needs, but is also a sustainable investment for your business.

Hospitality dishwasher cleaning

A thorough cleaning routine for your catering dishwasher is important to both maintain hygienic standards and optimize the life of the machine. Start with daily tasks: thoroughly remove and clean the filters and spray arms to eliminate food particles and other obstructions that can cause clogs. Descale weekly to prevent the build-up of scale, especially in hard water areas, as this can significantly reduce the efficiency of the machine. Regularly perform a thorough inspection and cleaning of the drain systems, door rubbers, and wash arms to ensure they are free of dirt and grease, which can affect performance and cause leaks. Also note any wear and tear on parts that may affect functionality and replace as necessary. Adhering to the manufacturer's prescribed cleaning and maintenance instructions not only ensures that the dishwasher functions efficiently and reliably, but also helps to optimize energy consumption and reduce overall operating costs. A properly maintained dishwasher is an indispensable part of any catering business, essential for delivering clean and hygienic dishes, time after time.
