How to choose a commercial dishwasher for your
restaurant
Commercial dishwashers are essential for any
commercial kitchen. They ensure that your food
business can use glassware and dishware when it
needs them, not to mention that they aid you
fulfil the sanitation rules in your area.
Choosing the best commercial dishwasher for a
commercial kitchen is significantly different
from choosing one for your house. Here are some
considerations you need to make when buying a
commercial dishwasher. Temperature You have 2
sanitizing choices for a commercial dishwashing
machine high temperature and low temperature.
Both kinds use the common detergent and rinsing
chemicals the only difference would in the way
they sanitize dishes. A high temp dishwasher
sanitizes the dishes with heat. It cleans the
dishware at 150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, though
the rinsing cycle goes up to 180 degrees. This
type of dishwasher uses a condensate hood due to
the intense heat. A low temp machine disinfects
the dishes with chemical disinfecting agents
instead. Both wash and rinse cycles only go
between 120- and 140-degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Size
and Capacity

If there's not much cleaning demand, an under
bench commercial dishwasher may be sufficient.
It's a small commercial dishwasher that's very
much similar to residential dishwashers it has a
door at the front and you can fit it under your
kitchen counter, as the name implies. It should
be able to wash and clean up to 35 racks per
hour. It is enough for small cafes, day-care
centers, small nursing homes, and such, but in a
large commercial kitchen, you'll want more than
an under counter dishwasher. Pass-through
dishwashers can wash around 1,000 dishes per
hour. They're larger than the previous one.
You'll need to make sure that your kitchen has
the space for it, a stacking area, a cooling and
drying area, and a pre-rinse sink with a jet
tap. If you need an even bigger dishwasher,
conveyor dishwashers are the biggest ones
available. It uses a conveyor belt to convey the
racks of dishware to the washer. They can wash
between 350 to 1,000 racks per day, which is
ideal for cafeterias and restaurants. Read More

for your commercial kitchen 3. Energy
Efficiency All dishwashers use 2 resources
energy and water. Of course, high-capacity and
high-volume dishwashers will use more, but you
don't have to accept that as is. There are
commercial dishwashers that are built keeping
energy efficiency in mind. There's nothing wrong
with trying to save while still ensuring that the
machine keeps up with the cleaning demands. These
models usually have low-energy settings that you
can use whenever appropriate. They also use less
energy when idling. Some models also have
low-water usage, but rest assured that they still
get the job done. These are some of the factors
that you should consider while buying a
commercial dishwasher for your food business to
ensure you invest in the right one.
