Door Type Dish Machines

Jul 27th 2012

Door type dish machines are for facilities that have mid to high volume operation over 75 seats. (i.e. Schools, Health Care, College/Universities, Lodging/Casinos, Restaurants, Government)

Door type machines fit along a wall or inside a corner and hold one rack of dishes at a time. Most are good for washing anything from stemware to grimy pots and pans. When washing full size sheet (bun) pans or large pots (over 40 quarts) you will need a “tall” door type ware washer. Each require a venting/condensate hood over the unit, however, Hobart has introduced a ventless door type machine.

Door type machines depending on the options chosen, can wash 35-65 racks per hour.

Water usage ranges from .74 to over 1 gallon per rack depending on the manufacturer with Hobart always exceeding the industry standard and saving their customers the most money on their utilities.

High temp machines use the rinse water from the previous rinse cycle for the next wash cycle. This saves a lot of water, dish washing time and money on your electric and water bill. High temp machines require fewer chemicals. These machines only require having detergent dispensed into the unit and a rinse aid is optional.

Low temp machines are also referred to fill and dump as each cycle requires fresh water. Because a low temperature machine requires a chemical to sanitize your wares during the rinse cycle this water can not be reused for the next wash. When the cycle finishes the water goes down drain. Over time these can be more expensive to run particularly for customers that pay for their water usage. These machines require both detergent and chemical rinse pumps.

Door type machines require both a clean table and soil table. Soil tables, located on the washer entry side of the machine need a pre-rise sink and pre-rinse faucet.
