Conveyor type dishwashers

Tunnel (conveyor) dishwashers for foodservice establishments

Tunnel conveyor dishwashers are the most productive type of professional dishwashing equipment. They are designed for foodservice establishments with very high workloads and are intended for almost continuous automatic operation with minimal staff involvement.

Professional dishwashing machines

The following types of professional dishwashers are used in foodservice establishments:

• Front-loading — characterized by a front-loading system;

• Glasswashers — designed for washing glasses and small items;

• Hood-type — used in venues with high customer turnover, where the rack is covered by a lifting hood;

• Tunnel-type — represent automated dishwashing systems;

• Pot washers — intended for washing pots, pans, and large kitchenware.

When a tunnel dishwasher is the best choice

Tunnel dishwashers are an optimal solution for canteens, food production areas, large restaurants, and organized catering facilities where automated washing of large volumes of tableware is required. They are used when it is necessary to process:

• from 1470 to 3100 plates per hour;

• large volumes of dishes during peak load periods;

• dishes in a continuous feed mode without stopping the process.

The conveyor system ensures sequential completion of cleaning, washing, and rinsing stages within a single cycle as dishes pass through the active zone of the machine.

Key features and advantages of tunnel dishwashers

• continuous feeding of plates and racks into the washing zone;

• automatic movement of dishes along the conveyor;

• cyclic washing with cleaning, washing, and rinsing in a single pass;

• precise automation settings to reduce water consumption;

• dosing of detergents;

• minimal staff involvement — loading, starting, and stopping the machine;

• construction from stainless steel, resistant to moisture and intensive use.

Tunnel dishwashers require connection to the water supply, drainage system, and a three-phase 400 V power supply. When selecting equipment, it is important to calculate the required capacity in advance, taking into account average and peak loads, as excessive capacity does not allow efficient use of the advantages of the conveyor system.
