What is the difference between a commercial dishwasher and a regular dishwasher?

Think about the last time you were at a busy restaurant and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. The kitchen was churning out dishes at lightning speed and the waitstaff were whisking them away almost as soon as they hit the table. What was the secret behind this seamless operation? You guessed it, a commercial dishwasher!

See, regular dishwashers just can’t keep up with the demands of a bustling commercial kitchen. They’re great for your home, but when it comes to a restaurant or catering business, you need something with a little more pep in its step. That's why commercial dishwashers are built with speed and efficiency in mind. They can clean and dry dishes in a mere 60-90 seconds, and hold more dishes at once compared to a home dishwasher.

Not only do commercial dishwashers work faster, but they also work smarter. These machines heat up their rinse water to sanitize dishes and utensils, making sure your customers are always eating off of clean and bacteria-free plates. Plus, commercial dishwashers are eco-friendly, as they use less energy compared to regular dishwashers.

So, if you want your restaurant or catering business to run like a well-oiled machine, a commercial dishwasher is the secret ingredient you've been missing!

How do commercial dishwashers work?

Commercial dishwashers are powerful kitchen helpers work their magic to make sure your dishes, glasses, and utensils are spotless in no time.

Think of it like a superhero in your kitchen, using the power of hot water, steam, and detergent to blast away grime and leave your dishes shining bright. It's like a secret recipe for clean dishes - heat up the water, add in the detergent, and let the magic happen. And don't worry about a thing, the machine takes care of the dirty work by draining the soapy water and refilling it with fresh water for a final rinse.

Do industrial dishwashers last a long time?

Wondering how long your trusty industrial dishwasher will stick around for? Great news! These workhorses of the commercial kitchen are built to last! They'll keep chugging away for years, providing you with sparkling clean dishes day after day. No need to worry about repairs and breakdowns, your investment in an industrial dishwasher will definitely pay off in the long run.

Just remember, a little TLC goes a long way! Regular maintenance is key to keep your dishwasher running smoothly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in the product manual and you'll have a reliable, long-lasting companion in the kitchen.

What about water quality?

The secret to a long-lasting commercial dishwasher is all about the water it uses. That's right, water hardness and pressure play a big role in keeping your dishwasher in tip-top shape.

When it comes to water hardness, it's important to know the mineral content of your water. In cities, it's usually not a big issue, but in rural areas or those that use bore water, the mineral content can be higher. This extra mineral content can put extra wear on your dishwasher components and shorten its lifespan unless you use the right chemicals. So, it's always a good idea to get your water hardness tested before making a purchase.

Water pressure is also important to keep in mind. Your dishwasher needs enough water pressure to function properly. If the water pressure is too low, the jets and pumps may not work correctly. If you're putting a dishwasher on a higher floor, make sure to get your water pressure tested or choose a dishwasher with a rinse pump like the Hobart EcomaxPlus. Trust us, this will save you from any headaches down the line!

Steam Extraction

Steam extraction is a crucial factor to consider when choosing a commercial dishwasher? Every time the dishwasher finishes cleaning, steam will escape from the unit, and it needs to be captured to comply with council regulations. If your dishwasher is rated over 8kW, you'll typically need to install an overhead exhaust canopy.

But, don't worry, you have options! You can opt for a dishwasher with built-in steam extraction, like the Fagor Evo-Concept Pass-Through Dishwasher. This machine has a heat recovery system that collects the steam, condenses it, and even recycles it back into the rinse tank, making it more energy-efficient.

Another option is the Hobart Profi Glass & Dishwasher with Vapostop. This dishwasher has a low profile steam capture vent on the top of the machine, which also recycles the captured steam as water back into the tank.

Sure, these models may not be the cheapest, but they're definitely cheaper than installing a separate canopy. So, save yourself some money and go for a dishwasher with built-in steam extraction!
