Conveyor Dishwashers

Conveyor dishwashers are high-capacity commercial dishwashing machines designed to handle the rigorous cleaning needs of large-scale foodservice operations. Commonly found in hospitals, hotels, universities, and institutional kitchens, these machines are built for efficiency, speed, and volume. As their name suggests, conveyor dishwashers use a moving conveyor belt or rack system to transport dishes through different washing, rinsing, and sanitizing stages automatically.

There are two main types of conveyor dishwashers: rack conveyor and flight-type. Rack conveyor dishwashers require dishes to be placed in racks that move through the machine on a conveyor system. These are ideal for medium to large kitchens with consistent but manageable dish loads. Flight-type models, on the other hand, are built for extremely high volumes and allow for direct placement of dishware onto a moving belt without racks. This type is best suited for operations that run dishwashing cycles continuously throughout the day.

Key features of conveyor dishwashers often include high-temperature sanitization, energy-saving wash cycles, multiple wash tanks, and automatic detergent and rinse aid dispensers. Some models are equipped with heat recovery systems or built-in booster heaters, which help reduce energy usage while maintaining sanitation standards. Modern conveyor dishwashers also tend to feature user-friendly digital controls, making them easier to operate and monitor during peak service hours.

When choosing a conveyor dishwasher, consider factors such as throughput capacity (measured in racks per hour), utility connections, space requirements, and energy efficiency ratings. For long-term cost savings, models certified by ENERGY STAR may offer reduced water and electricity consumption. Conveyor dishwashers are an investment in workflow efficiency and food safety, significantly reducing manual labor while ensuring consistent, sanitary results.
