How to choose a catering dishwasher?

Owners of restaurants and other establishments often struggle with how to choose a catering dishwasher. Traditional sinks and manual washing will, in most cases, fail to keep up with the pace of work. This creates downtime and unwashed dishes, while failing to meet strict sanitary standards. In addition, the consumption of water, electricity and detergents is unnecessarily high, putting a strain on budgets and the environment.

Professional catering dishwashers tailored to the scale and specifics of the establishment allow you to optimise the cleaning process. When choosing one, it is worth paying attention to:

  • the type of dishwasher - there are many varieties available, including hood dishwashers, tunnel dishwashers, glass dishwashers, pot dishwashers; the most popular are dishwasher-extractors, which not only clean but also disinfect dishes with the help of high temperatures;
  • capacity (number of baskets/hour) - it is worth calculating how many baskets of dishes a dishwasher should clean per hour to meet demand at peak occupancy;
  • utility consumption (water, energy, detergent) - it is best to choose a low-consumption model with a heat recovery system or eco function to reduce maintenance costs;
  • washing programmes - the most versatile are models with modes designed to clean different dishes, depending on the degree of soiling (e.g. express, intensive, delicate, glass);
  • ergonomics and safety - the height, width of the loading opening, ease of loading/unloading, locking and filtration systems, among others, are important;
  • materials and durability - the stainless steel housing and chamber will resist corrosion and damage;
  • sanitary and hygiene certifications - the equipment should comply with HACCP, NSF standards, etc;
  • service and warranty - it is very important to check the availability of spare parts, as well as the service response time.

For more advice, see our guide: "How to choose a dishwasher?".

Which one should you go for?

Without a doubt, the best choice will be professional equipment, dedicated to industrial applications. Specialised catering equipment is designed with intensive use in mind. This means they are durable, reliable and easy to operate and service. On top of this, they are as efficient as possible with the lowest possible consumption of water, electricity and detergents.

The most important thing is that the catering dishwasher chosen meets the requirements of the establishment. A dishwasher that is too small will reduce the availability of clean dishes, while one that is too large will generate excessive maintenance costs. Calculating the demand can be difficult, so it is advisable to use the support of experienced advisors who can help make the appropriate calculations and propose the optimal solution.

In restaurants, bars, canteens and other places where it is necessary to quickly and hygienically wash a large number of dishes (even larger ones), the "STRONG PRO EVO" | PREMIUM line of hooded dishwashers will be ideal. The equipment washes and steams loads at a high temperature in no time (including dishes up to 410 mm in height). It has various wash cycles and an intuitive touch panel for easy use.

However, a great example of a reliable, compact dishwasher dedicated to professional catering is the "STRONG PRO EVO" 500 + NORMAL Package | 400V Catering Dishwasher. It supports 500 x 500mm baskets (three types are included), washing dishes up to 320mm high. It has four washing programmes (60, 90, 120, 180 s.), during which it uses relatively little water (only 2.5l/cycle). On top of this, it effectively washes HACCP-compliant dishes and has automatic detergent dispensers and an integrated drain pump.

An interesting option is the extended version, the "STRONG PRO EVO" 500 + MEGA PLUS Package | 400V Catering Dishwasher. It is equipped with additional accessories and functions, including an increased number of baskets, additional filters and a water softener.
