Rack-type dishwashers are high-performance, warewashing equipment designed to manage extremely high capacities in commercial kitchens while providing consistently clean results.
Rack conveyor dishwashers are specifically engineered to process high volumes of dishes, crockery, glasses and utensils making them a valuable asset in any high-demand kitchen setting.
Industry sectors
Rack conveyors are found in kitchens where there are consistent high volumes of crockery, pots, pans and glasses. They are typically found in the following businesses, although can be used in any environment that require an increased warewashing capacity.
• Food production
• Commercial catering companies
• Hospitals
• Large hotels
• Event venues
• Other kitchens with very high volumes
How do they compare to undercounter and passthrough models?
Passthrough dishwashers are larger than undercounter dishwashers, but rack conveyors offer even greater capacity. The following comparison can help you to decide whether a rack conveyor is a worthwhile investment for your kitchen.
| Dishwasher type | Capacity | Industry sectors | Staff training |
| Undercounter | Low | Cafes, B&Bs and bars | Low |
| Passthrough | Medium to high | Restaurants, schools and hotels | Moderate |
| Rack conveyor | High to very high | Catering companies, event venues and hospitals | Moderate |
Rack conveyor dishwashers can save significant amounts of time and staff resource compared to using multiple smaller dishwashers providing your kitchen is busy enough to justify the investment.
Top performance for high volume environments
These specialist dishwashers are designed for high-capacity catering sites and venues. For example, at DC Products, our rack conveyors can wash up to 8860 plates and up to 284 racks per hour.
There are different models and sizes available to meet your varying demands, specific requirements and kitchen dimensions.
When should you consider upgrading?
If your current passthrough machines are not sufficiently coping with demand at peak times, then a rack conveyor could be the best option for your kitchen.
Alternatively, it could be more efficient and affordable to consolidate multiple dishwashers with a single rack conveyor unit in very busy kitchens. This would result in lower utility costs, a more efficient operation and an effective way to save space.
