Commercial Dishwashers

According to some sources commercial dishwashers were the first versions of the machines which were introduced as soon as the technology was developed. The domestic versions were introduced later. The need for mechanical devices to clean dishes became necessary when there was shortage of manpower after the world war. Moreover, the standard of cleanliness in hospitals, hotels and other public places where large number of people were fed had to be improved due to stringent implementation of rules by the public health authorities. Later it was realized that dishwashers have not only made the cleaning process easier but have also enhanced the overall productivity. Use of dishwashers became more prevalent when the health consciousness spread through out, thanks to the world health organization and other agencies. In the present dishwashers are widely used in cruise ships, airline catering, trains, hospitals, hotels and educational institutions.

Dishwashers in the commercial sectors require special methods and features in conformity with the quantum of work and the quality that is expected in the process. The dishwashing includes rinsing, semi and finish wash cycles. As dishes of different shapes and types are subjected to cleaning multi-dimensional methodologies are to be adopted. Metal, plastic and glass pans are to be cleaned differently in tune with the texture of the items concerned. Intensity of wash will also vary depending on the degree of dirt or crust formed in the vessels. Glass dishwashers and bond machines are specialties required for large establishments. Technologies applied are different for commercial dishwashers from domestic machines. Thick crust, food leftovers, oily remnants are to be extracted and removed using special techniques. Not only pans and vessels but also storage jars irrespective of their sizes can be cleaned in the specially designed machines. Fully automatic machines have features to monitor the process of cleaning.
