IWM - Industrial Dish Washing Machine

• Large-scale catering operations, such as hotels, hospitals, and university canteens.
• Food processing plants requiring high-volume washing of trays, containers, and utensils.
• Industrial bakeries for cleaning baking sheets and mixing bowls.
• Pharmaceutical facilities for sanitising non-critical production equipment.
• Contract catering and event management companies for rapid turnaround of dishware.

Typical capacity

Units in this class typically process between 500 and 2,000 plates per hour, or equivalent volumes of trays and utensils.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power ratings ranging from 10kW to 30kW depending on size and features.

Water consumption

Typically uses between 2 and 4 litres of fresh water per rack, often featuring rinse aid and detergent dosing systems.

Footprint

Industrial dishwashers vary significantly in size; conveyor models can be several metres long, while hood-type units are more compact, typically around 700mm x 800mm.

Construction material

Almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304) for hygiene, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Wash cycles

Typically offers multiple wash cycles, ranging from short rinse cycles to intensive heavy-duty washes, often with adjustable temperatures.
