Pass Through Dishwashers

Posted by: Neil Willis

---

Commercial Pass-through dishwashers are also known as hood style and upright dishwashers. Typically they are floor mounted and located with stainless steel entry and exit or outlet benches either side in the dishwashing area of your kitchen. The dishwasher entry bench should have a sink located approximately 250mm outside the dishwasher. It is also a good idea to consider the use of a pre-rinse arm at this sink.

The speed of commercial units also requires a higher power input so make sure that you have the additional power available for use in your kitchen.

Things to look for 

When buying or replacing a pass through dishwasher there are several factors to consider. Better model dishwashers will save you money and help save the environment as well.

Water Consumption – gone are the days when dishwashers use 7 or more litres per wash cycle. These days you should expect your dishwasher to use between 2.5 to 4.0 litres per cycle, reducing the demand on your hot water service. Make sure that you buy a re-circulating style dishwasher, every manufacturer has one available.

Detergent – the less water the dishwasher uses the less the requirement for detergents, also saving you money.

Wash Pump Capacity – The greater the wash pump capacity the greater the ability to wash and clean your dishes.

Power Requirements – generally upright dishwashers require a 3 phase power supply, although most manufacturers also have a model available that will operate on single phase power, usually 25 amps. An electrician will be required to upgrade the power supply and to do the connection.

Hot Water Supply – pass through dishwashers come with a flexible pipe to attach to your hot water supply. Generally these pipes are about 1 metre in length.

Drainage – Careful consideration should be given to the plumbing requirement of your premises. Upright dishwashers have a gravity or overflow drain style operation.

Sanitising – Currently dishwashers are required to have a low temperature cutout switch. Until the water has reached the required temperature for the rinse cycle the dishwasher will continue to wash. Some people, rather than employing an electrician, simply cut off the existing 15 amp plug and replace it with a new 10 amp plug. If you do this your dishwasher will never worked properly and you run the risk of voiding your warranty.

Dimensions – pass through dishwashers come in three basic sizes, small, medium and large. These days however, there are a number of imported European dishwashers on the Australian market and their sizing differs from the normal. If you are establishing a new premises this is not a problem, but if you are replacing your existing dishwasher and the sizing is different then you may be up for the cost of alterations to your stainless steel benchwork.
