What Factors Should I Consider When Buying My New Commercial Dishwasher?


Posted March 30, 2017 by Easicook

Here are a few considerations for you to make before making that big purchase!

 
Buying a Commercial Dishwasher is a [b]big[/b] decision, so how do you make sure that you've got the right one? What are the key aspects that you should look for when purchasing?

Commercial Dishwashers are a complicated purchase - there are hundreds of brands and unless you really delve into the details it is difficult to work out which machines provide the best value for money. Here are a few things to consider to help you make that big decision:

[b]Basket Size and Capacity[/b]

This is a vital component of Commercial Dishwasher purchase - you will want to start by monitoring how many Plates per Hour you use at peak times, as this is vital for judging the Basket Size and Plate Capacity that you need.
Most Dishwasher Specifications include their Plate Capacity and Wash Cycle Time, and you can very easily work out the Plates per Hour from this information:

Plate Capacity x Wash Cycle Time = Plates per Hour

Standard baskets generally range between 400x400mm (9 Plate Capacity) and 500x500mm (18 Plate Capacity).

Most machines have a fixed Wash Cycle of between 1 to 3 minutes, although some machines (Such as the Teikos TS601 and the Classeq DUO Range) have variable Wash Cycles, which can prove very useful.

[b]Positioning and Dimensions[/b]

Check that your Dishwasher is positioned in a way that is conducive to a quick loading/unloading time - you can save time and money by getting this right.
You also need to check the Dimensions of your Commercial Dishwasher to make sure that it will fit where you want it - this seems fairly obviously but it is such a key aspect that it's necessary to mention.

[b]Noise Levels[/b]

Commercial Dishwashers are loud - and (generally) the larger they are, the louder they get! If noise levels are an issue however, you can minimise this problem by purchasing a machine that is double skinned, allowing for quieter operation and reduced heat loss.
