In the sphere of public catering it is difficult to do without a professional dishwasher. For business, there are several types of dishwashers that can meet the needs of modern institutions. One such PMM is a dishwasher of a conveyor type. Often it is compared to a tunnel machine, but there are some differences in their design and operating principle. We offer to consider the features of this type of machines and familiarize yourself with the model range that is popular in Russia.
Conveyor Dishwasher: Features
The conveyor dishwasher from the Soviet era practically did not change its principle of operation: it provides a continuous washing process. Choosing a car for your cafe or restaurant, you can be sure that in a short period of time it will wash up a mountain of dishes and other kitchen utensils. In such a PMM, the dishes enter the conveyor belt, pulling the plates at once into several compartments: for washing, rinsing and drying (if provided in the design).
- Washing. At this stage, the dishes are washed away with the remnants of hot water at 60 degrees. Water is sprayed onto the plates under strong pressure by special nozzles located on all sides of the washing hopper. Today's models, in contrast to Soviet counterparts, are equipped with injectors that feed the flow of water in the same direction as the dishes in the conveyor. This effect prolongs the contact of the dishes with the water jet.
- Rinsing. In this compartment there is a temperature of 90 degrees - well-heated water provides complete disinfection of cutlery and plates, destroying up to 90% of harmful microorganisms.
Important! After such washing and rinsing, the dishes are 100% compliant with the declared sanitary norms, which can not be achieved manually.
During rinsing, special rinse aid is used to speed up the drying process, prevent the appearance of streaks and stains. The rinsing step can be divided into several cycles or be one. With a simple rinse, the treatment takes place once, at a difficult time - the dishes are first rinsed with hot water for rinsing detergent, then it is processed by a rinse agent dissolved in cold water, and then - crystal-clear hot water.
Some models of conveyor PMM have an additional hopper for preliminary rinsing. In particularly "cool" machines there are steam condensers that catch steam, which forms when washing with water of different temperatures.
Types, advantages and disadvantages of conveyor machines
There are two types of dishwashers working on the conveyor principle:
- Tape.In them, baskets fall on a tape equipped with "fingers". In this case, you need two operators, one of which will load the dishes, the second - collect it. These machines are often installed in large canteens, sanatoriums and boarding houses - where there are many dishes of the same shape. Their difference is a straight form and large dimensions.
- Cassette.The plates are rastasovyvayutsya on the cassettes, after which they are loaded into the PMM. These are more compact machines that require only one operator. But there are two drawbacks: the low intensity of washing, which is prevented by cassettes, and the rapid wear of the dish baskets.
Important! Cassette type conveyor machines are popular in restaurants or canteens with a wide variety of dishes.
Regardless of the type of PMM, its design provides trays for cutlery and other utensils.
Performance is the main advantage of this technique. And the main disadvantages of conveyor machines are:
- costly - require a lot of water and electricity;
- connected to a three-phase network of 380 V, therefore, require the conversion of the electrical network in the room.
