Supplies for Commercial Dishwashers

Find supplies for commercial dishwashers

Supplies for commercial dishwashers include equipment that keeps your dishes, flatware, pots, pans and utensils safe and organized before, during and after they are washed. Dishwasher racks allow servers, bussers and cooks to quickly prepare the dishes for washing. These racks also protect glassware from breaking if an object falls on or slides into the rack during the chaos that often accompanies a busy kitchen.

Other supplies for commercial dishwashers provide storage for dishes. Commercial dishwashers typically don't provide space to store soiled and clean dishes immediately prior to and following the wash cycle. Sanitizing chemicals are a must-have for low-temperature dishwashers, and anti-foaming additives can eliminate the need for multiple rinses. When purchasing supplies for commercial dishwashers, consider the following:

1. Organize soiled dishes with commercial dishwasher racks.

2. Order sanitizing chemicals for use in low-temperature industrial dishwashers.

3. Lower energy costs with pre-rinse spray valves.

4. Store soiled and clean dishes on dish tables.

 

Order racks for use in an industrial dishwasher

Racks keep dishes, pots, pans and utensils safe and organized during the wash and rinse cycles in restaurant dishwashers. Different types of commercial dishwasher racks include flatware racks, cup racks, glass racks and peg racks. Racks are especially useful when using a conveyor-style commercial dishwasher. Industrial dishwasher specifications typically include how many racks the particular model can wash in one cycle.
Try: Find commercial dishwasher racks at Citisco Food Service Equipment. These racks are under warranty and available for purchase online. Purchase a variety of commercial dishwasher racks, including peg racks at Restaurant Equipment World. The company also offers glass racks, flatware racks and cup racks in several sizes.

Purchase chemicals for commercial dishwashers

Commercial grade dishwashers are either high-temperature machines or low-temperature machines. High-temp machines have a heat booster that raises the rinse cycle's temperature to 180 degrees to sanitize the dishes. Low-temperature machines use sanitizing chemicals. Other types of commercial dishwashing chemicals include additives that reduce foaming and pre-soaking liquids that break up food.
Try: Commercial Dishwasher offers a variety of chemicals for both low-temperature and high-temperature dishwashers. Read each product's description to know if it's for use in a low-temp or high-temp machine. Order sanitizers for food service dishwashers from Instawares.

Find pre-rinse spray valves for industrial dishwashers

Pre-rinse spray valves are used with pre-rinse hoses to spray off dishes before placing them in a commercial dishwasher. Pre-rinse spray valves, particularly low-flow pre-rinse spray valves, are energy-efficient commercial dishwashing equipment because they help ensure dishes need washed only once.
Try: To view a list of low-flow pre-rinse spray valves, visit the Food Service Technology Center. The website also features a table with a cost-savings analysis. To purchase a pre-rinse spray valve, visit The WEBstauraunt Store. You can use this low-flow pre-rinse valve with most commercial pre-rinse hoses.

Buy dish tables for use with commercial dishwashers

Dish tables provide space to store dishes that are either waiting to be washed or ready to be used. Dish tables are typically stainless steel and designed to hold dishwasher racks. Some dish tables feature a sink for pre-rinsing dishes. These tables are available a wide variety of sizes to fit the space availability in most kitchens.
Try: Browse an inventory of stainless steel dish tables at CPAPC Restaurant Design & Supply. The sizes range from two feet to eight feet long. Find dish tables designed specifically for clean dishes at All Refrigeration Equipment.

 

• When purchasing industrial dishwashing supplies, keep the size of your kitchen in mind. It's helpful to have multiple dishwasher racks on hand, but they can quickly become a burden if you don't have storage space.
