Choosing the right catering dishwasher
Choosing the right catering dishwasher
In the home environment, choosing the most suitable domestic appliances is rather easy. You simply look for a machine that can do the job at a price that you can afford. When it comes to the commercial sector, however, there are a number of important issues which need to be taken into consideration.
Find a catering dishwasher that ticks every box
The most appropriate catering dishwasher for your business will have to be the right size, of course, but it will also need to operate at wash speeds that suit your requirements. It may, depending on the nature of your business, have to comply with exceptionally high standards of hygiene, and there will also be a need to operate at an affordable cost.
There are a number of different commercial environments which require the services of a catering dishwasher, and each of them has their own individual needs. They include:
- Care homes
- Hospitals
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Veterinary practices
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- Health clubs
Why choose a Miele?
Many experts, ourselves included, recommend the lease or purchase of a Miele catering dishwasher. These highly advanced appliances offer a range of wash programmes, exceptional build quality, low running costs and state of the art technological innovations. There are several models on the market, including the speedy PG8055 and the versatile PG8083 SCVi XXL.
What else might you need?
In some workplace locations, other vital additions may be required. They include a drain pump if a gravity drain isn’t appropriate, and a break tank to comply with WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme). There may also be a need for a rinse booster pump and perhaps even a water softener. As always, a chat with the experts will provide the necessary information.
Which type of catering dishwasher is best for you?
You will also need to think about the type of catering dishwasher which will best serve your needs. High volumes of glassware and expensive cutlery will require an appliance that provides a perfect finish, the Miele Brilliant machine is designed specifically for these needs.
Some hygiene-sensitive establishments will need a specialist machine and Miele have built the Hygiene model for this very purpose. This machine carries out a final rinse temperature of up to 85 degrees to ensure thorough disinfection.
There will also be some environments in which speedy wash programmes are a must-have. For example restaurants that require a large throughput in order to keep up with busy periods Miele designed the Speed and Speed Plus which can have dishes beautifully clean in as little as 5 minutes.
