Pass-through dishwashers
Pass-through dishwashers are high-capacity machines designed for busy commercial kitchens where volume and speed matter. Dishes, glasses and crockery pass through a central chamber on a conveyor belt or manual tray system, emerging clean and ready to use in minutes.
These machines suit hotels, restaurants, gastropubs, care facilities and large cafés where manual washing or undercounter models cannot keep pace with demand. Capacity ranges from 30 to 40 baskets per hour depending on model and cycle time.
Pass-through dishwashers are conveyor or tunnel units that allow dirty ware to enter one side and exit cleaned on the other, without operator intervention between stations. Suited to high-volume kitchens, hotels and centralised wash operations. Output ranges 30–40 baskets/hour; power requirements 7.5–14.8 kW.
When selecting a pass-through dishwasher, consider your throughput requirement (baskets per hour), available space and drainage setup. Most models come with digital controls for cycle selection and temperature management. Water and energy consumption varies by capacity and heating method—some include built-in tank heaters, others require connection to an external boiler.
Installation requires adequate 3-phase power, mains water supply and drain access. Models with drain pumps offer greater flexibility if gravity drainage is not possible. Compare wash-cycle times, rinse options (hot or cold) and warranty terms to match your kitchen workflow.
