Pass through dishwashers

We stock a comprehensive range of pass through dishwashers, all available for quick delivery. In terms of their speed and the size of the basket, they compare very favourably to front loading dishwashers. For instance, a wash cycle usually takes between 1-3 minutes. Where they differ is in the way that you use them.

Pass through dishwashers are designed to be fitted in-between two areas of dishwasher tabling, the clean and soiled tables. In our experience, most kitchens with pass through dishwashers have an area for stacking and sorting washing up (the soiled or dirty area) and an area for clean washing up to air dry before being put away. In other words, a pass through dishwasher works a bit like a washing up conveyor belt. Dirty washing up is sorted and stacked into the dishwasher basket and treated with a pre-wash spray. Next, the dishwasher basket is slid into the dishwasher and the wash cycle begins. Once finished, the dishwasher basket is slid out the other side and the clean washing up is left to air dry.

As a general rule, we’d recommend pass through dishwashers for busy commercial kitchens where there’s a continuous flow of washing up.

A quick guide to pass through dishwashers

Pass through dishwashers are available with 1, 2 and 3 minute wash cycles.

The basket size is usually 500 x 500 mm.

Because pass through dishwashers are fitted between two areas (soiled and clean) in a kitchen you need to consider the best place to put your machine. If you’d like to talk this over with us, simply call, or one of our specialist engineers would be happy to visit your kitchen and give you more advice.

We’d recommend that the ‘soiled’ washing up area contains, or is close to a sink – as it’ll come in useful for rinsing away excess food etc.

Pass through dishwashers have very powerful pumps so they’re excellent for continuous loads of washing up or heavily soiled crockery.

They also contain powerful heaters to heat the water used in the dishwasher to a high temperature. This means that your clean washing up will air-dry very quickly. Whilst giving you thorough, hygienically clean, sparkling results.

It’s well worth considering a pass through dishwasher if you’re washing up for around 100+ people a day. If not, maybe a front loading dishwasher would be a better option?
