This offer ends in:
The EMP500 processes up to 540 plates per hour through 500mm baskets in three timed cycles. It operates in restaurants, hotels, bars, and catering facilities where glassware, crockery, and utensils require rapid turnover during service. Built-in drain, detergent, and rinse aid pumps eliminate manual dosing and handle below-grade drainage.
Commercial Application
The unit fits under standard counters in tight wash-up areas. It completes a full wash and rinse cycle in 90 to 180 seconds depending on soil level. Operators load baskets continuously during peak service while the machine handles chemical dosing and waste evacuation automatically.
During lunch or dinner service the 540 plates per hour capacity supports up to 100 covers without backlog. The 320mm clearance accommodates standard dinner plates, pint glasses, and wine stems. Three cycle lengths allow staff to match wash time to crockery type and soil load.
