About this block
L-shaped dishwashing line with conveyor dishwasher, drawn in plan, front and side elevation. It measures 19' 9" wide, 9' 3" deep and 6' 3" high (6.01 m × 2.81 m × 1.91 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Commercial kitchen and buffets library: 96 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Cafeterias, hospital and school kitchens and hotel banquet back-of-house, where trays come back from the dining room in volume. The L-shaped line runs from the soiled landing through the conveyor dishwasher to the clean end, and the corner turns the flow. Place it in the dish-return zone of a ¼ in = 1 ft (1:50) kitchen plan.
Clearances to leave
Allow 48 in (120 cm) in front of the soiled and clean counters for carts to pass, and keep the machine 24 in (60 cm) clear of the back wall for service; the 19 ft 9 in × 9 ft 3 in (602 × 281 cm) footprint fills a room at least 23 ft 7 in × 13 ft 1 in (720 × 400 cm), and it needs its own exhaust hood.
Pairs with
Set Tray conveyor belt with surrounding mobile carts in front of its soiled end to bring trays in, and park Mobile rack trolley pushed by kitchen worker at the clean end. Slotted floor drain grating in two sections along the front keeps the floor dry.
