Common Questions About Hobart Dishwashers
What Hobart dish machines are available?
Hobart commercial dishwashers are available in different sizes and throughput capacities. Some models are best suited for cleaning glassware, low-volume dinnerware, or high-volume pots and pans.
- Undercounter: Hobart undercounter dishwashers are available in high-temp and low-temp options that can wash anywhere from 24 to 34 racks per hour. These models are compact, making them a good choice for installation in small areas such as behind a bar or in an office breakroom.
- Door type: Door-type units can wash medium to high volumes of dishes daily, processing dozens of racks per hour. Options are available with high-heat or chemical sanitizing, and units can be installed in a straight-through or corner area.
- Conveyor: The Hobart conveyor dishwasher is designed for very high-volume, heavy soil-cleaning applications. Suitable for cleaning pots and pans, most models include heavy-duty, clog-resistant wash and rinse arms. Options are available for straight-through or corner setup.
- Glass washer: This type of dishwasher is optimized for cleaning delicate glassware. Designed with a soft start to avoid chipping, these models also eliminate any lingering chemical smell or taste with a unique rinse cycle, ensuring unadulterated beverage flavor.
Should I choose a low-temp or high-temp Hobart dishwasher?
There are benefits and drawbacks to both options. The style of dishwasher that's best for your establishment depends on the type of dishes that'll be washed, as well as any electrical and plumbing restrictions in the building. No matter which style you choose, dishes will be sanitized effectively during the wash cycle.
Hobart dishwashers that use chemical sanitizers aren't as effective at removing greasy residue, such as butter and lipstick smears, from dishes. They also can leave behind a faint chemical odor that some guests don't like. On the other hand, chemical dishwashers don't use as much energy because they don't need to heat the wash water, and they don't release steam into surrounding areas when opened. They also can be cheaper to install.
High-temp units typically require a booster heater, although some models have one built in. They use more energy than units with chemical sanitizing and may require drain water to be tempered with a tempering kit – often sold separately – before it can be drained into municipal pipelines. This kind of dishwasher doesn't leave behind any unpleasant chemical smell or oily smudges and operates without the cost of sanitizing solutions.
