Eswood ES160 Rack Conveyor Dishwasher

Eswood ES160 Professional Rack Conveyor Commercial Dishwasher

The Eswood ES160 represents the absolute pinnacle of high-volume, automated ware washing technology, specifically engineered to serve as the high-output cleaning anchor for Australia’s busiest commercial kitchens. Purpose-built to eliminate back-of-house bottlenecks in demanding food service environments, this heavy-duty industrial conveyor dishwasher delivers an exceptional continuous capacity of up to 160 racks per hour (processing approximately 2,880 dinner plates or pieces of tableware every single hour).

Optimised for large hotels, major convention centres, high-turnover RSL clubs, universities, and commercial catering operations, the Eswood ES160 streamlines messy cleanup workflows into an uninterrupted linear assembly line. Featuring an advanced automatic rack drive system and an expansive 440mm vertical chamber clearance, it effortlessly processes oversized main plates, tall beverage racks, heavy mixing trays, and deep gastronome pans, securing unmatched commercial turnaround times during your venue’s most punishing service rushes.

Why the Eswood ES160 is the perfect ware washer

In heavy-duty hospitality and catering sectors, controlling ballooning resource overheads while satisfying strict municipal food safety laws dictates daily operational profitability. The Eswood ES160 solves these baseline pressures directly by pairing a high-velocity 2.2 kW (3 HP) dual-flow wash pump with a highly calibrated rinsing sequence that consumes a modest 300 litres of fresh water per hour of continuous trade. This smart configuration dramatically slashes hot water turnover, ongoing power demand, and chemical consumption without sacrificing the high-pressure mechanical force required to strip away stubborn, baked-on kitchen grease.

Operational monitoring, safety, and temperature verification are built directly at eye level. The top-mounted control panel places analogue switches, conveyor speed controls, and bright digital temperature displays out of harm’s way from moisture splashes. This streamlined layout enables floor managers to complete swift, hassle-free visual verification for rigorous daily HACCP record-keeping. Constructed with a heavy-duty, double-skinned insulated door assembly, the ES160 traps ambient heat emissions inside the wash bay, ensuring a far cooler and quieter environment for kitchen porters.

Versatile Hospitality Industry Use Cases

Large RSL Clubs, Casinos & Hotels: Easily maintain a rolling dinnerware collection line during intense weekend trade shifts to cycle thousands of mains plates and heavy bowls back to the pass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can this rack conveyor dishwasher be reconfigured to plug into a 15-amp single-phase power plug?
A: No. Due to the industrial 30.4 kW total electrical load required to heat the 110-litre wash tank and rapid-recovery rinse booster simultaneously, the ES160 requires a hardwired 3 Phase 415V electrical supply line connection.

Q: Does this conveyor model include a built-in drain pump for handling elevated plumbing traps?
A: No. The ES160 features a high-volume 2” BSP gravity-drain system designed to empty rapidly into floor wastes or low-profile floor troughs. If your dishwashing layout features an elevated wall waste trap, a specialized external pump trap must be integrated.

Q: How does the automatic eco-start function help save water and power during slow trade hours?
A: The machine is built with smart mechanical micro-switches along the conveyor track. If no rack is passing through a specific zone, the wash and rinse pumps automatically pause, ensuring utilities are consumed only when dinnerware is inside.

Q: What direction does the conveyor drive flow? Left-to-right or right-to-left?
A: The Eswood ES160 is built to order based on your kitchen’s floor layout. It can be manufactured as either a Left-to-Right operational model or a Right-to-Left operational model. This parameter must be specified prior to factory assembly.

Q: What type of incoming water supply feed configuration does this unit need?
A: It requires an incoming hot water line supply calibrated between 50°C and 65°C with a constant pressure rating between 2 and 4 bar (28-56 psi) to guarantee rapid cycle recovery speeds and complete sanitisation.
