When it comes to food service, food safety is job one. And there’s one piece of equipment that should always work overtime to help sanitize the serveware and utensils we use to enjoy our food at restaurants, hotels and resorts — the industrial dishwasher.

Industrial dishwashers may seem like they function similarly to those found in our homes. But, their volume capacity demands more water, more energy and often more power to run efficiently. And high-temperature commercial dishwashers use superheated water to wash, which eliminates the need for the additional step of sanitizing with chemicals.

These machines must provide safe, reliable operation in the high-vibration, high-heat and high-moisture environments. When they are well-designed, they also save energy while reducing costs for water, chemicals and labor for foodservice and retail operations.

When a leading industrial dishwasher manufacturer approached us, one of its innovative models was not only failing to operate properly, it was giving the manufacturer indigestion due to expensive warranty claims.

• Snap- fit assembly – fast, tool-free assembly into 0.500” (12.7mm) panel hole
• Hi-hat lens – transparent diffused lens provides consistent illumination
• Wire leads terminal – a cost-effective and secure solution for keeping the PMI in place and eliminating potentially dangerous arcing due to loose connections
• Amber LED – communicates machine status in a reliable, energy-efficient LED with a longer life than the neon indicator used in the existing product design
