Air chamber, complete LF 3060071

An air chamber in a professional dishwasher or glasswasher controls the final drying phase by directing a steady flow of warm air over the washed items. As the wash cycle ends, the chamber captures residual heat from the machine and channels it through a series of ducts, creating a consistent airflow that evaporates moisture without scorching or spotting. This method prevents water droplets from settling back onto plates, glasses or cutlery, leaving them ready for immediate use or storage. The process relies on the natural rise of warm air and the geometry of the chamber to maintain even distribution, so every item dries at the same rate regardless of its position in the rack.

The operator loads the dishwasher or glasswasher as usual, selecting the appropriate programme for the load. Once the wash and rinse cycles complete, the machine automatically switches to the drying phase, during which the air chamber activates. Warm air circulates for a set duration, after which the machine signals that the load is dry and ready to be unloaded. No additional settings are required for the air chamber itself; it functions as an integrated part of the drying cycle.

The LF air chamber is designed as a replacement part for specific models of HILTA and IME OMNIWASH professional dishwashers and glasswashers. It fits seamlessly into the existing airflow system, restoring the original drying performance without modification to the appliance.

This air chamber is compatible with a wide range of HILTA and IME OMNIWASH models, including undercounter dishwashers, hood-type dishwashers, and dedicated glasswashers and cupwashers. The list of compatible models ensures that the part can be matched to the exact appliance in use, maintaining the efficiency and hygiene standards of the kitchen.

In the catalogue, this part is placed under dishwasher and glasswasher spares, specifically within the airflow and drying components section.
