Hood-Type Dishwasher KASTEL HK60EPIXL

The KASTEL HK60EPI XL is a professional hood dishwasher designed for high-volume commercial kitchens. This appliance uses a powerful wash and rinse system to clean a variety of items, from delicate glassware to heavy pans and containers. The operating principle of a hood dishwasher involves heating water to a specific temperature and then spraying it under pressure through rotating arms to remove food soil. The hood design allows for larger items to be washed and creates a contained environment for the wash cycle. After the wash, a rinse cycle uses clean hot water to sanitise and remove detergent residue. The HK60EPI XL features stainless steel wash and rinse arms for effective water distribution. Operation begins by placing items on a 500 x 600 mm basket. The maximum washing height is 415 mm, accommodating glasses, plates, kitchen utensils, pans, pots, and 60x40 containers. The machine offers four distinct washing cycles: 60, 120, 180, and 540 seconds, allowing selection based on the level of soiling. The Start/Stop function for the hood simplifies operation, automatically starting cycles when the hood is closed and stopping when opened. Key features include Multipower technology, which adapts the machine's performance, and the Thermostop system, which precisely controls the rinse temperature for effective sanitisation. The self-cleaning vertical pump is integrated, and an automatic end-of-day self-cleaning programme for the wash tank maintains hygiene. The construction is fully stainless steel, offering durability and ease of cleaning. The unit also includes an integrated suction and drainage system, a non-return valve, and standard equipment of an electric detergent and rinse aid dispenser. The power requirement for this dishwasher is 10.3 kW, operating on a 400 V, 3-phase electrical supply. Its dimensions are 785 mm in length, 793 mm in width, and 1494 mm in height, with a weight of 134 kg. The washing chamber has a capacity of 40 litres. Cleaning and upkeep are supported by the integrated self-cleaning programmes for the wash tank and the vertical pump. The triple water filtration system also contributes to easier maintenance by trapping debris. This appliance is listed in the catalogue under professional dishwashers and hood dishwashers.
