Hood-Type Dishwasher KASTEL HK850ESI

A dome dishwasher clears large volumes of tableware, cookware and pastry equipment by spraying hot water under pressure through rotating arms. The dome design lifts to create a tall chamber that accepts stacked racks of plates, glasses, pans and gastronorm containers without tipping or crowding. Hot water is pumped from a heated tank, filtered, and recirculated; detergent and rinse aid are injected at set points to lift grease and leave surfaces spotless. The cycle ends only when the rinse water reaches the disinfection temperature, ensuring hygiene standards are met every time.

Load the 500 × 500 mm basket with plates, glasses, cutlery or GN 1/1 containers up to 425 mm high. Close the insulated hood; the machine starts automatically. Select one of four cycles—60, 120, 180 or 540 seconds—using the electronic Smart Interface. The display shows countdown and temperature. When the cycle finishes, the hood unlocks and the load is ready for unloading. The Thermostop system holds the rinse phase until the water reaches the required temperature, so every load is sanitised regardless of incoming water conditions.

The dishwasher is built from stainless steel throughout: wash and rinse arms, chamber walls, hood and external panels. A triple filtration system traps food particles and prevents them from recirculating. The self-cleaning vertical pump maintains consistent water flow without manual intervention. An automatic end-of-day self-cleaning programme flushes the wash tank, reducing the need for daily scrubbing. The integrated suction and drainage system, complete with non-return valve, prevents backflow into the water supply and simplifies installation.

Multipower technology adjusts power draw to match the load, reducing energy consumption while maintaining performance. The 6.75 kW rating indicates the load it places on a three-phase 400 V circuit, typical for professional kitchen equipment. The 119 kg weight requires a solid worktop or floor mounting; the 760 × 793 mm footprint fits standard kitchen layouts. The double-skinned insulated hood lowers noise, retains heat and reduces steam emission, keeping the kitchen environment more comfortable.

Standard accessories include two 50 × 50 cm plate racks, one 50 × 50 cm glass rack, two cutlery holders, a 2 m inlet hose and a 2 m drain hose. A water softener is available as an optional extra to prevent limescale build-up in hard-water areas.

The dishwasher is categorised under professional dome dishwashers, designed for high-volume catering operations where speed, hygiene and reliability are essential.
