Hood-Type Dishwasher KASTEL HK850ESIES

The KASTEL HK850ESI ES is a professional hood dishwasher, identified by article number HK850ESIES.

This type of dishwasher operates by lifting a hood to place racks of soiled items inside. Once the hood is closed, a wash cycle begins, spraying hot water and detergent onto the dishes. This is followed by a rinse cycle using clean hot water. The hood design helps contain steam and heat, contributing to the washing process and improving the working environment.

The sequence of use involves placing items onto a 500 mm by 500 mm basket. The maximum washing height within the chamber is 425 mm, accommodating a variety of items including glasses, plates, kitchen utensils, pans, pots, and GN 1/1 containers. Larger professional kitchen utensils and pastry equipment can also be washed. The operator selects one of four washing cycles: 60, 120, 180, or 540 seconds. The Start/Stop hood function automatically begins or halts the washing process when the hood is opened or closed.

Construction is fully stainless steel. The double-skinned insulated hood minimises heat loss. Water is distributed evenly by stainless steel wash and rinse arms. A triple water filtration system is incorporated, and the self-cleaning vertical pump is designed to reduce maintenance. An integrated suction and drainage system is present, alongside an automatic end-of-day self-cleaning programme for the wash tank. A non-return valve is fitted as standard.

Controls are managed via the Electronic Smart Interface, which also monitors operation. The Multipower technology aims to optimise energy consumption and washing efficiency. The Thermostop system regulates the rinse temperature. The ES (Heat Recovery) system is a key feature, preheating incoming cold water by utilising the hot steam and heat generated within the washing chamber.

The power rating of 6.75 kW indicates the electrical load the machine places on the supply. It requires a 400 V, 3 N electrical connection. The dimensions are 760 mm in length, 793 mm in width, and 2254 mm in height, defining the space it occupies. The weight of 163 kg signifies its substantial build. The wash chamber has a volume of 30 L. Standard equipment includes an electric detergent and rinse aid dispenser.

Cleaning and upkeep are aided by the self-cleaning vertical pump and the automatic end-of-day self-cleaning programme for the wash tank. The triple water filtration system also requires attention as part of routine maintenance.
