A Post-Wash Table for 3 Cassettes is a specialized stainless steel table designed for the simultaneous sorting and storage of 3 dish cassettes. The three-cassette configuration is optimal for medium-volume dishwashing areas where efficient dish sorting after the washing cycle is required. The three-cassette configuration allows sorting three different types of dishes or destinations at the same time, reducing sorting time in the post-wash process. The stainless steel construction withstands humid working environments and meets HACCP requirements. Proper dish sorting at the final stage of dishwashing speeds up the return of dishes to circulation and improves kitchen efficiency. BHS offers this table as part of the Stainless Steel Furniture for the Dishwashing Area range to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

A post-wash table for 3 cassettes allows clean dishes to be sorted simultaneously into three different categories or destinations directly at the dishwasher exit. The cassette system organises dish sorting without unnecessary movement, reducing the time spent on distributing dishes before they return to kitchen circulation or the service area. This solution is optimal for medium-volume dishwashing operations where efficient sorting is a critical stage in the washing process in restaurants and canteens.
Advantages of three-cassette sorting
The three-cassette configuration allows dishes to be organised simultaneously according to three different criteria—for example, by dish type (plates, glasses, cups), by destination (kitchen, dining room, bar) or by size. This parallel sorting reduces the total sorting time compared to sequential sorting and allows clean dishes to be prepared more quickly for the next service cycle. Sorting efficiency is particularly valuable during peak hours when dish turnover is at its highest.
Cassette system in the post-wash process
Cassettes in the post-wash table serve as a structured tool for storing and transporting dishes. Newly washed dishes are placed in the cassette drawers or compartments according to the sorting criteria, and full cassettes can be moved immediately to the required kitchen or service area point. The cassette system also reduces dish drops compared to placing dishes freely on the table surface.
Suitability for medium-volume dishwashers
The three-cassette configuration is optimal for medium-sized restaurants, cafés and canteens with an average dish turnover. For larger dish flows, post-wash tables for 8 cassettes or other higher-capacity configurations are required. Determining the exact required cassette capacity depends on the maximum dish volume per shift and the complexity of the sorting process.
HACCP compliance in the clean-dish zone
The stainless steel post-wash table for 3 cassettes meets HACCP hygiene requirements set by food safety regulations for clean-dish processing areas. The steel surface and cassette support elements do not absorb bacteria or moisture and are easy to disinfect with standard food industry cleaning and disinfection agents. The clean-dish processing area is critical from a hygiene perspective, as dishes are already completely clean at this stage.
Improving dishwashing area efficiency
Organised sorting of clean dishes directly at the dishwasher exit increases the overall efficiency of the dishwashing area. Staff do not need to make repeated trips to a centralised sorting area, as the entire sorting process takes place in one workstation. This organisation reduces dish movement time and prevents dish accumulation at the dishwasher exit during peak hours.
Stainless steel durability
Stainless steel is the industry standard for professional kitchen furniture, providing the necessary resistance to moisture, heat and chemical cleaning agents. The table surface and cassette support elements withstand intensive daily use without visual or functional degradation for many years. The investment in a stainless steel post-wash table pays off with a long service life and minimal maintenance costs.
Cassette compatibility and size matching
The dimensions of the post-wash table for 3 cassettes compartments must be matched to the actual cassette dimensions used. Standard cassette sizes are usually 500×500 mm, but other sizes are also used in kitchens. Correct matching of cassette and table dimensions ensures stable placement and effortless removal of cassettes. BHS helps verify cassette and table compatibility.
Maintenance and daily cleaning
Daily maintenance of the post-wash table for 3 cassettes includes disinfecting the table surface and cassette compartments after each shift. The stainless steel surface is easy to clean with a cloth and standard food industry disinfectant solution. Regular maintenance ensures compliance with hygiene standards in the clean-dish processing area and prevents bacterial growth near the cassette support surfaces.
Dish sorting criteria and kitchen specifics
Different kitchens sort dishes according to various criteria depending on the business specifics. In a restaurant, sorting is done by service type and table zones; in a canteen, by dish type and size; in a hotel, by room service and dining room needs. The three-cassette table provides sufficient flexibility for choosing sorting criteria and compact space usage. Parallel sorting in three categories simultaneously reduces the total sorting time and speeds up dish preparation for the next service shift.
Compatibility with the dishwashing system
The post-wash table for 3 cassettes must be chosen with a height standard that matches the dishwasher exit height and the height of other dishwashing tables. A uniform height standard throughout the dishwashing system ensures an ergonomic working posture for staff and reduces dish drops when moving them from the machine exit to the table. The width of the cassette compartments must be matched to the actual cassette dimensions to ensure stable placement and quick removal of cassettes. BHS helps check cassette and table compatibility.
Frequently asked questions
What cassette size can the table accommodate?
The table cassette compartments are usually designed for the standard 500×500 mm cassette format, but the specifications of the particular model should be checked. BHS provides advice on cassette size compatibility.
Is a 3-cassette table sufficient, or should a larger one be chosen?
A 3-cassette table is suitable for medium-volume dish flows. For high-intensity kitchens, an 8-cassette option is recommended. BHS helps choose the right capacity.
