Table with Grid, Small Rollers

A roller table with grid and small rollers is a specialised solution for the post-washing zone, combining precise transport of smaller racks with effective moisture drainage immediately after the washing process. The grid surface allows water to drain freely from freshly washed rack rows, while the small rollers ensure more stable movement for smaller dishes. This specialised combination is particularly effective in dishwashing areas where smaller-sized racks form the main rack flow.

Synergy of grid and small rollers

The combination of a grid surface with small rollers is especially effective in the post-washing stage, where racks exit the washing machine wet and hot. The grid immediately drains excess water, while the small rollers ensure stable movement of racks towards the sorting or storage area. The synergy of both elements speeds up rack preparation for the next use and reduces the accumulation of damp moisture near the work surface.

Specifics of small rollers in the post-washing zone

Small rollers are ideal for transporting racks of glasses, coffee cups and smaller dishes, where standard large rollers may cause instability. In the post-washing stage, the weight reduction in smaller rack rows means that small rollers provide better contact with rack walls and more precise movement control. This optimisation is a practical advantage for dishwashing areas with a specific type of rack in standard use.

Comparison with the standard grid variant

Compared to standard roller tables with grid and large rollers, the small roller variant is more suitable if the rack system is dominated by smaller sizes. The standard table with large rollers serves a wider range of racks and is a more universal solution for larger kitchens. The small roller with grid variant is ideal for specialised dishwashing areas with a specific type of rack circulation system. BHS helps choose the right variant.

Grid disinfection and cleaning

The grid surface, despite its water drainage advantages, requires regular cleaning and disinfection. Food residues and moisture can accumulate in the grid cells, so after each shift the grid must be washed with a disinfectant solution. The small rollers can be removed for cleaning separately from the grid, ensuring full access to all surfaces. BHS advises on cleaning methods in accordance with HACCP requirements.

Moisture management in the post-washing stage

Immediately after exiting the washing machine, racks are damp and can leave water marks on a flat surface. The grid allows this moisture to drain freely beneath the table to the drainage system or a water collection tray, reducing the risk of slipping and helping to keep the work surface clean. Effective moisture management improves work safety and hygiene in the post-washing zone.

Integration into the dishwashing system

The table with grid and small rollers is positioned directly after the washing machine exit in the post-washing stage or in another location where moisture drainage is required. The table height and roller position match standard conveyor dimensions. It can also be used in combination with flat or other types of tables according to rack flow organisation. BHS helps plan the optimal dishwashing system layout.

Workplace ergonomics

Moving racks on small rollers with minimal effort is possible even during long working hours. The grid and small rollers allow rack rows to move smoothly, regardless of their fill level. This ergonomic combination reduces staff muscle strain during shifts and increases dish circulation efficiency. BHS recommends this variant for kitchens with high post-washing volume intensity.

Space planning

The placement of the table with grid and small rollers should be planned according to the rack flow direction from the washing machine to the sorting area. Water drainage from the grid must be ensured—either directly to the drainage system or a collection system beneath the table. The table size should be chosen to match the washing machine width and rack row length. BHS helps plan the dishwashing area layout.

Stainless steel durability

Stainless steel for the grid, small rollers and table frame ensures resistance to constant humid environments, hot water and food industry disinfection chemicals. This construction is designed for long-term use without corrosion or wear. Investing in a high-quality stainless steel table pays off with a stable and reliable dishwashing system in HoReCa businesses.

How to choose the small roller with grid variant

The main deciding factor is the rack system—if the kitchen primarily uses smaller-sized racks, the small roller with grid variant is ideal. The need for a grid is determined by the amount of moisture in the post-washing stage and the floor drainage system capacity. BHS helps evaluate these factors and determine the most suitable configuration for a specific dishwashing area.

Return on investment in dishwashing efficiency

Investing in a specialised roller table with the right roller size and grid combination directly impacts the dishwashing workflow. Proper rack transport without interruptions and stable moisture drainage reduce repeated actions and increase shift throughput. HoReCa businesses gain a more efficient dishwashing area with lower staff workload and higher productivity.

Frequently asked questions

Is the grid suitable for the pre-washing stage?

The grid is most effective in the post-washing stage, where racks are wet after washing. It can be used in pre-washing if a large amount of moisture is expected. BHS helps determine the optimal placement.

What rack sizes are suitable for small rollers?

Small rollers are ideal for transporting racks of glasses, coffee cups and smaller dishes. BHS helps check compatibility with a specific rack model.
