Dish drying trolleys are a functional step in the dishwashing and storage cycle — natural drying on trolleys is more hygienic than wiping with cloths and more efficient than leaving dishes on the counter. BHS offers these trolleys.
Advantages of dish drying trolleys
Dish drying trolleys provide several advantages for hygienic dish processing. Natural drying — dish drying trolleys with an open construction ensure air circulation around dishes from all sides; this speeds up drying and reduces moisture accumulation. Hygiene — dish drying trolleys provide more hygienic drying than using cloths, which can transfer bacteria. Mobility — dish drying trolleys are easily moved between the washing area and storage location with a full load of dishes. Water drainage — the open wire construction of dish drying trolleys allows water to drain freely; they can be placed next to the dishwasher. See also transport platform carts.
Design and types of dish drying trolleys
Dish drying trolleys are available in various configurations according to the type of dishes to be dried. Plate drying trolleys — dish drying trolleys with vertical wire compartments for drying plates upright; plates are supported by wires, allowing water to drain along the edges. Glass drying trolleys — dish drying trolleys with inverted glass supports; glasses dry upside down on the supports. GN container drying trolleys — dish drying trolleys with GN size compartments; efficient drying of large containers after washing. Universal drying trolleys — dish drying trolleys with a combined configuration for drying various types of dishes simultaneously. See also the trolley for dishwasher baskets with plate rack.
Sizes and capacity of dish drying trolleys
When choosing dish drying trolleys, it is important to consider capacity and space dimensions. Plate capacity — dish drying trolleys for plates usually have 30–50 plate positions; capacity for one dishwasher cycle. External dimensions — dish drying trolleys with a width of 500–700 mm and depth of 500–700 mm; must fit the available space in the washing area. Castors — dish drying trolleys have 4 castors with at least 2 locking pedals; for stable placement next to the dishwasher. Multi-level trolleys — dish drying trolleys with 2–3 drying levels; increase total capacity in a compact space.
Cleaning and maintenance of dish drying trolleys
Regular maintenance of dish drying trolleys ensures hygienic and safe conditions for drying dishes. Daily cleaning — clean the wire and metal surfaces of dish drying trolleys after each shift with a food equipment detergent; rinse with clean water. Disinfection — disinfect dish drying trolleys once a day or more frequently; contact surfaces for dishes must be thoroughly clean and disinfected. Moisture control — regularly clean the bottom of dish drying trolleys to remove water puddles; moisture accumulation in lower shelves creates a breeding ground for microbes. Castor inspection — regularly check the castors of dish drying trolleys for stability; corrosion in a damp environment accelerates castor wear. See also tray trolley fittings.
