In a professional kitchen, the dishwashing area operates continuously – hundreds of glasses, plates and utensils must pass through the dishwasher every shift. Systematic work organisation and the right accessories in this area can reduce dish damage, speed up processing cycles and improve overall kitchen efficiency. BHS offers dishwashing accessories for HoReCa kitchens across Europe.
Dishwashing racks and baskets
Glass racks – with adjustable series dividers that ensure secure glass fixation during the washing cycle and prevent mutual contact. Plate racks with sloped stops – stable plate fixation in a vertical position. Universal perforated racks – for washing bowls, containers and other larger-volume dishes. Utensil baskets – with fine compartments for washing cutlery, knives and ladles upright, ensuring free water and rinse aid circulation. Special racks for pancake pans or large pans for washing wider dishes. All racks and baskets are made of heat-resistant plastic or stainless steel, suitable for high-temperature machine cycles. BHS offers racks of various sizes for all dishwashers across Europe.
Work surfaces and dishwashing area organisation
Pre-wash tables with sinks – for rinsing and pre-treating larger utensils before the machine. Post-wash tables – for storing and drying washed dishes. Drying inserts and grids – for draining water after washing. Plate stands and sorting trolleys – for organised storage of clean plates after washing. Glasswashers require specialised racks of the appropriate size. A hygienically organised dishwashing area reduces the risk of clean dishes being recontaminated and ensures faster return to circulation.
HACCP requirements for the dishwashing area
The dishwashing area under HACCP involves several critical aspects: washing temperature (standard – at least 60°C for washing, 80°C+ for rinsing), disinfection with chemical agents at the correct concentration, and preventing recontamination between dirty and clean dish areas. Racks and baskets must be cleaned regularly – they themselves can become a source of bacteria if food residues accumulate. Transparent or perforated racks allow water and disinfectant to freely rinse all dish surfaces. BHS offers accessories designed for dishwashing area organisation compliant with HACCP.
HoReCa usage scenarios
In a high-turnover restaurant with 100+ guests in the evening – high-quality glass racks and multiple plate baskets ensure efficient dish flow through a Hood-Type Dishwasher. In a café with high glass turnover – specialised glass racks with cylindrical dividers for glasses of different heights. In a canteen with a tray system – special tray racks for efficient washing without manual sorting. In a hotel kitchen with a wide range of dishes – several sets of racks of different sizes for various dish types. BHS helps choose the optimal accessories for each dishwasher and kitchen volume.
Frequently asked questions
What rack size is needed for my dishwasher? The rack size must match the dishwasher’s loading chamber – standard sizes are 400x400 mm and 500x500 mm. Check the manufacturer’s specifications if non-standard sizes are used. BHS consultants help select the appropriate rack size.
Are utensil baskets compatible with all machines? Most utensil baskets are universal and fit standard 400x400 or 500x500 mm racks. Specific machine designs may require original construction racks. The BHS range includes various size options.
