Dishwashing Accessories

Dishwashing accessories are an essential part of a professional dishwashing system, where the efficiency of dishwashers and HACCP hygiene compliance largely depend on the right accessories. Recognised washing practices require not only a reliable dishwasher but also the correct racks for different types of dishes, an effective pre-wash system and precise detergent dosing. Accessories reduce energy, water and chemical consumption, improving cost-effectiveness.

Dishwashing racks and baskets

Racks and baskets are the primary accessories for professional dishwashers. Plate racks — 40×40 cm or 50×50 cm standard racks for vertical or horizontal plate placement; suitable for 10–16 plates. Glass racks — special racks for glass and cup shapes; integrated dividers prevent glasses from knocking together. Cutlery racks or cassettes — baskets or inserts for forks, knives and spoons; improve washing quality. Tray racks — larger racks for standard HoReCa trays. Special racks — adapted for containers, bottles and filling dishes. Also check out professional dishwashers.

Pre-wash systems

Pre-washing before the dishwasher is important for improving washing results. Shower mixers with nozzle — hand showers with water mixer for the kitchen sink; hot/cold water regulation; washing off food residues. Stationary pre-wash station — can be mounted above the sink or dishwasher inlet; automatic or manual activation nozzle. Rinsing shower heads — various nozzle configurations and water flow intensity options. Water filtration — filters at the machine’s water inlet; prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas. Also check out kitchen shower mixers.

Detergent and rinse aid dosing

Precise dosing of chemicals is key to an economical and effective dishwashing process. Automatic dispenser — peristaltic pump that doses detergent and rinse aid in precise amounts for each washing cycle. Manual dispenser — adjustable valve with manual calibration; simpler but less precise. Concentrate systems — bag-in-box detergent systems with automatic dosing; reduce waste. Dosing control — each machine manufacturer specifies the optimal detergent amount in grams per cycle; the dispenser must be calibrated according to water hardness. BHS provides consultation on dosing systems.

Transport systems in the dishwashing area

Efficient dish flow in the dishwashing area reduces staff working time. Dish trolleys — stainless steel trolleys with rack holders; transport dirty and clean dishes between kitchen zones. Belt conveyors — in large canteen dishwashing areas; automatic dish movement through the washing system. Sinks with integrated rack holder — sink with dividers directly at the dishwasher inlet. Directional transfer — 90° transfer units in tunnel washing systems; for high-volume canteens. Also check out washing equipment.

HoReCa usage scenarios

Restaurant or café dishwashing area — complete rack set with plate, glass and cutlery racks; pre-wash shower; automatic dispenser; optimal washing efficiency. Large canteen or corporate kitchen — tunnel dishwasher requires special transfer racks and conveyor accessories. Hotel with banquet service — high-capacity glass and cup racks to supplement the dishwasher during busy events. BHS supplies dishwashing accessories to businesses.
