Pot washing machine KASTEL UK55/80EPIES

The KASTEL UK55/80EPIES is a professional pot and pan washer designed for commercial kitchens. This unit is listed in the catalogue under pot washing machines.

This appliance operates by spraying hot water and detergent onto soiled items within a rack. The lower wash and rinse arm is engineered to provide even distribution of water across the items being cleaned. After the wash cycle, a hot rinse is employed, which not only aids in cleaning but also promotes faster drying of the pots and pans. The Thermostop system manages the temperature of the rinse water. For hygiene and operational integrity, a non-return valve is incorporated to prevent any backflow of dirty water into the main water supply.

The sequence of use involves loading pots and pans into the basket, which has dimensions of 565x690 mm. The operator then selects a washing programme via the electronic control system, which includes an LCD display. The machine automatically fills with water to the correct level. Once initiated, the cycle progresses through washing and rinsing stages, with programme durations available at 2, 3, 6, or 9 minutes. The maximum washing height accommodated by the machine is 800 mm. A magnetic door microswitch acts as a safety feature, stopping the machine if the door is opened during operation.

Key features include the ES system, a heat recovery mechanism designed to preheat incoming cold water, thereby reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the PRS system, incorporating an atmospheric boiler and Break Tank technology, provides a consistent and stable supply of hot water throughout operation.

Specifications include a basket size of 565x690 mm, with a capacity ranging from 7 to 30 racks per hour depending on the selected programme. The internal wash tank has a volume of 65 litres. The machine requires a 7.5 kW power supply and operates on a 400 V electrical system. Its physical dimensions are 740 mm in length, 876 mm in width, and 2184 mm in height, with a total weight of 203 kg.
