Pot washing machine KASTEL UK55/80EPIPRS

The KASTEL UK55/80EPIPRS is a commercial pot and pan washer designed for professional kitchens. Its primary function is to clean large items such as pots and pans efficiently. A pot washer operates by spraying hot water and detergent onto the items placed within its basket. After the wash cycle, a rinse cycle uses clean hot water to remove detergent residue. The KASTEL UK55/80EPIPRS includes a hot rinse function and a Thermostop system, which makes the rinse water reach the correct temperature for effective sanitisation. The sequence of use involves loading soiled pots and pans into the machine's basket, which measures 565 x 690 mm. The washing height available is 800 mm, accommodating substantial items. The operator then selects one of the multiple washing programs via the electronic controls, which include an LCD display. These programs offer different intensities and durations, with cycle times of 2, 3, 6, or 9 minutes, corresponding to capacities of 30, 20, 10, or 7 racks per hour respectively. The machine automatically fills with water and features a magnetic door microswitch for safety. After the cycle completes, the clean items are removed from the basket. Construction includes a lower wash and rinse arm for thorough cleaning. The PRS system is a key feature, incorporating an atmospheric boiler and Break Tank technology. This setup provides a stable supply of hot water for washing and rinsing while preventing any backflow of water into the mains supply, as required by water regulations. A non-return valve is also fitted as a safeguard. The machine is powered by a 7.5 kW heating element and operates on a 400 V electrical supply. Controls are electronic, managed through an LCD display, allowing selection of various washing programs. The machine also features an end-of-day self-cleaning cycle, which automatically rinses and cleans the wash tank to simplify daily maintenance. The basket size of 565 x 690 mm dictates the maximum dimensions of items that can be washed in a single load. The washing height of 800 mm indicates the vertical clearance for items. The 65 L wash tank volume determines the amount of water used per cycle. A power rating of 7.5 kW signifies the electrical load the machine places on the supply. The dimensions of 740 mm (length) by 876 mm (width) by 2034 mm (height) indicate the floor space and vertical clearance required. The 400 V voltage specifies the electrical supply needed. Weighing 188 kg, the machine is a substantial piece of equipment. Cleaning and upkeep are aided by the end-of-day self-cleaning cycle.
