NN12 Dishwashing Equipment

Dishwashing equipment of this type uses a combination of hot water and detergent to remove grease, food residue and bacteria from crockery, glassware and utensils. A pump draws water from a built-in tank, heats it to the required temperature and sprays it at high pressure through rotating arms. The force of the water and the action of the detergent break down soils, while the heat sanitises the load. After the wash cycle, a rinse stage removes detergent and ensures items emerge clean and ready for immediate use or storage.

The operator loads racks with soiled items, slides them into the machine and selects the appropriate programme. The machine fills with water, heats it and begins the wash cycle, followed by rinsing. Once the cycle completes, the operator removes the racks and unloads the clean items. The process is designed to handle continuous loads in a busy kitchen, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistent results.

The NN12 is built for professional use, with materials chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion. Controls are straightforward, allowing staff to select cycles quickly and monitor progress. The equipment is designed to fit into standard kitchen workflows, occupying a fixed space on the worktop or floor.

Cleaning and maintenance involve regular descaling of the water tank and spray arms to prevent limescale build-up, as well as wiping down surfaces to remove detergent residue. The machine's construction allows easy access to internal components for thorough cleaning and upkeep.
