KASTEL FK 40 ESI LS PRS Professional Dishwasher

A professional dishwasher designed for intensive use in commercial kitchens, the KASTEL FK 40 ESI LS PRS cleans glasses, plates, cutlery and kitchen utensils with consistent results. The machine uses a high-temperature wash and rinse cycle to remove food residue and sanitise items, relying on heated water circulated by stainless steel arms. The process ensures hygiene standards are met without manual scrubbing, allowing kitchen staff to focus on food preparation and service.

The dishwasher operates by filling the wash tank with water, heating it to the required temperature, and spraying it through rotating arms. Detergent and rinse aid are automatically dispensed at the correct stages, while the Thermostop system ensures the water reaches the set temperature before the cycle completes.

To use the machine, load the 400x400 mm basket with dishes, glasses or cutlery, then select the appropriate cycle—90, 120 or 180 seconds—based on the level of soiling. For continuous operation, the machine can run back-to-back cycles without interruption. The electronic controls with an LCD display allow staff to monitor progress and adjust settings as needed. Once the cycle finishes, the door can be opened to unload clean items, while the machine automatically drains and refills for the next load.

The construction features a stainless steel wash tank and arms for durability, while the partially double-skinned body reduces noise and heat loss during operation. The preformed wash tank simplifies daily cleaning, and the automatic self-cleaning cycle at the end of the day maintains hygiene without manual intervention. The integrated suction and drainage system ensures water is efficiently managed, while the vertical pump reduces maintenance requirements.

The PRS system includes an atmospheric boiler and Break Tank technology. The atmospheric boiler maintains a stable rinse water temperature, which is critical for effective disinfection and consistent results, even during peak service. The Break Tank acts as a safety barrier between the water supply and the dishwasher, preventing backflow and ensuring compliance with hygiene regulations. Additional safety features include a magnetic door microswitch and a non-return valve to prevent sewage backflow.

The 44 kg weight and compact footprint of 455x550x700 mm make the machine suitable for installation under a worktop or in a designated cleaning area. The 230 V voltage requirement means it can be connected to a standard commercial electrical supply, while the 3.03 kW power rating indicates the load it will place on the circuit. The included accessories—two glass racks, a cutlery basket, a saucer insert, inlet hose and drain hose—provide everything needed for immediate operation.

Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward. The self-cleaning cycle at the end of the day flushes the wash tank, while the stainless steel components resist corrosion and are easy to wipe down. The preformed tank design prevents food debris from accumulating in hard-to-reach areas, and the vertical pump reduces the need for manual descaling.

The machine is designed for professional environments where hygiene and efficiency are critical. Its construction and features ensure it meets the demands of busy kitchens, providing reliable performance with minimal downtime.
