KASTEL Pot and Pan Washer for Professional Kitchens, 65 L

A pot and pan washer removes baked-on residues by directing high-pressure hot water through rotating wash arms beneath a stainless-steel basket. The lower wash and rinse arm spreads water evenly across every surface, dissolving grease and food particles without manual scrubbing. Hot rinse cycles raise the final water temperature to accelerate drying and reduce bacterial load, while the thermostatic control ensures the target temperature is reached before the cycle ends.

The operator loads pots, pans and utensils into the 660 × 815 mm basket, selects a 2, 3, 6 or 9-minute programme on the electronic LCD panel, and starts the machine. Automatic water filling maintains the correct tank level throughout the cycle. A magnetic door microswitch halts all movement the instant the door is opened, preventing scalding. Once the cycle finishes, the machine can run an end-of-day self-cleaning sequence that flushes the tank and arms, cutting manual maintenance.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel, including the wash tank, door and interior. A 4-place tray rack and a 50 × 60 cm utensil rack are supplied, together with a 2 m inlet hose and a 2.5 m drain hose. The PRS system combines an atmospheric boiler with Break Tank technology to deliver a steady hot-water supply and block any backflow of contaminated water into the mains.

An 8.3 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply with neutral and earth, the standard circuit for heavy-duty catering equipment. The 196 kg weight means the unit must be positioned on a solid floor and moved with a pallet truck or sack barrow. Overall dimensions of 835 × 1023 × 1883/2111 mm allow it to fit through standard kitchen doorways and under most worktops when the taller height option is chosen.

Cleaning involves daily activation of the self-clean cycle to rinse the tank, weekly inspection of the wash arms for blockages, and periodic descaling of the boiler and tank to prevent limescale build-up. The non-return valve should be checked annually to ensure it still seals against backflow.

The UK65/65EPIPRS is a single-configuration model within the KASTEL pot-washer range, designed for high-volume commercial kitchens that need rapid turnaround of large pots and pans.
