KASTEL Pot and Pan Washer for Professional Kitchens, 1260x815 mm

A pot and pan washer removes baked-on food and grease from large kitchenware by combining high-pressure water jets with elevated temperatures. The machine fills a tank with water, heats it to a temperature that loosens residue, then directs jets through rotating arms onto the load. A final hot rinse disinfects and speeds drying, while a heat-recovery system captures steam to pre-warm incoming water, cutting energy use and reducing ambient humidity.

The operator loads pots, pans and utensils into the 1260 × 815 mm stainless-steel basket, slides it into the chamber, and selects a cycle from the electronic panel. The machine automatically fills to the required level, heats the water, and runs the chosen programme—two, three, six or nine minutes—adjusting pressure and temperature for light or heavy soiling. A lower wash arm ensures even coverage across tall items up to 800 mm high. When the cycle ends, the door unlocks and the basket can be removed.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, with a magnetic microswitch that halts operation when the door opens. An atmospheric boiler and break-tank system maintain a steady hot-water supply and prevent backflow into the mains. A non-return valve and thermostatic control further safeguard water quality and temperature.

The electronic control panel features an LCD display for selecting programmes and monitoring progress. A self-cleaning end-of-day cycle rinses the tank automatically, reducing manual upkeep.

The 15 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, typical of commercial kitchens with high-demand equipment. The 346 kg weight indicates a floor-standing unit that must be positioned on a level, load-bearing surface. Overall dimensions of 1436 × 995 × 2184 mm determine the space needed, while the 2330 mm height allows for overhead clearance.

Cleaning involves daily use of the self-clean cycle and periodic wiping of the chamber and door seals. The included 50 × 60 cm utensil rack and four-place tray rack simplify loading and unloading.

The washer is supplied with a 2 m inlet hose and a 2.5 m drain hose for straightforward plumbing connections.
