 This is a big DW to do the big jobs. I need a bib I'm drooling so much. It appears to be a C-103 model. CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlykenmore78's LINK on eBay | ||

It's bigger than a Fleetwood Motor Home !!!
That is the Grand Pooba of Hobarts. Three tank machine. Power Prewash, Power Wash, Power Rinse and Final 180 + Rinse. Unless the dishes are left overnight and really dried on crap, Nothing should escape that monster.
That is the eqivelent of the CM series I posted earlier but less one tank as the Wash System design on the CCM-2 was more efficient. | ||

Appnut This dishwasher has more metal Than most cars. If you could load 350 Bobloads an hour it could clean them spotless. Also GM or ANY car company never built anything this well. Thanks for commenting.
Eddie it is one of the biggest rack conveyor DW's. I've only seen one bigger in person. That was a Hobart CPW-124A. A true monster of a DW with all 3 tanks, a built in booster, automatic fill, heat, start and rinse saver. This beast washed 367 racks/Hr. There was also a twin tank version of these machines without the prewash. If you want to go any bigger you have to install a flight machine which is a six figure proposition. As we both know there are 2 types of commercial dishwashers Hobart and trouble. Nick WK78 | ||

Back about 20 years ago when i was a student at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN I spent my summer evenings working in the dining service dish room. I can't tell you exactly what model the machine was but it was definitely a 3 tank Hobart flight machine that was about 2 years old at that point. When we were "full" up with the dishes of 600-800 summer campers and conference attendees all leaving the dining room at the same time we would have timed contests to see how long we could keep the machine running continuously and fully loaded with only one person loading and one person unloading on the other end. I think our record was about 90 minutes!

@ Kenmore71 This was likely A FT-800 series machine. A true King of the Dishwashers if there ever was one. I had one in my dishroom when I was Executive steward @ the Bloomington Marriott on the 494 strip. This Absolute POWERHOUSE of a dishwasher did all the dishes and pots and pans for that 500 room hotel. I loved using that beast. No matter how fast you fed it dishes it laughed and said "is that all you've got". I was the fastest guy to ever load that belt. Still that DW forced my hand at every turn to keep it full.

@ Nick
This whole thread on commercial dishwashers brings back SO many memories of using commercial dishwashing equipment that go back all the way to about 1982 when I was in the 5th grade! We used to be assigned to kitchen duty at my Catholic grade school. It may be hard to believe now, but they actually had 11-12 year olds using commercial dishwashing equipment. My how the times have changed! I don;t remember what kind of machine that dish room had except that was NOT a Hobart. Perhaps "Universal"? It was pretty old already in 1982 and was likely new to the school building which was built in 1959. About all that I remember about the machine physically was that it had a red "start" button that was on a control panel to the upper right of the machine. This button would often stick and you had to make sure that you pulled it back out after the machine started. Also, the main wash "arms" (if you will) were three or four stationary slotted pipes. The rinse arms were rotary. When cleaning the machine you always had to move the lower rinse arm to a position so that you could lift up the lower wash assembly to get the segment trays out. There were also two gas burners located underneath the main wash tub that needed to be turned off when the machine was drained. I may look around a bit on the internet yet tonight and see what I can find! After that experience, I think every other machine I have ever used has been a Hobart.

@kenmore 71 The DW you are talking about sounds like a Vulcan Autosan. St. Mike's Catholic School (Prior Lake MN.) had one. The arms were all stationary. The other school DW I used early in life was a Blakeslee undercounter machine. It sounded like a Hobart. Low wash chamber clearance but great washing action. Nick WK78 | ||
