Introducing the FT-1000 with Advansys energy recovery. This is a dishwasher with a capacity of over 14,000 dishes per hour! It requires no pre-scrapping and uses only 58 gallons of 180f rinse water per hour. The machine is also ventless as it reuses the waste steam to heat itself. This DW also has automatic cleaning and deliming cycles as well as on board diagnostics. HMM, I wonder who makes it? Click the link and find out. This is really cool.

Good Lord!  Where are these huge dishwashers used, Nick?

This type of dishwasher is used for very large scale institutional and commercial dishwashing. Normal installations would be hotels, prisons, college dorms, hospitals, flight kitchens, large buffet houses, and other operations needing massive scale dishwashing.

I realize the need for things to be more efficient. And everything sounds all phenomenal and amazing when you start spewing out numbers to impress the consumer. But this ratio just seems a little far fetched. I realize that the water is filtered an all and chemically treated to neutralize anything but come on people let's think about this for a minute.

over 14,000 dishes per hour and it uses ONLY 58 gal. of water!!! That's not even a 1/4 cup of water per dish so to speak. When you use that kind of ratio doesn't it make you wonder just what chemicals are we using to make this possible and what will end up being the long term effect for the human body.

Wow! Very nice machine! Very $$$!
While talking $$$, why can't they take the waste from these different compartments and have them all slide down to one chopper, then down the drain? Like home indoor plumbing? You would never have to empty anything!
At this price....I think they could do it.

Yes,think the scrap trays in this dishwasher should empty or be flushed into the disposer or pulper.That way no handling of the trays by operators-think this would be more sanitary,too.
At the closed transmitter plant we had a transmitter that wanted to be a pass thru dishwasher-it had LOTS of leaks-sometimes you would start it and the floor gets flooded with water!!GA8 is its self clean floor wash mode-you can load the trays of dishes and pass-em thru!!Had to repair LOTS of leaks in that thing.Now it sits unused.Its heat exchanger "blown" from freezing.

washdaddy: It uses more water than 58 gallons per hour. That is how much 180F rinse water, used for in the final rinse for sanitizing, it uses per hour.

Good grief. Can it make everlasting gobstoppers?

Joe,
I realize that it's the final rinse that is using that amount of water to sanitize the dishes but you figure with all the chemicals they've used to clean the dishes up to that point and then to just use that amount for sanitizing. It just makes you think about the harshness of the chemicals used to reach that desired point just what is going to be the outcome to the body in the long run.

God knows everything else we do these days seems to end up being harmful to us in the long run it just makes you wonder. Just saying, I wonder what's going to happen if the human body starts turning "green" literally. ;)

FT-1000 water usage

whirlykenmore78's profile picture
Remember that the dishwasher has 5 tanks that are cleaned and refilled every 2 hours or after each meal service.
Capacities are as follows
ASR-7.2 gal
Pre-wash, wash, power rinse-40gal EA.
Dual Rinse-7.2 gal.
This would mean the machine is holding 134.4 gallons of water just from it's initial fill of the tanks. It takes a lot of water to fill a DW of this size.

Question:

Does these commercial dish machines feature only 1 rinse for sanitising?

 

Doesn't this meant the dishes are poorly rinsed, even if Rinse-Aid is used?

This dishwasher rinses the dishes 3 times. there is the Power rinse and dual rinse then the final 180f rinse. The first 2 are recycled water sprayed through a pump after the respective tanks have been filled. The final rinse water counter flows through the tanks until it reaches the ASR phase then goes down the drain.

I wonder if stevet has worked on any of these yet.

The on board diagnostics...I don't know... If it's anything like the LXI series glass washer we have at the restaurant, it's a nightmare once the boards start to go south.

The UM and WM series were mechanical times and trouble free. I've decided to set up a cot in the attic for a service tech because of the frequent service calls on the LXI.
