Commercial Glasswasher / Warewashing Machine
Glasswashers use pressurised heated water with detergents to quickly remove grime off glass surfaces.
They are specially designed to hygienically and thoroughly wash your glassware, whilst being delicate enough to avoid breakage which may occur in dishwashers.
They take a fraction of the time it would take for employees, or even dishwashers, to do this, since their wash cycles are a lot quicker.
Moreover, they reduce the risk of injury from broken glass and improve the quality of the wash for your glassware (avoiding streaks, for example).
Nova Catering Repairs’ glasswasher engineers are here to provide commercial glasswasher repairs when, and, as, needed for your catering business.
Whilst possible, it is not recommended to wash glasses in a commercial dishwasher. Washing glasses in a commercial dishwasher can cause breakage that damages the machine, and the other glassware in the machine, and further poses safety risks to employees.
Dishwashers wash tableware at higher temperatures, so whilst suitable for thoroughly cleaning plates and cutlery, could risk damaging more delicate glassware. Moreover, glass washers are designed to fit glassware within – dishwashers only hold a limited amount and need plenty of space to ensure the water can clean between the items.
Though glass washers are not a necessity, if your commercial catering business has a high turnover of glassware, glass washers are convenient for maximising efficiency and effectiveness within your kitchen.
The ideal glass washer temperature is 55 degrees Celsius for washing and a slightly hotter 65 degrees Celsius for rinsing your glassware.
Whilst glass can scratch and damage under too much water pressure or heat, such as that produced from a dishwasher, enough heat is needed to remove any bacteria or grime.
Glass washer maintenance should be carried out regularly in order to keep your glass washer working at optimal efficiency and to ensure it has a healthy lifespan. Find more detailed guidance on your glass washer maintenance here.
Drain the machine and turn it off daily at the end of service. Take this time to inspect the interior of the glass washer, including the spray nozzles and rotating spray bars for debris or blockage. Remove and clean the filters; it is recommended you wash down the interior walls, too, though this does not have to be done on a daily basis. Remember to check detergent level/ chemical containers, refilling if necessary, before leaving the door of the glass washer ajar to allow for overnight internal drying.
