I believe that many people will be entangled between the lid-opening machine and the long-distance machine when choosing a commercial dishwasher. What kind of dishwasher is suitable for you needs to consider multiple factors, including equipment type, function, washing capacity, efficiency, energy consumption, site requirements and budget. The following is a detailed comparison and suggestion of the two equipment: 1. Equipment type and function lid-opening dishwasher: The whole machine is made of high-quality stainless steel plate, which is sturdy and durable. It usually has a rotating upper and lower spray arm to spray the tableware at multiple angles to ensure the cleaning effect. The lid-opening machine also has the functions of disinfection, drying and storage, which can meet the dishwashing needs of general commercial kitchens. Long-distance dishwasher: The long-distance dishwasher has a longer washing track and stronger washing capacity. It is usually composed of a washing unit, a spray unit, a drying unit, etc. It can choose the number of washing and spray units according to the degree of dirtiness of the tableware, realize flexible assembly, and improve the cleaning effect. The long-distance machine is suitable for large-scale and high-intensity dishwashing needs. It is one of the ideal choices for dishwashing plants and a commonly used type of dishwasher in canteens. 2. Washing capacity and efficiency. Lid opener: The washing volume is relatively small, suitable for small restaurants, specific hotel dining areas, canteens with multiple stores, and other places with high table turnover rates. The time to wash a basket of tableware is usually short, such as about 60 seconds, and the efficiency is relatively high. Long-distance machine: Large washing capacity, capable of continuous washing, can wash hundreds or even thousands of tableware per hour. High washing efficiency, suitable for medium to large-scale dishwashing operations. 3. Energy consumption and water cost When choosing a dishwasher, energy consumption and water use are important considerations. Generally speaking, energy-saving and low-water-consuming dishwashers can effectively reduce operating costs and improve economic benefits. The specific energy consumption and water use data need to be determined based on the equipment model and the information provided by the manufacturer. Long-distance machines and lid openers have good energy and water cost savings. 4. Site requirements. Lid opener: The floor space is relatively small, square, and flexible. If the site is relatively limited, it is recommended to choose a lid opener. Long-distance machine: Large size, high site requirements. You need to ensure that there is enough space to install and run the long-distance machine, as well as to place the dishes to be washed and washed. 5. Budget Budget is also an important factor to consider when choosing a dishwasher. The prices of dishwashers of different models and brands vary greatly. The performance and price ratio of the dishwasher should be comprehensively considered based on the budget and actual needs. 6. Comprehensive suggestions Choose according to the venue and needs: If the venue is small, the daily amount of tableware is not large or there is a high turnover rate, it is recommended to choose a lid opener; if the venue is large and a large amount of tableware needs to be processed, it is recommended to choose a long-distance machine. Consider equipment performance and stability: Choose a dishwasher brand and model with stable performance and reliable quality to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Pay attention to energy consumption and water costs: Choose energy-saving and low-water consumption dishwashers to reduce operating costs. Consider after-sales service and maintenance costs: Choose brands and models with good after-sales service and maintenance guarantees to reduce later maintenance costs. In summary, choosing a lid opener or a long-distance machine needs to be comprehensively considered based on actual conditions.
