I believe that some bosses who are new to the catering industry will be confused about what kind of commercial dishwashers they should use in their kitchens. At present, the common commercial dishwashers on the market are ultrasonic dishwashers, lid-type dishwashers and long-long dishwashers. Among them, ultrasonic dishwashers are rarely used because of the high noise during the working process. Therefore, today we mainly focus on which one is better, the lid-type dishwasher or the long-long dishwasher? Let's analyze it for everyone. Here we first make a summary: There is no better lid-type dishwasher or long-long dishwasher, but each has a suitable use scenario. 1. Washing volume and efficiency Lid-type dishwasher: The washing volume is relatively small, suitable for small restaurants, specific hotel dining areas, stationed multi-store canteens and other places with high table turnover rates. The time to wash a basket of tableware is usually short, such as about 60 seconds, with high efficiency and can be put into use after washing. Long-long dishwasher: large washing capacity, continuous washing, can wash hundreds or even thousands of tableware per hour. High washing efficiency, can customize a variety of functional modules, sizes and specific cleaning types according to functional requirements, suitable for medium to large-scale dishwashing operations, such as large hotels, canteens, factories, large banquets, tableware washing lines, etc. 2. Function and configuration Hood-type dishwasher: usually equipped with rotating upper and lower spray arms, with corresponding washing baskets to spray dishes at multiple angles. Generally, one basket can be washed in one minute. A small number of models also have disinfection, drying and storage functions. Changlong dishwasher: with longer washing tracks and stronger washing capacity, usually composed of washing units, spraying units, drying units, etc. The number of washing and spraying units can be selected according to the degree of dirtiness of the dishes, so as to achieve flexible assembly and improve the cleaning effect. Some models also have advanced functions such as automatic mesh belt conveyor, anti-slip design of tableware, stainless steel filter, etc., and can also be customized according to actual needs. 3. Energy consumption and water use Both have good energy saving effects in terms of energy consumption and water use, but the specific data needs to be determined according to the equipment model and the information provided by the manufacturer. Generally speaking, energy-saving and low-water-consuming dishwashers can effectively reduce operating costs and improve economic benefits. It should be noted that both hood-type dishwashers and Changlong dishwashers need to use dishwasher-specific detergents and cannot use traditional detergents. 4. Space occupation Hood-type dishwasher: It occupies a relatively small area, is square, and has strong flexibility. If the venue is relatively limited, there is a high turnover rate and the tableware needs to be quickly cleaned and put back into use, it is recommended to choose a lid-lifting machine. Longlong dishwasher: It is large in size and has high requirements for the venue. It is necessary to ensure that there is enough space to install and operate the longlong machine, as well as to place the tableware to be washed and washed. At present, small longlong dishwashers have been launched on the market. The size is slightly larger than the lid-lifting machine to meet the needs of restaurants with small kitchen areas but large washing requirements, but the functionality cannot be as rich as that of traditional longlong machines. 5. Price and budget The prices of dishwashers of different models and brands vary greatly. The price of lid-lifting dishwashers is relatively low, which is suitable for small venues with limited budgets; while the price of longlong dishwashers is higher, but it can meet large-scale and high-intensity dishwashing needs, which is suitable for large venues with sufficient budgets. In summary, lid-lifting dishwashers and longlong dishwashers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better needs to be decided according to actual needs. Simply put, if the venue is small, the daily tableware volume is not large, or there is a high turnover rate, it is recommended to choose a lid-lifting dishwasher; if the venue is large and a large amount of tableware needs to be processed, it is recommended to choose a longlong dishwasher.
