Introduction to WarewashingFood service warewashing is the method by which dishes, glasses, flatware, pots and pans, etc. are cleaned by an automated process that employs hot water, motion and detergent. The facility’s automated warewasher is often its most expensive piece of equipment and, ironically, is usually operated by the least trained employees.
An automated warewasher contains seven key components:
- Tank containing a detergent solution
- Hood to contain wash and rinse action
- Pumping and piping system that sprays the detergent solution over the ware
- Rinse system that receives and sprays the final rinse over the ware
- Electrical system to regulate wash and rinse action
- Heating system to maintain wash solution temperature
- Method by which the ware is conveyed through the system
