Many of us think that a glass washer and dishwasher are almost same in terms of their functionality. Therefore many people think that it is unnecessary to invest in both of them.
Many of us think that a glass washer and dishwasher are almost same in terms of their functionality. Therefore many people think that it is unnecessary to invest in both of them. They clean whatever is placed inside them. But no, that is not the case. A glasswasher is designed specifically to clean glasses. It has many advantages both commercially and domestically. Let us look them one by one.
A glasswasher washes pretty fast. It can manage 20-30 racks per hour. That means it can clean upto 600 glasses per hour. The operation of a commercial dishwasher while not longer requires higher pressures from a more powerful pump, stronger more expensive detergents and higher temperatures. As it cleans utensil of various sizes, its time of cleaning will depend on time taken in cleaning the bowls of bigger sizes. Thus glasswashers are perfect fit in restaurants and bars serving variety of drinks and beverages.
A commercial dishwasher is meant for cleaning all kinds of utensils like large pots and pans as well as smaller kitchen items. As a result they often make use of high temperature to thoroughly remove strains and grease from utensils. Therefore the glasses put in such a contraption will be exposed to high temperature that many cause damage to it like scratches or marks. A glasswasher cycle time is shorter. This is an optimum cleaning condition for glasses.
Even in term of quality a glasswasher is much ahead of a dishwasher. A dishwasher uses strong detergent that can leave streak marks on your glasses. However, glasswashers will keep the sparkle of the glasses with the usage of mild detergent and lower temperatures.
Glasswashers are a cost-effective and necessary piece of equipment for any restaurant or bar. If you have adequate space to install a glasswasher in your bar area, then buying this equipment will deliver real value for money in terms of time and energy and water saved.
Glasswashers are available of various brands such as Maidaid, Hobart and Clenaware Sovereign Glasswashers. Let us take a look at a couple of models of these brands. The Maidaid C Range Glasswashers are a cost-effective solution, durable and reliable they have has an hourly capacity of 30 racks per hour.

By now you should be aware of the superior performance of a good glass washer from a commercial perspective. It is unwise to ignore these appliances in favour of using a traditional dishwasher. You may think that you are being economical by buying a dishwasher, which can serve all purposes, but in fact it is a false economy, as a commercial dishwasher will ruin your glasses before long. So by buying a glasswasher you are actually saving money by ensuring longer life of your glasses. These are some of the reasons behind why the successful restaurateurs choose a glasswasher and an industrial dishwasher.
