Conveyor dishwashers are professional models with the highest capacity among industrial dishwashers. They are used in hotels, hospitals, canteens, factories, and large restaurant kitchens to manage heavy dishwashing traffic seamlessly. In these machines, dishes are placed on a conveyor belt and automatically pass through washing, rinsing, and drying sections.
Daily capacities start from 1,500 plates and can be increased up to 6,000 plates. Classified as industrial-type dishwashers, these models hygienically clean hundreds of plates, cutlery, pots, and trays in minutes.
Thanks to their capacity, energy efficiency, and fully automatic systems, they are the first choice of large-scale businesses among professional dishwashers.
Dishes are placed on the conveyor line using carrying baskets (racks). Ideal for medium-sized restaurants, hotels, and catering firms.
Plates, trays, and bowls are arranged directly on the conveyor belt. Capable of washing thousands of pieces per hour. Preferred by large canteens, hospitals, and production facilities.
These machines generally include the following systems: Wash motor, pre-wash motor, rinse pump, detergent and rinse-aid pumps, drying fan or hot air unit, and in some models, automatic water level control and heat recovery systems are also included. These features reduce operating costs by providing water and energy savings.

Conveyor dishwasher prices vary according to capacity, brand, presence of a drying system, energy type (electric or steam), and hardware features. Models with high washing capacity, heat recovery systems, and energy efficiency are in the higher price segment. Conversely, tunnel-type models designed for medium-sized businesses are more cost-effective. Models providing long life, low water consumption, and fast return on investment amortize the investment cost in a short time.
