I. Types of Dishwashers
At present, there are many kinds of dishwashers, and the common classification methods are:
According to the use, it is divided into commercial dishwashers and domestic dishwashers.
1. Commercial dishwashers are widely used in various fields of business, such as hotels, restaurants and restaurants. , characterized by high temperature, disinfection, high intensity and short time treatment, including conveyor dishwasher, flying dishwasher, door dishwasher and desktop dishwasher;
2. Household dishwashers are only suitable for household use, mainly including cabinet, desktop and sink. Desktop dishwashers are minicomputers, and the washing capacity generally does not exceed 5 sets. Cabinet dishwashers are divided into 45cm and 60cm cabinets, and the washing capacity is divided into 8 sets and 12 sets. The sink dishwasher integrates the functions of sink and dishwasher, with the same size as the sink and a washing capacity of 6 sets.
According to the structure, it can be divided into desktop, cabinet and sink integrated.
The desktop dishwasher has compact structure, small occupied space, small capacity and flexible placement.
Cabinet dishwasher has standardized size and large capacity, which is suitable for matching with the whole kitchen.
The overall size of the sink is the same as that of the sink, and its volume is small, so it is suitable for China kitchen without changing water into electricity.
According to the installation method, it is divided into: independent and embedded.
Embedded installation is integrated with kitchen cabinet.
Freestyle and random placement.
According to the washing method, it is divided into spray type and vortex type.
In the spray type, the dog is used to spray water up, down, left and right to achieve the purpose of cleaning;
Scroll dishwashers are more common in household dishwashers and ultrasonic dishwashers.
According to the control mode, it can be divided into electromechanical control and electronic control.
Electromechanical control is a traditional control mode, and the core control device is electromechanical program controller, which has stable and reliable performance.
Electronic control is a control device with single chip microcomputer as the core, which is more flexible in programming and more diversified in the display of colleagues' working status, and is increasingly favored by people.
According to the transportation mode, it can be divided into: blue transmission type, oblique insertion type, flat mesh belt type and uncovered type.
1. blue light transmission type is often used in household dishwashers. Because of its relatively low investment cost and relatively troublesome operation, customers in restaurants and canteens have gradually faded out of the dishwasher market. At present, it is only widely used in the five-piece set of tableware disinfection and distribution company;
2. Commercial dishwashers mostly use oblique plug-in type. At present, the market reflects different quality, but there is a dead angle in cleaning larger tableware and plates, so they should not be placed too close;
3. The flat mesh belt method is widely used in commercial dishwashers. At present, the market performance is good, and it has a good cleaning effect on tableware with a width of no more than 780 cm and a height of no more than 60 cm. Because of the different shapes and sizes of tableware, the cleaning speed is slightly different, which is the best choice for restaurants, canteens and restaurants. , representing the most advanced technical level of commercial dishwashers;
4. At present, domestic dishwashers generally use open-top dishwashers, and commercial dishwashers are less and less used in business because of the limitation of washing capacity and washing speed.
Specification selection: the specification of dishwasher is usually divided by the size of power consumption, and also by the effective cellar where dishes are stored in the machine. Dishwashers without heating and drying devices have little power, only a few tens of watts; Dishwashers with heating and drying function have powers of 600W, 700W, 800W, 900W, 1000W, 1200W, etc. As for how much power to choose a dishwasher is appropriate, it is mainly based on the family population and the habit of using dishes. Generally speaking, 700W—900W dishwasher is more suitable for families with 3-4 people.
Second, the choice of dishwasher
1. When choosing a dishwasher, you should first consider safety and safety first. Secondly, considering the types and specifications of dishwashers, there are four washing methods of dishwashers: pulsator, jet, rinse and ultrasonic. At present, there are impeller type and jet type, which have simple structure, good washing effect, low price and simple maintenance, and are suitable for ordinary families. In terms of specifications (usually expressed in terms of power consumption), it is more appropriate for a family of 3-4 to choose a dishwasher with 700-900 watts.
2. Dishwashers have many functions, and ordinary families only need to have washing, rinsing, drying and automatic programming functions. At the same time, you can also buy a dishwasher with quick washing, flushing, rinsing and rotary spraying functions. The advantages of this kind of machine are clean, safe and reliable, and self-circulating, but the price is more expensive. In recent years, dishwashers with microcomputer control, bubble pulsating water flow, double rotating spray arms, sensor detection and other functions have also been introduced in the market, and consumers can choose according to their own conditions.
3. There are two kinds of cupboard doors for washing dishes: front open and uncovered. Dishwasher without cover is inconvenient to take and put tableware, and the top space can't be fully utilized. The front door dishwasher can easily pull out the bowl basket when the cupboard door is opened, which is very convenient for taking and placing tableware. Therefore, from the convenience point of view, if there is no special requirement, it is generally more suitable to choose a dishwasher that opens the door. When shopping, we should also pay attention to the shelves with bowls as the mainstay and plates as the supplement, which is more convenient to use.
4. Check whether the door buckle of the dishwasher is moderately elastic, firm and reliable, check whether the welding of the bowl basket is firm, whether there is no sharp edge around the machine and the door handle, whether the roller at the bottom is flexible, and whether the bowl basket is easy to pull out without being stuck. Turn the program controller by hand to ensure that the program controller is stable and consistent during operation. The selector switch of dishwasher should be flexible and reliable.
5. When the dishwasher is turned on, its insulation performance is particularly important. Make sure there is no electricity leakage or water leakage. The water pump and motor run smoothly, with little vibration and low noise. Dishwasher has various functions, such as easy key switch, good contact and even and powerful water spraying. Tableware should be clean after washing, and the power supply can be automatically cut off after operation.
6. When choosing a commercial dishwasher, you need to carefully shop around in terms of price, performance and practicality according to different uses. In view of the mature technology, the most advanced flat dishwasher is a good choice if it is not limited by the investment budget.
7, look at the brand: it is very important to choose the right dishwasher brand. First of all, its products are usually recognized by the public and the quality is more reliable. Secondly, a good brand has a high-quality after-sales service system. If there is a problem with the parts, you only need to call the after-sales phone to repair them, and the manufacturer even provides exchange and return services, which is guaranteed.
8. Buy suitable accessories: Dishwashers need to use special cleaning agents/blocks, whitening agents, etc. When ordinary detergent is working, there may be problems of foam washing. In addition, due to the hard water quality in northern China, soft water salt should be used to prevent the damage of water and alkali to tableware.
