Eswood ES160 Rack Conveyor Warewasher

Eswood ES160 Rack Conveyor Warewasher

The Eswood ES160 is a heavy-duty rack conveyor warewasher built for high-volume professional catering environments, capable of processing up to 175 racks per hour. Two conveyor speed settings are available — 110 racks per hour for quieter periods or 175 racks per hour at full pace — so operators can match machine output to actual service demand. Typical installations include clubs, function centres, reception venues, hotel bistro-restaurants and mid-size hospitals. Manufactured in Australia, the ES160 conforms to FSANZ safe food codes and carries both HACCP and WaterMark certifications, underpinning the highest health and sanitary standards in any dishroom.

The control system is mounted on top of the machine, positioned well clear of water splash zones, and combines start-stop operation with electronic temperature regulation and a dual-zone digital readout showing wash and rinse temperatures simultaneously. A rinse temperature interlock prevents the machine from operating until safe hygiene conditions are met. Full front and side panelling guards motors and electrical components during routine dishroom hosing, while a clutch-controlled conveyor drive and low-water protection on wash tank elements provide additional layers of operational reliability.

Key Benefits

• A throughput ceiling of 175 racks per hour keeps pace with peak service in large catering operations, reducing bottlenecks in the dishroom.
• Operator-selectable output of 110 or 175 racks per hour allows the machine to be dialled back during quieter service periods, saving energy and chemical costs.
• The rinse temperature interlock ensures every rack is processed under hygienically verified conditions, directly supporting HACCP compliance and consistent wash results.
• A rinse economiser pre-sets the exact volume of rinse water delivered regardless of fluctuations in supply pressure, cutting water waste while maintaining rinse quality.
• The control panel and all electrical components are positioned on top of the unit, away from splash zones, making them straightforward to access for servicing and minimising downtime.
• The clutch-controlled conveyor drive disengages if racks jam, protecting the mechanism from costly mechanical damage during busy service periods.
• Fully enclosed front and side panelling shields motors and electrical components from hosing and splashing during dishroom washdowns, extending the working life of the machine.
• Low-water protection on the wash tank heating elements prevents dry-fire damage, providing an important safeguard during continuous operation.
• A broad range of optional accessories — including blower dryers, extension hoods, entry and exit curves and an exit bench trip switch — allows the ES160 to be configured into a fully tailored conveyor system.
