Door Type Dishwashers
Some door-type dishwashers are also called pass-through dishwashers, because you can pass the rack straight through from one side to the other. Others are single-entry, meaning you load and unload the rack from the same side, so they are not considered pass-through models. Door-type dishwashers are typically a larger and more powerful option compared to undercounter dishwashers.
One important factor to consider is the interior clearance, which determines the maximum height of items you can load. This category includes both standard dishwashers and pot and pan washers. All of these machines are designed to clean one rack at a time. They feature counterbalanced lift-up doors that open together, allowing you to load a new rack while the previous one is pushed out.
Most door-type machines are designed for pass-through setups, but some can be installed in a corner configuration. In this case, the rack would be loaded from the front and removed from either the left or right side, depending on the layout.
These machines are available in both low temperature and high temperature models. Low temp dishwashers use cleaning chemicals instead of high heat, which will need to be replenished regularly. They are not as effective at removing grease and may require a second wash cycle for heavily soiled items.
High temp dishwashers clean using hot water between 180° and 195° Fahrenheit. They are generally more expensive but do a better job with grease and do not rely on chemical cleaners. Be sure to check if the model comes with a booster heater, which helps bring the water up to the proper temperature for sanitizing.
Pot and pan washers are commonly used in bakeries and any kitchen where large cookware needs regular cleaning. They use powerful spray jets to remove even tough, baked-on food. Their spacious interior allows you to load tall items with ease.
In many cases, the jets sit a few inches above the listed clearance, so you can often fit items that are slightly taller than the stated height. If you have questions or need help picking the right machine, give us a call. We are Canadian, so we are friendly!
