CMA Dishmachines 180-TC 26 In. High Temperature Corner Pot and Pan Dishwasher, 27 In. Clearance, 60 Racks/Hour

The CMA Dishmachines 180-TC is a high temperature split-door pot and pan dishwasher in a corner configuration, where racks enter one side and exit at a right angle. Its 27 inch dish clearance swallows sheet pans, stock pots, and mixing bowls that a standard door machine cannot touch, yet the split-door design keeps the open-door height to 93-1/2 inches, a genuine advantage in kitchens with low ceilings. At 60 racks per hour with a 180°F sanitizing rinse, it lets your dish crew run everyday plates and the heaviest back-of-house wares through one machine parked in a corner footprint just 25-1/2 inches wide.

Split-Door Design with a 27-Inch Clearance

Split doors are the trick that makes this machine work under a normal ceiling. Each door folds in two sections as it opens, so the 180-TC offers a 27 inch dish clearance while the open-door height tops out at just 93-1/2 inches. A conventional tall-door machine with this much clearance would need substantially more overhead room to swing its doors. Full sheet pans stand upright in the 20 by 20 inch rack, stock pots ride through whole, and the 20-1/2 inch door opening still loads as easily as a standard dish machine.

Sixty Racks an Hour at 0.82 Gallons per Rack

Throughput matches CMA's standard door machines: 60 racks or 240 covers per hour on a 58-second cycle of 42 seconds wash, 12 seconds rinse, and a 4-second dwell. The difference is muscle. A 1 HP motor drives the pump at 68 gallons per minute, extra flow that helps strip baked-on and greasy soil from pans that would laugh off a lighter machine. Water use holds at 0.82 gallons per rack and 49.2 gallons per hour flat out, so washing your heaviest wares does not carry a heavy utility bill.

180°F Sanitizing Rinse with Safety Temp

The Safety Temp feature assures a 180°F sanitizing rinse on every cycle, sanitizing with heat rather than the chlorine chemicals a low temperature machine depends on. Supplied without a booster, the machine requires 180°F incoming water; the optional built-in 12 kW booster lets it sanitize from a 120°F to 140°F supply instead. An 8 gallon wash tank holds a minimum 155°F to 160°F, heated by a built-in chemical resistant industrial 7 kW element that shrugs off the detergent concentrations pot washing demands.

Soil Purging, Pull-Pin Arms, and a Delime Switch

Pot washing generates more debris than plate washing, and the automatic soil purging system is built for it: wash water is filtered continuously and debris collects in an external tray that pulls out for dumping in seconds. Interchangeable upper and lower spray arms release with a pull-pin, no tools, for quick rinse-outs at the sink. When hard water leaves scale behind, the built-in delime switch handles descaling on the spot, and CMA recommends water softened to 3.5 grains per gallon or less. Auto start/stop, automatic fill, a single point electrical connection, and a top mounted watertight control box with rack counter and temperature gauges round out the package, and the corner design is field convertible to straight-through if your layout changes. Two racks come included.
