The CMA Dishmachines EST-44 Conveyor Dishwasher
The CMA Dishmachines EST-44 is a 44" conveyor dishwasher rated at 249 racks per hour, built for hospital traylines, school cafeterias, banquet houses, and any operation where a door type machine has become the bottleneck. It runs either high temperature or low temperature chemical sanitizing, so you can match it to your chemical program and hood situation rather than the other way around.
249 Racks per Hour at 0.46 Gallons per Rack
A rated capacity of 249 racks, or 996 covers, per hour moves ware on a 6.75 ft/min conveyor, so the dish crew feeds racks continuously instead of waiting on door cycles. Final rinse water use is just 0.46 gallons per rack, 114.54 gallons per hour at full output, which is remarkable economy for a machine washing this much ware. The automatic water control system and auto fill manage levels for you, and auto start/stop keeps pumps from running when no rack is in the chamber.
Multi-Stage Wash Process with Power Rinse
A dual tank design packs a 3-stage process into 44" of floor space: an 11.75 gallon wash tank, a 4.25 gallon power rinse tank, and a fresh water final rinse, 16.0 gallons of total tank capacity. Each tank feeds a 52 GPM pump, with a 1 HP wash pump and a 1/3 HP rinse pump doing the heavy work while a 1/8 HP motor drives the conveyor. A 13 kW wash tank heater and 3 kW rinse tank heater hold temperature through back-to-back racks, and these chemical resistant industrial heaters outlast the commercial grade elements found in lighter machines.
High Temperature or Low Temperature Sanitizing
Run high temp and the machine washes at 150°F to 160°F with a 160°F pumped rinse and a 180°F to 195°F final rinse. Run low temp and chemical sanitizing does the job at 140°F to 150°F across wash, pumped rinse, and final rinse, cutting the exhaust and water heating demands that come with thermal sanitizing. Your choice comes down to chemistry cost versus energy and ventilation cost, and this machine lets you make it.
Rack Saver Clutch and Automatic Soil Purging
The table limit switch and rack saver clutch system stop the drive before a jammed rack damages the machine, the dishracks, or your tables. An automatic soil purging system continuously filters wash water and traps plate debris in an external stainless steel tray that slides out for cleaning, so wash water stays effective deeper into service. The curtains remove easily for cleanup, the 19" opening accepts larger items and utensils, and all stainless steel construction, including the chemical injection chamber, handles years of daily chemical exposure. One open rack and one peg rack are included, and you specify left or right rack travel when ordering.
