The CMA Dishmachines EST-FL Door-Type Dishwasher
The CMA Dishmachines EST-FL is a low temperature, chemical sanitizing front loading dishwasher that packs full 40 racks per hour output into just 5.06 square feet of floor space. It suits coffee shops, bars, small cafes, and satellite kitchens that need real warewashing capacity but have nowhere to put dishtables and a conventional door machine.
5.06 Square Feet of Floor Space
With a footprint of only 25-1/4" square, the EST-FL takes about 75% less floor space than a traditional dishmachine installation. Where a door type machine demands landing tables on both sides and an undercounter forces staff to crouch at floor level, this unit stands upright against a wall or in a corner and works from the front. That compact, space-saving design lets you claim back prep counter and storage room in a kitchen where every square foot pays rent.
Front Loading Door at Working Height
The front loading door places the rack at a natural working height, so loading and unloading happen without bending or reaching over a hood. A 20-3/4" door opening and 16" of dish clearance swallow plates, glassware, and taller pans, and the inside sump design keeps all of it within the cabinet footprint. Your dishwasher on a double shift will feel the difference by closing time.
40 Racks per Hour on 1.09 Gallons per Cycle
Each 90-second cycle runs a 53-second wash, a 30-second pumped fresh water rinse, and a 7-second dwell, adding up to 40 standard 20" x 20" racks per hour. The water saving design uses just 1.09 gallons per cycle, so an evening of steady racks draws only 43.6 gallons. A powerful 1 HP stainless steel pump rated at 52 GPM feeds upper and lower wash arms, scouring ware from both sides at once instead of relying on a single spinning arm.
Three-Product Dispensing and Chemical Sanitizing
Top mounted controls include an automatic three-product dispensing system that meters detergent, rinse aid, and sanitizer every cycle, which keeps results consistent no matter who is running the dish station. Low temperature chemical sanitizing needs only a 120°F minimum water supply, with 140°F ideal, and the whole machine runs on a standard 115 V circuit. An internal power drain, a built-in Poly Pro scrap accumulator with stainless steel tray and cover, and a self-cleaning pump screen round out the package, and interchangeable components shared with other CMA products simplify parts stocking. One peg rack and one flat rack are included.
