CMA Dishmachines EST-VL 25 In. Ventless Door Type Dishwasher, Heat Recovery System, Built-In Booster Heater, 30 Racks/Hour

The CMA Dishmachines EST-VL is a ventless, low temperature, chemical sanitizing door type dishwasher that recovers its own waste heat instead of exhausting it through a hood. It is the machine for basements, historic buildings, food halls, and leased spaces where running ductwork is impossible or the hood quote alone would sink the project, since no vent hood is required and the ventless process eliminates both the hood installation cost and its annual operating cost.

Waste Air Heat Recovery with No Vent Hood Required

The HR System captures the heat and water vapor that would normally roll out when the doors open and uses that energy to preheat incoming water. A high tech condensation method then converts the remaining vapor to water and evacuates the wash chamber at the end of the cycle, so the operator opens the doors to warm, dry dishes rather than a face full of steam. Compared with venting all that energy up a hood, recovery puts it back to work and leaves the dishroom safer and more comfortable.

Built-In Booster Heater and Three-Door Design

A built-in 12 kW booster heater holds proper wash and rinse temperatures without taxing your facility hot water supply, and because the incoming water is already preheated by the HR System, the booster spends less energy reaching its required 120°F. The three-door system installs straight-thru or in a corner, so the same machine fits an in-line dish table or an L-shaped pit. Inside, 20-1/2" of dish clearance takes standard 20" x 20" racks loaded with trays, pans, and tall glassware.

30 Racks per Hour on 1.09 Gallons per Rack

Each load runs a 90-second wash cycle followed by a 30-second chamber purge, producing 30 racks per hour while using just 1.09 gallons of water per rack, or 33 gallons per hour of continuous operation. A 1 HP wash pump drives 52 GPM through upper and lower stainless steel wash arms. The Auto Start System and programmable three-product dispensing meter detergent, rinse aid, and sanitizer on every cycle, so results stay consistent from the lunch rush to the closing shift.

Door Safety Interlock and Automatic Condenser Cleaning

The Door Safety Interlock System keeps all doors locked through the entire cycle, giving the HR System time to evacuate vapor before anyone can open the machine. An Automatic HR Condenser Cleaning System washes down the coil daily, so heat recovery performance does not fade as soil builds. Stainless steel construction carries through the chamber and wash arms, and the machine adds only 5,900 BTU/hr latent and 2,400 BTU/hr sensible heat to the room, a light load next to what an unhooded high temp machine would dump into your kitchen air.
