Product Overview
The Washtech CD180 is a 3 stage rack conveyor dishwasher built for high volume. Racks feed onto a powered conveyor and move through a pre-wash stage, a main wash stage, then a sanitising rinse stage, so staff load and unload without stopping the machine. It clears up to 180 racks or 3240 plates an hour, using a 600mm pre-wash module with a 1.5HP pump ahead of the 1200mm wash module with a 2.0HP pump. An auto start idles the machine when no racks are passing through, so it only runs when it is working.
Washtech is made in New Zealand and distributed in Australia by Moffat, and the CD180 carries the Washtech 5-2-2 promise: 5 years on the cabinet, 2 years on the wash pump and 2 years comprehensive parts and labour. It runs on 415V three phase power, so an electrician makes the final connection, and it needs an exhaust canopy over the machine. A condenser, or heat recovery, version is available if an exhaust is not possible.
Best for: high volume kitchens, function centres and institutions that push large rack volumes and want the extra throughput of a pre-wash stage.

Does the CD180 need an exhaust canopy?
Yes. A rack conveyor pushes a lot of steam, so an exhaust canopy is required over the machine, with a typical minimum extraction of 170L/sec. If an exhaust is not possible on your site, a condenser version is available that captures the steam, ask us about the heat recovery option.
Does it need an electrician and a plumber?
Both. The CD180 runs on 415V three phase power at 27A per phase, so an electrician hardwires it and the isolating switch sits within 1m of the machine. It connects to hot water and drains through a 1.5″ BSP connection to a 50mm minimum drain line, so a plumber sets up the water and waste.
How does the conveyor work?
Racks load onto the conveyor at one end and are drawn through the pre-wash, wash and rinse automatically, then out the other end. Staff keep loading and unloading without stopping the machine, which is what lets it hold a steady 180 racks an hour. An auto start idles the machine when no racks are passing, so it is not heating and running for nothing.
What is the difference between the CD120, CD180 and CD240?
They step up in stages and throughput. The CD120 is 2 stage: wash then rinse, at 120 racks an hour. The CD180 is 3 stage: pre-wash, wash then rinse, at 180 racks an hour. The CD240 is 4 stage: pre-wash, wash, pre-rinse then rinse, at 240 racks an hour. More stages give a better result at higher speed, so choose the model to match your peak rack volume.
