Product Description
The Hobart Ecomax Plus F515W is a hood-type rack dishwasher designed for continuous use in busy commercial kitchens. It accepts standard 500x500mm racks and is built to handle the sustained throughput demands that separate a true commercial machine from a scaled-up domestic unit. Manufactured in Germany, it carries Hobart's established reputation for mechanical reliability and consistent wash results.
In service, the F515W is capable of processing up to 40 racks per hour, making it a practical choice for kitchens running two or three sittings daily. Short cycle times keep turnaround tight during peak periods, and the machine delivers a rinse temperature sufficient for effective thermal sanitisation — a standard that hand-washing cannot reliably achieve. The drain pump, coarse filter, and self-flushing cycle work together to maintain water quality throughout a service, which has a direct bearing on wash consistency rack after rack.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Thermal sanitisation at rinse stage, supporting food hygiene compliance
- Automatic drain-down and self-flushing to maintain clean wash water throughout service
- Short cycle options to keep pace with demand during busy periods
- Coarse filter system that reduces manual intervention between cycles
- Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
The F515W is hardwired and available in single or three-phase supply configurations at 25A — electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician before commissioning. It is worth noting that in medium or hard water areas, an external water softener will be required to protect the machine and maintain wash quality; this is a separate supply item and should be factored into the installation plan. At 60kg, positioning the unit will require more than one person, and adequate clearance for the hood to lift fully should be confirmed at the planning stage.
The F515W is well suited to medium-volume operations — restaurants, cafés, staff canteens, and similar settings turning over a steady volume of covers without the demands of a very high-capacity site. For lighter-use environments a smaller undercounter machine may be more appropriate, while higher-volume kitchens or those running extended services should consider a heavier-duty model with greater hourly rack capacity.
If you are unsure whether the F515W is the right fit for your service volume or installation setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At up to 40 racks per hour, the F515W handles steady, sustained throughput well and is a practical choice for medium-volume restaurants and cafés. If your kitchen runs extended services or very high cover counts back-to-back, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would serve you better before purchasing.
- The machine is hardwired and requires a 25A supply — available in single or three-phase — so a qualified electrician will need to prepare the connection before commissioning. You will also need to account for a water supply and drain connection, adequate overhead clearance for the hood, and if you are in a medium or hard water area, an external water softener is required to protect the machine and maintain wash performance.
- In medium or hard water areas, scale build-up will affect both wash quality and the longevity of internal components, so an external water softener is required in those situations — it is not included with the machine and needs to be sourced separately. You can check your local water hardness through your water supplier, or we can advise based on your location if you get in touch before ordering.
