This is a 500mm square wire plate basket designed for use in commercial rack or pass-through dishwashers that take a 500mm basket format. The frame is plastic-coated wire, which protects both the basket structure and the crockery it carries during the wash cycle.

In a busy kitchen environment, plate baskets take a considerable amount of daily punishment — loaded, unloaded, stacked, and pushed through the machine repeatedly across a full service. A well-constructed wire basket holds its shape under this routine use and keeps plates stable during the wash, reducing the risk of chips or breakage from plates shifting mid-cycle.

The plastic coating serves a practical purpose beyond corrosion resistance: it softens the contact points between the wire and the plate rim, which helps protect crockery over time. It also makes the basket easier to handle and stack when hot.

  • Compatible with standard 500mm commercial dishwasher and warewasher systems
  • Plastic coating protects crockery and resists corrosion
  • Open wire construction allows water and detergent to reach all surfaces
  • Stable plate positioning reduces movement and breakage during washing
  • Straightforward to clean and dry between service periods

This basket is suited to most food service operations running a 500mm machine — from restaurant and pub kitchens to staff canteens and event catering. If your site runs particularly high plate volumes or operates multiple machines, it is worth considering whether a larger basket inventory would better support your throughput.

If you are unsure whether this basket is compatible with your existing machine or need to discuss quantities for a full kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Will this basket fit my existing commercial dishwasher?

This basket is designed for machines that accept a 500mm square basket format, which is one of the most common sizes in commercial warewashing. If you are unsure of your machine's basket specification, check the manufacturer documentation or contact us with the machine model and we can advise.

How many plate baskets should a busy kitchen keep in rotation?

Most operations benefit from having several baskets in rotation so that loading, washing, and unloading can run continuously without waiting. The right number depends on your service volume and how quickly your machine cycles — kitchens running back-to-back covers typically need more baskets on hand than those with clearly defined service periods.

How should wire plate baskets be maintained to prolong their life?

Rinsing baskets after service and allowing them to dry fully helps prevent residue build-up and prolongs the coating. Check periodically for any areas where the plastic coating has worn or cracked, as exposed wire is more prone to corrosion and can mark crockery over time.
