Maidaid Evolution 2135 WS HR Pass Through Dishwasher 500mm Basket

The Maidaid Evolution 2135 WS HR is a 500mm basket pass through dishwasher built for commercial kitchens that need reliable, continuous throughput during service. It comes fitted as standard with a heat recovery module, an internal continuous water softener, and a drain pump — equipment that on many comparable machines would be optional extras. The result is a machine that arrives ready to work in a wide range of kitchen environments without requiring additional purchases to reach a practical specification.

In operation, the 2135 is well suited to kitchens running consistent covers through a lunch and evening service. The triple wash tank filtration and parallel wash and rinse arm arrangement help maintain wash quality as the volume builds, and the moulded wash tank makes end-of-service cleaning straightforward rather than a drawn-out task. The machine's comprehensive automatic self-cleaning cycle at the close of service reduces the manual effort required from the kitchen team.

The heat recovery system recaptures energy from exhaust steam and uses it to pre-heat incoming rinse water, which reduces the power needed to bring that water up to temperature. This also has a secondary benefit: less steam is released into the kitchen, which can reduce the load on your extraction system and improve the working environment around the machine. The built-in water softener handles a broad range of water hardness levels, which is a practical consideration in many parts of the UK where limescale build-up is a genuine operational concern.

Key operational advantages include:

• Heat recovery reducing energy demand during rinse cycles
• Internal water softener protecting components and wash quality in hard water areas
• Drain pump enabling flexible installation where a gravity drain is not viable
• Selectable cycle times allowing the machine to be tailored to your service pattern
• Automatic end-of-service self-clean reducing post-service labour

On the installation side, this is a pass through machine, so you will need adequate infeed and outfeed tabling — these are not supplied with the machine. Space planning around the unit is important, particularly the hood clearance at the outfeed end. The heat recovery module does reduce the steam load compared to a standard machine, but extraction provision should still be assessed for the site. The drain pump gives flexibility on drain positioning, which is useful in kitchens where the drain point is not directly beneath the machine.

The 2135 WS HR is a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and staff dining facilities running a consistent volume of covers. It sits in the mid-range of the Evolution pass through lineup — sites with significantly higher throughput demands may find a higher-capacity model a better long-term fit, while smaller operations may not need the full specification this machine offers.
