Maidaid Passthrough Dishwashers

The Maidaid C205WS is a 500mm basket pass-through dishwasher fitted with an integrated drain pump and a built-in water softener. As a pass-through machine, ware loads in from one side and exits the other, which supports a clean, linear workflow at the dishwash station rather than the back-and-forth pattern of a hood-type machine. It is designed for continuous commercial service where consistent hygiene and reliable throughput are required across a full shift.

In practical use, the C205WS holds its own in mid-to-high volume operations. A triple filtration system reduces the risk of food soils redepositing onto clean ware and helps protect pump performance during long, uninterrupted service runs. Nine selectable wash cycles give operators the flexibility to match cycle intensity to the ware being washed — useful when the same machine handles both robust service crockery and more delicate items across a shift.

The built-in water softener is a meaningful advantage in hard water areas, which cover much of the UK. Scale accumulation shortens element and pump life and degrades wash quality over time; having softening handled internally removes the need for a separate inline unit, simplifying both the installation and the ongoing maintenance picture. The drain pump means the machine is not dependent on gravity drainage, which gives more flexibility when positioning the unit within the kitchen.

Key operational advantages include:

• Integrated water softener — no separate external unit required in hard water areas
• Drain pump allowing flexible positioning relative to the drain outlet
• Triple filtration for consistent wash results and reduced pump wear
• Nine wash cycles to suit mixed ware types across a service
• Partial double-skin construction helping retain heat during operation

Installation requires a hardwired electrical supply, a mains cold water feed, and a suitable drain connection. The machine is available in single-phase and three-phase configurations depending on your site. The 500mm basket accepts standard commercial racks. In tighter kitchens, it is worth confirming that the hood opening height accommodates the tallest ware you intend to run through it before ordering.

The C205WS is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and staff dining facilities with regular, sustained dishwashing demand. It is not the right choice for very high-volume banqueting or central production environments, where a larger-capacity pass-through would be more appropriate. For smaller operations with lighter daily demand, a hood-type machine may be a better-proportioned and more cost-effective fit.

If you are weighing up whether a pass-through configuration suits your site layout or want to talk through service volume requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Maidaid Evolution 2160 HR is a three-phase rack pass through dishwasher built for sites where throughput, water quality, and energy efficiency all need to be managed simultaneously. It comes with an internal water softener, drain pump, and heat recovery module as part of the standard package — meaning the key operational requirements are addressed out of the box rather than treated as optional extras.

In busy service environments, the machine is designed to handle the sustained demand that mid-to-high volume kitchens place on warewashing. The triple wash and rinse arm configuration, combined with a powerful wash pump and triple tank filtration, supports consistent wash quality across consecutive cycles without a significant drop in performance during peak periods. The moulded wash tank and scrap tray filters are practical inclusions that simplify the end-of-service clean-down process, which is often the part kitchens have least time for.

The heat recovery system is one of the more operationally significant features on this machine. By recovering heat that would otherwise be vented into the kitchen, it reduces both the energy required to heat rinse water and the thermal load on the working environment — which in a smaller or less well-ventilated kitchen can make a meaningful difference to staff comfort and extraction requirements. This does not eliminate the need for an extraction hood entirely, but it can reduce the specification needed.

Key operational benefits include:

• Internal water softener removes the need for an external softener unit and reduces scale build-up
• Heat recovery reduces energy draw on rinse heating and lowers ambient heat output
• Selectable cycle times allow programmes to be tailored to service patterns
• Automatic self-cleaning at the end of service reduces manual intervention
• Polychromatic LCD display and self-diagnostic alerts support straightforward operation and fault identification

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which is a firm prerequisite. The machine also needs appropriate water supply and drainage connections, and the drain pump means it is not reliant on gravity drainage alone — useful where drainage points are not ideally positioned. As with all pass through machines of this class, inlet and outlet tabling will need to be specified and sourced separately to suit your kitchen layout. The double-skinned hood and body construction reduces both heat loss and noise output, which is worth factoring in if the machine is positioned close to a service area.

The 2160 HR is well suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, staff restaurants, and mid-to-large hospitality venues where a sustained volume of crockery, glassware, and cutlery needs to move through warewashing reliably across a full service. For lower-volume sites, a smaller undercounter or hood machine may be more appropriate and more economical to run. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth discussing whether a larger capacity machine would better match the throughput required.

If you are unsure whether this model is right for your service volume or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

The Maidaid C201D is a 500mm pass-through dishwasher designed for continuous commercial use. Racks are loaded dirty on one side and collected clean on the other, keeping soiled and clean ware separated and supporting a more organised wash-up workflow during busy service periods. It occupies the practical middle ground between an undercounter machine and a full conveyor, making it a common choice where throughput demands have outgrown what a single undercounter can reliably deliver.

What distinguishes a capable pass-through from one that struggles through a full service is how consistently it maintains wash quality across the shift. The C201D uses a triple filtration system to keep wash water cleaner for longer, reducing the risk of soil redeposition and limiting the need for staff to intervene mid-service. A range of wash cycles allows the programme to be matched to the load, so lighter wares are not being run on the same cycle as heavily soiled items — which helps manage cycle time and water consumption sensibly across a shift.

Day-to-day operational advantages worth noting:

• Triple filtration sustains wash water quality and reduces pump wear throughout service
• Drain pump fitted as standard, allowing flexible siting without a gravity drain position
• Multiple wash cycles let staff match programme to load type and soil level
• LED controls keep the interface simple and staff training requirements low
• Removable wash arms and accessible tank make end-of-shift cleaning straightforward

The included drain pump is a practical consideration for kitchens where machine placement does not allow gravity drainage — a common constraint on older or refitted sites. The machine is available in single-phase and three-phase configurations, so confirming your electrical supply before ordering is important. When planning the installation, allow adequate bench space on both sides for dirty and clean rack staging; this is frequently underestimated and has a real effect on how smoothly the machine integrates into the wash-up area.

The C201D suits restaurants, cafés, staff restaurants, and contract catering operations running a consistent cover count through service. For very high-volume environments — large hotels, busy canteens, or event catering — a heavier-duty pass-through model is likely the more appropriate fit, and it is worth discussing your peak demand before deciding.

If you would like to talk through whether this machine is the right match for your volume and installation, the team is happy to work through the detail with you.

The Maidaid Evolution 2160 is a three-phase pass through dishwasher designed for high-volume commercial kitchens where throughput, reliability, and wash quality matter during every service period. Operating with a 500x600mm rack format, it handles a broad range of crockery, glassware, and cutlery loads, and is built around Maidaid's well-regarded Evolution platform — a range that has proven itself across hotels, restaurants, contract catering, and education sites throughout the UK.

In service, the machine performs consistently under sustained demand. The patented dual flow wash pump is designed to maintain effective wash action while keeping power consumption in check — useful in busy kitchens where the machine may be running almost continuously through lunch and dinner covers. The quick-release triple wash and rinse arm system improves coverage across the full rack area, and the triple-stage wash tank filtration reduces the carry-over of food debris that would otherwise compromise wash results over extended service periods. Recovery between cycles is supported by the dedicated boiler element, keeping rinse temperatures stable even when the machine is working hard.

Operationally, the 2160 has been designed with the kitchen team in mind:

• Polychromatic LCD display gives clear machine status at a glance, reducing operator guesswork
• Self-diagnostic and alarm menus help identify issues quickly without calling an engineer for minor faults
• Automatic end-of-service self-cleaning cycle reduces manual cleaning time for the wash-up team
• Double-skinned hood and body construction keeps noise levels manageable and retains heat within the machine
• Moulded wash tank and stainless steel scrap tray filters are straightforward to remove and clean
• Peristaltic dosing pumps for detergent and rinse aid are supplied as standard, supporting consistent chemical use and reducing waste

The machine requires a three-phase electrical supply and a mains water connection with adequate flow and pressure. A break tank is supplied as standard, which satisfies water regulations requirements without the need for a separate backflow prevention installation in most cases. The integral drain pump means the machine is not dependent on gravity drainage, which gives more flexibility in positioning — a practical advantage in kitchens where the drain point is not directly adjacent to the machine. Tabling for inlet and outlet is not included and will need to be specified separately; the correct table lengths will depend on your rack throughput requirements and available space. Adequate ventilation in the dishwash area remains important regardless of the machine's double-skin construction.

The Evolution 2160 is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, staff restaurants, and similar sites where a under counter or hood machine has been outgrown but where a full conveyor system would be excessive. The range of standard and special cycle options, along with adjustable cycle times, means it can be configured to suit the specific demands of your operation. For sites with significantly higher throughput requirements, larger capacity pass through or conveyor alternatives may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the 2160 is the right fit for your kitchen — in terms of service volume, installation requirements, or tabling configuration — our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Maidaid C205WSHR is a 500mm basket pass-through dishwasher designed for continuous use in commercial catering environments. It accepts a standard 500mm rack and moves ware through in a single pass, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need a clear separation between dirty and clean sides without interrupting service flow.

In a busy kitchen, a pass-through machine earns its keep during peak periods. The C205WSHR is built for sustained throughput rather than occasional use — the wash and rinse system, combined with the heat recovery unit, allows the machine to maintain consistent results cycle after cycle without significant energy or water waste. The integrated drain pump removes the reliance on a gravity drain, giving more flexibility in positioning where fall to drain is limited or awkward.

The built-in water softener is a practical inclusion. Hard water causes limescale build-up on wash arms, tank elements, and rinse nozzles — all of which degrade wash quality over time and increase maintenance intervals. Having softening on board removes the need for a separate external unit and helps protect the machine in areas with hard or moderately hard water supply.

• Heat recovery reduces energy consumption during extended service periods
• Integrated water softener protects internal components in hard water areas
• Drain pump allows flexible positioning without gravity drain dependency
• Triple filtration system maintains wash quality and protects the pump
• Single LED display with multiple cycle options suits varied ware types

Installation requires a connection to a mains water supply, a drain point, and an appropriate electrical supply — the specification of which should be confirmed before ordering. The heat recovery system requires adequate ventilation in the installation space; this is worth factoring into kitchen planning, particularly in enclosed wash-up areas. Weight and hood clearance should also be checked against your existing pass-through run or counter height.

The C205WSHR suits mid-sized operations — restaurants, hotel kitchens, workplace canteens, and similar — where a hood-type undercounter machine would struggle to keep pace but a full conveyor system would be disproportionate. If your covers are higher or your service is near-continuous across multiple sittings, a larger-capacity pass-through model may be worth considering. Equally, if your operation is smaller and a pass-through format is more than you need, a good-quality hood machine may be a more cost-effective fit.

If you're unsure whether the C205WSHR is correctly sized for your service volume or whether your installation space and services are compatible, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
