Maidaid C201D 500mm Basket Pass Through Dishwasher With Drain Pump

The Maidaid C201D is a pass-through dishwasher designed for continuous use in commercial kitchen environments. It takes standard 500mm baskets and operates on a pass-through configuration, meaning racks are loaded on one side and collected clean on the other — a practical layout for kitchens where throughput and workflow separation matter. The inclusion of a drain pump makes it suitable for installations where the machine cannot drain by gravity alone, giving more flexibility over where it sits in the kitchen.

In a busy service environment, consistent cleaning performance and reliable recovery between cycles are what operators rely on. The C201D is built around a triple filtration system that keeps wash water cleaner for longer, reducing the risk of redepositing soil on crockery and cutting down on manual intervention during a shift. The 18-plate capacity rack supports a reasonable throughput for a machine of this class, and the range of available wash cycles means the machine can be matched to load type rather than running a single programme regardless of what is being washed.

From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages include:

• Low water consumption per cycle, which contributes to reduced utility costs over time
• Triple filtration reducing pump wear and extending service intervals
• Drain pump fitted as standard, removing the need for a gravity drain position
• Single LED display with straightforward controls, keeping staff training time low
• Easy-access wash arm and tank removal for end-of-day cleaning

On installation, the C201D is available in single-phase and three-phase configurations, so it is worth confirming your available supply before ordering. The 47cm hood clearance suits most standard pass-through bench setups, but measuring your intended inlet and outlet table heights against the machine opening is advisable before installation. As with any pass-through machine, adequate space either side for dirty and clean rack staging should be factored into the layout plan.

This machine is well suited to mid-volume operations — restaurants, cafés, contract catering sites, and similar environments running a consistent cover count through service. It is a practical choice where a hood dishwasher is impractical but a single-tank undercounter machine would struggle to keep pace. For very high-volume sites such as large hotels or event catering operations, a heavier-duty pass-through or rack conveyor machine may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the C201D is the right match for your service volume or installation setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
