Maidaid RX Series Rack Conveyor Dishwasher for Commercial Kitchens

The Maidaid RX Series is a range of rack conveyor dishwashers designed for high-volume commercial kitchens where throughput, consistency, and reliability across a full service period are the priority. The range is split into two tiers — the RX Evo and the RX Pro — each offering multiple base models and a selection of additional modules, allowing the system to be configured to suit the specific demands of the operation.

Rack conveyor dishwashers work by moving racks of crockery, glassware, or utensils continuously through wash and rinse zones, rather than running individual cycle-based programmes. This makes them well suited to sites where the dishwash operation needs to keep pace with service rather than create a bottleneck. The RX Evo range covers operations with more moderate throughput requirements, while the RX Pro range steps up capacity significantly and introduces variable rack speed control, giving operators more flexibility to adjust throughput in response to demand.

Both ranges support a number of additional modules that can be specified at the point of order or planned into the installation from the outset. These include corner pre-wash sections, inline and corner drying modules, steam extraction, and heat recovery. The practical advantages this modular approach offers include:

• Ability to match the machine configuration precisely to available floor space and workflow direction
• Heat recovery options that can reduce running costs over time
• Integrated drying to reduce manual handling and labour after the wash cycle
• Corner configurations that make the most of constrained or awkwardly shaped wash areas
• In-service strainer removal on select Pro models, reducing downtime during a busy service

Installation of a rack conveyor system is a significant undertaking. These machines require adequate drainage, a suitable water supply, and in most cases a connected ventilation or extraction arrangement to manage steam. The physical footprint — even at the smaller end of the range — is considerably larger than a hood or undercounter machine, and access for servicing and cleaning needs to be factored into the layout from the start. Wash arm assemblies on both ranges are removable, which simplifies routine cleaning and helps maintain wash quality over time.

The RX Series is best suited to high-volume operations: contract caterers, university and hospital catering facilities, large hotel kitchens, staff restaurants, and event or banqueting venues where consistent dishwash throughput is operationally critical. Smaller or lower-volume sites would typically be better served by a hood-type or undercounter machine. Conversely, very large central production kitchens with exceptional throughput requirements may benefit from considering the upper end of the Pro range or discussing bespoke configuration options.

Given the range of configurations available and the installation implications involved, this is a product where a site-specific conversation is genuinely worthwhile before committing to a specification. If you'd like to talk through the options, the team is happy to help.
