Product Description
The Hobart Ecomax Plus F515W is a hood-type rack dishwasher designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It accepts standard 500x500mm racks and is built to sustain the throughput demands that distinguish a genuine commercial machine from a scaled-up domestic unit. Manufactured in Germany, it carries Hobart's well-established reputation for mechanical reliability and consistent wash results across a full service.
In a busy kitchen, the F515W is capable of processing up to 40 racks per hour. Short cycle times keep turnaround tight during peak periods, and the machine delivers a rinse temperature sufficient for effective thermal sanitisation — a standard that hand-washing cannot reliably achieve. The coarse filter system, drain pump, and self-flushing cycle work together to maintain wash water quality throughout service, which has a direct bearing on wash consistency from the first rack to the last.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Thermal sanitisation at the rinse stage, supporting food hygiene compliance
- Automatic drain-down and self-flushing to maintain clean wash water during service
- Short cycle options to keep pace with demand at peak periods
- Coarse filter system that reduces manual intervention between cycles
- Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and straightforward cleaning
The F515W is hardwired and available in single or three-phase supply configurations — electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician before commissioning. In medium or hard water areas, an external water softener will be required to protect the machine and maintain wash quality; this is a separate supply item and should be included in the installation plan from the outset. At 60kg, positioning the unit will require more than one person, and adequate overhead clearance for the hood to lift fully should be confirmed at the planning stage.
The F515W is well suited to medium-volume operations — restaurants, cafés, staff canteens, and similar settings turning over a steady volume of covers across two or three sittings daily. For lighter-use environments, a smaller undercounter machine may be a more appropriate and cost-effective choice. Kitchens running extended services or very high cover counts should consider a heavier-duty model with greater hourly rack capacity.
If you would like to talk through whether the F515W is the right fit for your service volume or installation setup, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the F515W is well matched to medium-volume operations turning over a steady number of covers across multiple sittings. At up to 40 racks per hour, it handles the sustained throughput of a busy restaurant, café, or staff canteen without difficulty. If your kitchen runs very high cover counts or extended back-to-back services, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would be a better fit.
- The F515W is hardwired and requires a qualified electrician to complete the electrical connection before commissioning — it is available in single or three-phase supply configurations. You will also need to confirm sufficient overhead clearance for the hood to lift fully, and at 60kg the unit will need more than one person to position safely. In medium or hard water areas, an external water softener is a separate requirement and should be factored into your installation plan from the start.
- In medium or hard water areas, a water softener is strongly advisable — without one, limescale build-up will affect both wash quality and the long-term condition of internal components. It is a separate supply item rather than something included with the machine, so it needs to be planned and budgeted for alongside the installation. If you are unsure about your local water hardness, your installation team or a water treatment supplier can advise.
