Maidaid UT132e 1320 x 700mm Rack Utensil Washer

The Maidaid UT132e is a rack-type utensil washer built specifically for the pot wash end of a commercial kitchen. Where standard pass-through or undercounter dishwashers fall short — deep stockpots, full-size gastronorm trays, baking sheets, roasting tins, and the oversized utensils that pile up during busy service — this machine is designed to cope. The generously sized wash chamber accommodates items that simply would not fit elsewhere.

Pot wash is one of the most consistent sources of service bottlenecks in high-volume kitchens. The UT132e uses dual vertically mounted wash pumps to deliver thorough mechanical action across the full rack, which reduces the need for extended soaking of heavily soiled items. Eleven selectable wash cycles give operators the flexibility to match cycle length to the level of soiling — useful for maintaining throughput at peak times without over-running chemicals and water during quieter periods.

In day-to-day operation, several design features make a practical difference:

• Split door design makes loading and unloading straightforward, even with bulky items
• Soft-touch electronic controls require minimal staff training to operate confidently
• Onboard chemical dosing pumps are fitted as standard, removing the need for separate external dosing units
• Gravity waste system reduces mechanical complexity and simplifies servicing
• Double-wall stainless steel construction stands up to sustained heavy use

Installation requires a dedicated plumbing supply and waste connection. The gravity drain means the machine must be sited with an adequate fall to the drainage point — worth confirming during a site survey before delivery rather than after. The machine carries WRAS approval, which is relevant for sites subject to environmental health or council compliance requirements. The footprint is substantial, so confirming doorway clearance and available floor space in the pot wash area before ordering is a sensible step.

The UT132e is well suited to kitchens turning over significant covers daily where consistent pot wash throughput is a priority — contract catering operations, education and healthcare sites, hotel kitchens, and larger independent restaurants. Kitchens with a lower volume of oversized items may find a smaller utensil washer sufficient, while very high-output central production kitchens may benefit from considering a heavier-duty alternative.
