Maidaid UT70e 700x700mm Rack Utensil Washer

The Maidaid UT70e is a rack-type utensil washer built around a 700 x 700mm rack footprint and an 850mm internal wash height. It is designed to handle the items that standard passthrough dishwashers and glasswashers cannot accommodate — large pots, gastronorm containers, sheet trays, colanders, and bulky utensils. Two vertically mounted wash pumps distribute pressure consistently across the full rack volume, which is a meaningful difference from single-pump machines when cleaning heavily soiled items at pace.

In a working kitchen, the UT70e is suited to sustained pot wash demand across a full service period rather than occasional use. Eleven selectable wash cycles allow operators to match the programme to the soil level at any point in the shift, which helps balance cleaning results with water and chemical consumption. The double-wall stainless steel cabinet and stainless chassis are built to cope with the physical environment of a busy pot wash area — moisture, knocks, and continuous loading. Soft-touch electronic controls keep the machine straightforward to operate, which reduces the learning curve when new staff are on pot wash.

Features that translate directly into operational value:

• Dual vertical wash pumps ensure thorough coverage across the full rack height
• 11 programmable cycles allow operators to match wash intensity to soil load
• Onboard chemical dosing pumps included — no separate dosing unit needed
• Gravity drain system removes the need for a drain pump
• WRAS-approved water inlet meets water safety compliance requirements
• Split door design supports efficient loading and unloading under service pressure

Installation requires a dedicated water supply, a gravity drain route from the waste outlet, and nearby chemical storage. The split door needs adequate clear space on the loading side — this is worth mapping out before the machine arrives. Steam output during extended back-to-back cycles can affect the pot wash environment, so ventilation in the area is worth reviewing. The machine's size and weight mean it is generally positioned against a wall or in a corner; confirm floor loading capacity and drain routes before delivery.

The UT70e is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations where pot washing runs continuously through service — contract catering, school and college kitchens, hotel banqueting back-of-house, and busy restaurant kitchens. If throughput is lighter and footprint is a constraint, a more compact utensil washer may be a better fit. For very high-volume sites running extended shifts with back-to-back cycles, a heavier-duty model with a larger rack capacity may be worth considering.

If you are working through whether this machine's cycle times, rack dimensions, and throughput capacity match your kitchen's actual demands, our team are glad to talk it through with you.
