Pot Scrubbers

The IMC Pot Boy Mobile Trolley is a purpose-designed accessory for use alongside the IMC Pot Boy pot scrubbing machine. It is not a standalone piece of equipment — it works as part of a coordinated pot wash workflow, giving kitchen porters a stable, wheeled platform to move pots, pans, and gastronorm containers between the scrubber, the sink, and storage without repeated heavy lifting or improvised handling.

In a working pot wash area, the physical organisation of the space has a direct effect on both throughput and staff wellbeing. A matched trolley keeps dirty and clean ware moving predictably through the wash cycle, reduces the risk of items being stacked on the floor or balanced unsafely, and helps kitchen porters maintain a consistent pace even during the busiest service periods. The mobile base allows the trolley to be repositioned to suit the layout of the pot wash section or moved clear when the area needs cleaning down.

• Pairs directly with the IMC Pot Boy scrubbing machine for a coordinated workflow
• Mobile platform reduces lifting and double-handling throughout service
• Helps maintain an organised, safer pot wash area at peak times
• Repositionable to suit different kitchen layouts and cleaning routines
• Reduces physical strain on kitchen porters during high-volume periods

As an accessory, no utility connections are required. The main practical consideration before ordering is confirming compatibility with your specific Pot Boy model, and ensuring the pot wash area has sufficient clear floor space for the trolley to operate effectively alongside the machine.

This trolley is well suited to any operation already running the IMC Pot Boy system where a purpose-built handling solution is preferable to an improvised one. At very high pot wash volumes, it is worth considering whether additional handling equipment would further support throughput.

If you are putting together or reviewing a pot wash setup and want to be sure everything works well as a system, we are happy to help you think it through.

The IMC Pot Boy is a wall-mounted mechanical scrubbing unit designed to remove burnt-on food, grease, and stubborn residue from pots, pans, trays, and large cookware that cannot pass through a dishwasher. A rotating scrubber head does the heavy work, while a foot-operated switch keeps both hands free to safely handle and manoeuvre the item being cleaned.

Manual pot washing is one of the most physically demanding tasks in a commercial kitchen, particularly at the end of a long service when staff are already tired and the pile of heavy-gauge pans is at its deepest. The Pot Boy substantially reduces both the effort and time involved. Scrubber heads are available in nylon and Magicut formats to suit different cleaning requirements, and both are replaceable when worn — which keeps ongoing costs modest and removes the need to replace the whole unit.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Foot-operated switch leaves both hands free for safe handling of heavy cookware
• Wall-mounted design keeps the pot wash area clear of worktop and floor space
• Replaceable scrubber heads help contain long-term running costs
• Compatible with a separately available trolley for in-situ cleaning of fixed equipment such as griddles, brat pans, and ranges
• Low power draw relative to the manual labour it replaces

Installation is straightforward. The unit mounts to a wall at the pot wash station — typically above or beside a sink — and requires a standard electrical connection. It takes up no floor or worktop space, which makes it practical even where the pot wash area is tight. If you intend to use it for cleaning fixed equipment in-situ, the compatible trolley should be factored into your layout from the start.

The Pot Boy suits kitchens that handle a consistent volume of heavy cookware each service. Pubs, restaurants, school kitchens, and contract catering operations tend to find it earns its place quickly. At very high-throughput sites where pot washing is a persistent bottleneck, it is worth considering whether a supplementary approach would serve you better.

This is the replacement nylon brush head for the IMC Pot Boy automatic pot scrubbing machine. The nylon bristle construction delivers a moderately gentle scrubbing action, making it appropriate for routine cleaning of pots, pans, and gastronorm trays where surface marking is a concern.

Brush head condition has a direct effect on how the Pot Boy performs day to day. A worn or degraded head reduces scrubbing effectiveness, slows throughput, and pushes more manual effort back onto pot wash staff — something that becomes particularly noticeable during and after a busy service. Replacing the head at the right interval keeps the machine performing consistently and maintains a predictable pace through the pot wash cycle.

• Suited to routine daily cleaning of pots, pans, and gastronorm trays
• Appropriate where a softer bristle action helps avoid marking cookware surfaces
• Supports consistent throughput in high-volume pot wash setups

It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific Pot Boy model before ordering, as IMC has produced variants of the machine over the years. Where the workload regularly involves heavily burnt-on residue or more aggressive soiling, a stiffer brush material may be better matched to that demand.

If you are unsure whether this is the right head for your machine or your cleaning requirements, the team is happy to help you confirm the correct choice before you order.
