Hobart Ecomax Plus C815-A Cold Feed Conveyor Dishwasher

The Hobart Ecomax Plus C815-A is a cold-feed conveyor dishwasher built for continuous, high-volume warewashing in commercial kitchens where a rack-at-a-time machine would become a bottleneck during service. Rather than processing items in discrete cycles, a conveyor machine moves crockery, glassware, and utensils through a wash and rinse tunnel on a continuous belt, allowing staff to load and unload simultaneously without interrupting the flow of clean ware back to the pass.

In a working kitchen environment, the C815-A is well suited to sustained peak demand. It can maintain consistent throughput across a long service without staff waiting between cycles, and the thermal rinse stage reaches a temperature that delivers the level of disinfection required under most environmental health frameworks — without relying solely on chemical sanitisers for that function. Wash results are consistent across mixed loads, which matters when a kitchen is running crockery, glassware, and utensils through the same machine simultaneously.

From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits include:

• Continuous throughput without cycle breaks, keeping clean ware moving throughout service
• Colour-coded removable components to simplify daily strip-down and cleaning
• Thermal rinse disinfection reducing dependence on chemical sanitisers at the rinse stage
• Consistent results across crockery, glassware, and utensils in a single pass
• Robust stainless steel construction suited to the rigours of continuous commercial use

Installation requires careful planning. This model connects to a cold water supply — if your site has a reliable hot water feed and you would prefer to use it, a hot-feed variant exists. At 220kg the machine places meaningful demands on floor loading, and the footprint means access routes, drainage provision, and kitchen layout should all be confirmed before delivery is arranged. Inlet and outlet tabling is sold separately and will need to be specified to suit your site. A survey before installation is strongly advisable, and organising this early will avoid delays.

The C815-A is commonly found in staff canteens, school kitchens, food courts, event catering facilities, and mid-to-large restaurant operations where warewashing volume justifies a conveyor format. For very high-volume sites — large contract catering operations or venues handling several thousand covers per service — a heavier-duty conveyor machine may be worth considering. For lower-volume operations, a hood-type dishwasher is likely to be a more proportionate and cost-effective solution.

If you are weighing up whether this model suits your service volumes, kitchen layout, or water supply setup, the team is glad to talk it through before you commit to anything.
