Maidaid Evolution 2135 WS Pass Through Dishwasher with Drain Pump & Softener

The Maidaid Evolution 2135 WS is a 500mm basket pass through dishwasher designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent, reliable warewashing output across a full service. Unlike hood-type machines where racks are loaded and unloaded from the same end, a pass through configuration allows dirty ware to enter from one side and clean ware to exit from the other — a meaningful workflow advantage in busier environments where separation of clean and dirty sides matters operationally and hygienically.

In practice, this machine is well suited to kitchens running sustained volume — restaurants, hotels, contract catering sites, and similar operations where throughput needs to remain consistent from the first cover to the last. The triple wash tank filtration system and quick-release parallel wash and rinse arms are designed to maintain wash quality over repeated cycles without the performance drop that can occur when filters load up during service. The automatic end-of-service self-clean cycle also reduces the manual workload at close-down.

The inclusion of an internal water softener is a significant practical consideration. In hard water areas, scale build-up inside a dishwasher is one of the most common causes of poor rinse results and premature component wear. Having the softener built in removes the need for a separate external unit and simplifies installation. The drain pump is equally useful where a gravity drain connection is not available or practical. Key operational features include:

• Internal water softener reducing scale build-up in hard water areas
• Drain pump included as standard, removing gravity drain dependency
• Polychromatic LCD display with self-diagnostic and alarm functions
• Selectable energy saving mode and thermostop for rinse temperature control
• Double-skinned hood and body construction reducing heat loss and noise output

Installation requires consideration of inlet water supply, electrical connection, drainage routing, and adequate in-feed and out-feed tabling — tabling is not supplied with the machine and should be specified separately to suit your kitchen layout. The pass through format also requires enough linear space to allow for both loading and unloading alongside the machine during service. If your site has very limited space, a smaller hood-type machine may be worth considering instead.

This machine is most appropriate for kitchens handling a meaningful daily cover count where a standalone hood-type machine would become a bottleneck. For very high-volume operations such as large banqueting facilities or high-throughput canteens, a larger capacity pass through or rack conveyor machine may be worth discussing. Equally, for smaller sites with modest output, a more compact model could be better matched to actual demand.
