METOS WD FLIGHT-TYPE DISHWASHERS
Metos WD-B flight-type dishwashers have been developed
to act as the central part of our customers’ dishwashing
systems. In the development work special attention has
been paid to the hospitals’ strict demands on hygiene and efficiency.
The profound experience Metos has in developing and manufacturing
flight-type dishwashers generates a superior washing result, low
operating costs and an ergonomically well-planned working
environment. In the Metos flight-type dishwasher range you will find
a machine for every application; capacities at normal speed 1900 to
4600 plates / hour.
The standard equipment includes two steplessly adjustable conveyor speeds.
This enables setting the contact time according to customer needs and
guarantees a sparkling washing result. The machines are also available with
high-power pumps. The washing pressures can be adjusted for pot washing
(pressure adjustment device is optional). A large range of conveyor belts is
available to suit different needs. The width of the machine can be extended
allowing for instance the placement of two GN 1/1 containers side by side.
The machine is built of stainless steel that withstands heavy use and is easy
to keep clean. The smooth interior surfaces can be cleaned by opening the
large doors.The washing arms are easy to detach and clean. The outer casings
of the loading and unloading areas are easily detached, allowing the areas to
be rinsed. Thanks to efficient thermal insulation, the surface temperatures
and noise levels stay low. There is also less thermal load on the working

environment, cutting the energy consumption in the ventilation. The efficient
standard heat recovery system (about 30 kW) minimizes the final fresh rinse
water heating energy consumption and recycles the pump rinsing water into
the intermediate rinsing in the pre-wash zone. This significantly reduces the
water consumption and at the same time the rinsing and detergent costs.
Standard equipment includes an extra long (1250 mm) pre-wash zone that
prevents water from transferring from the pre-wash zone to the chemical
zone. This way the water in the chemical tank doesn’t get diluted and
unnecessary detergent consumption is avoided. Even other unwanted water
transfer between tanks is eliminated with 1000 mm long washing zones.
Electronic control reduces downtime due to the operator, since the machine
indicates misuse on the control panel (for instance the machine tells about
doors left open, objects fallen in the conveyor, temperatures etc). The control
unit also makes service easier, reducing maintenance downtime. The text
panel of the machine (standard equipment from Metos WD-B 76E up) or a
separate service instrument gives the diagnostics in plain language to the
service personnel and allows the checking of different components making
problem identification easier. The control registers and collects data on the
functioning of the machine, which can then be used in the development of
the washing area (e.g. water consumptions, flows, temperatures etc.) This
makes the rationalization of the area’s own activities easier and facilitates
HACCP activities. A WD-INFO data system (optional) can be connected to
the control system, allowing the collected data to be transferred to a PC. A
PC makes it easy to collect statistics and for instance monitor the costs or
environmental performance of the dishwashing system.
Correctly dimensioned working stations improve ergonomics, speed up
working and reduce fatigue. Cutlery soaking works with a lift handle.
