Purpose-Built for Utensils
Washing gastronorm trays, chopping boards and large kitchen utensils by hand is time-consuming, labour intensive and can make it difficult to maintain consistent hygiene standards. The Classeq C500WS Undercounter Utensil Dishwasher has been specifically developed to solve that challenge, providing a compact, high-performance warewashing solution for busy commercial kitchens.
With its enlarged wash chamber, dedicated 7-minute utensil programme and specially designed utensil baskets, the C500WS comfortably accommodates up to five 1/1 gastronorm trays or five chopping boards per basket, making it ideal for restaurants, hotels, bakeries, schools, care homes and food production environments. Optional plate baskets also allow the machine to double as a conventional undercounter dishwasher when required, giving your kitchen even greater flexibility.
The C500WS also features an integrated automatic water softener, helping to reduce limescale build-up, improve wash performance and extend the working life of the machine. For businesses operating in medium and hard water areas, this provides valuable long-term protection while reducing maintenance requirements.
