Not every kitchen has the floor space for a standard hood-type dishwasher. Narrow alley kitchens, undercounter setups, low-ceiling basements — standard 710 mm-wide machines simply do not fit. The CHINENG 8038 series solves this with six purpose-built form factors: from a 600 mm-wide undercounter unit to an 18 kW dual-basket workhorse, every model is engineered around a specific space or capacity constraint.

1. Six Sub-Series at a Glance

2. Undercounter Models — Fits Under the Countertop

The SKJ series is the most compact commercial dishwasher in the CHINENG range. At just 600×628×820 mm, it fits under a standard countertop — ideal for bars, cafés, and small kitchens where every square centimetre counts. Built-in detergent dispenser eliminates manual dosing.

Both models include one dish rack and water hoses as standard.

3. Compact & Sliding-Hood — For Tight Spaces

TXJD: Ultra-Narrow at 620 mm

Five models from 5 to 12 kW. Only 620 mm wide — fits through narrow doorways and into tight galley kitchens. One-key automatic drain simplifies end-of-shift cleanup. 220 V and 380 V options available.

DL: Sliding Hood — No Lifting Required

Three models. The hood slides horizontally instead of lifting vertically — designed for kitchens where ceiling height is restricted. Only 1,350 mm total height. 7 kW and 9 kW power ratings. Includes one rack and water hoses.

4. High-Output Models — Noodle Shops & Dual Baskets

FM-JD: Purpose-Built for Noodle Restaurants

Two models, both 380 V. Larger 60×60 cm basket accommodates oversized noodle bowls and deep plates — approximately 30% more capacity per cycle than standard hood-type machines.

DB: Dual Basket — Double the Throughput

The largest single-unit hood-type dishwasher in the 8038 range. Two independent baskets run simultaneously — effectively doubling throughput per cycle. 18 kW heating for rapid temperature recovery. Dimensions: 1,270×830×1,380 mm.

5. Premium Dual-Pump Flagship (JGS-CX1)

Four models — the premium tier of the 8038 range. Dual-pump system for consistent water pressure across both spray arms. Compact 680×780×1,355 mm footprint with 7/9/12 kW options across 220 V and 380 V.

6. FAQ

Q: What makes the 8038 different from the 8001 series?

The 8001 series is a standard hood-type dishwasher for general use. The 8038 series offers specialised form factors: undercounter (SKJ), sliding-hood for low ceilings (DL), ultra-narrow (TXJD), oversize basket (FM-JD), and dual-basket (DB). Choose 8001 for standard kitchens; choose 8038 when you have a specific space or capacity constraint.

Q: Which model for a bar or café with limited space?

The SKJ undercounter series — 600 mm wide, fits under a standard countertop. Built-in detergent dispenser. For establishments that primarily wash glasses, cups, and small plates.

Q: What is the sliding-hood (DL) and when is it needed?

Standard hood-type dishwashers require overhead clearance to lift the hood vertically. The DL series slides the hood horizontally — ideal for low-ceiling kitchens, basements, or any installation where vertical clearance is below 1,500 mm.

Q: Can the dual-basket DB model run as two independent washers?

Yes. The dual-basket design allows two baskets to be washed simultaneously in independent compartments. This effectively doubles throughput during peak hours without requiring a second machine.
