An industrial dishwasher is a high-capacity dishwashing machine designed for continuous, large-scale operation in hotels, hospitals, central kitchens, banquet halls, and institutional catering facilities. Unlike standard commercial dishwashers, industrial dishwashing machines are built to handle thousands of dishes per hour with minimal downtime, using industrial-grade components, 380V 3-phase power, and advanced heat recovery systems.
For Malaysian businesses looking for the best industrial dishwasher Malaysia has to offer, CHINENG provides a full range of high-capacity machines from pass-through units to full conveyor and flight-type systems, all built with 304/316 stainless steel for maximum durability in demanding environments.
The terms "commercial dishwasher" and "industrial dishwasher" are often used interchangeably, but there are important differences in capacity, duty cycle, and application.
Commercial Dishwasher | Industrial Dishwasher | |
Capacity | 40-60 racks per hour | 100-260+ racks per hour |
Construction | 304 stainless steel | 304/316 stainless, reinforced frame |
Power | 220V / 380V, 5-18 kW | 380V 3-phase, 26-90 kW |
Cycle type | Batch (hood/undercounter) | Continuous (conveyor/flight) |
Best for | 100-300 seat restaurants | Hotels, hospitals, central kitchens, 300+ seats |
Price range | RM 6,000 - 50,000 | RM 26,000 - 275,000 |
Drying | Optional add-on | Built-in drying zone standard |
For a small to mid-sized restaurant, a commercial dishwasher machine for restaurant use (hood-type or undercounter) is sufficient. But once you serve 300+ covers per shift or operate a central kitchen, you need the continuous throughput of an industrial dishwasher machine.
A commercial conveyor dishwasher is the backbone of large-scale kitchen operations. Racks of dishes move through wash, rinse, and drying zones on a motorised conveyor belt, delivering continuous washing capacity without pause. CHINENG conveyor dishwashers come in three configurations:
Dishes lie flat on a conveyor belt through wash, rinse, and drying zones. Ideal for plates, bowls, and trays of uniform size. Length: 1.6m - 6.1m. 380V, 27-90 kW. Available with heat recovery and intelligent computer control.
Dishes are loaded at an angle, saving floor space while maintaining high throughput. Length: 2.3m - 6.5m. 380V, 27-90 kW. Premium models include Schneider Electric components and Omron temperature controllers for precision operation.
Type | Length | Power | Capacity |
Flat-Rack Conveyor | 1.6 - 6.1m | 27 - 90 kW | Continuous, 260+ racks/hr |
Angle-Load Conveyor | 2.3 - 6.5m | 27 - 90 kW | Continuous, space-saving |
A flight-type dishwasher (also called a flight dishwasher or rackless conveyor) uses pegs on a continuous belt to hold dishes directly without individual racks. Dishes of different shapes and sizes — plates, trays, bowls, serving platters — are loaded directly onto the moving pegs.
This makes flight dishwashers the preferred choice for hotels, banquet halls, and large cafeterias where thousands of mixed dishes need continuous washing. They offer the highest throughput density of any dishwasher type and are commonly found in 5-star hotels and large-scale central kitchens.
CHINENG flight-type industrial dishwasher machines feature custom conveyor lengths, multiple wash/rinse zones, and integrated drying sections. All models run on 380V 3-phase power with built-in heat recovery for maximum energy efficiency.
Pass-through dishwashers bridge the gap between hood-type and full conveyor systems. Racks enter one side and exit the other, with capacity of approximately 260 racks per hour. They are ideal for fast-casual chains and mid-sized hotels that need continuous flow but lack the floor space for a full conveyor line.
Model Series | Length | Power | Capacity |
CN-8001-TDS | 1.1 - 1.8m | 46.5 - 61.5 kW | ~260 racks/hr |
CN-8021-TDJ | 1.1 - 2.5m | 37.7 - 47.6 kW | ~260 racks/hr |
CN-8022-TDJ | 1.1 - 1.95m | 27.8 - 51.7 kW | ~260 racks/hr |
The industrial dishwasher machine price in Malaysia varies significantly based on type, capacity, and configuration. Below is the price range for CHINENG industrial dishwasher Malaysia models.
Type | Price Range (RM) | Best For |
Pass-Through | RM 27,000 - 58,990 | Fast-casual chains, mid-sized hotels |
Flat-Rack Conveyor | RM 26,890 - 99,990 | Central kitchens, high-volume restaurants |
Angle-Load Conveyor | RM 37,990 - 111,990 | Space-efficient high-volume operations |
Flight-Type (Custom) | From RM 60,000 | 5-star hotels, banquet halls |
Complete Conveyor Line | RM 65,000 - 275,000 | Large central kitchens, institutions |

Power supply: All CHINENG conveyor and flight-type dishwashers require 380V 3-phase power with a dedicated circuit and appropriate MCB rating.
Water supply: Dedicated hot and cold water lines with flow rate of 300-350 L/hr minimum. Water pressure should be 1.5-4 bar.
Drainage: Floor drain required near the machine. Drain hose diameter 25-50mm depending on model. A grease trap is recommended for heavy soil applications.
Space: Conveyor dishwashers require 3-8 m² depending on length. Allow 30cm clearance on service sides and 60cm at the loading/unloading ends for operator access.
Ventilation: Exhaust hood required above all conveyor and flight-type dishwashers with drying sections. General kitchen ventilation is sufficient for pass-through models.
Water treatment: In hard water areas, a commercial water softener is strongly recommended to prevent scale buildup on 316 stainless heating elements and extend machine life.
Floor loading: Operating weight of industrial dishwashers ranges from 145 kg to over 350 kg. Ensure the floor is level and can support the weight, especially for conveyor systems exceeding 5m in length.
Q: What is the difference between a conveyor dishwasher and a flight-type dishwasher?
A conveyor dishwasher uses individual racks that move through the machine on a belt. A flight-type dishwasher uses pegs on a continuous belt to hold dishes directly, eliminating the need for racks. Flight-type dishwashers have higher throughput density and are ideal for hotels and banquets processing mixed dish shapes and sizes.
Q: How many dishes per hour can an industrial dishwasher clean?
Depending on the model, an industrial dishwasher machine can clean 100 to over 260 racks per hour. A flight-type dishwasher processes 5,000-10,000+ individual dishes per hour, depending on belt speed and configuration.
Q: What is the price of an industrial dishwasher machine in Malaysia?
The industrial dishwasher Malaysia price ranges from approximately RM 26,000 for a basic conveyor unit to RM 275,000 for a full conveyor line with multiple wash and drying zones. Flight-type and custom configurations are typically priced from RM 60,000.
Q: Do I need a 380V power supply for an industrial dishwasher?
Yes. All CHINENG industrial dishwashers (conveyor, flight-type, pass-through) require 380V 3-phase power. This is standard in most Malaysian commercial and industrial kitchens. Check your facility's power capacity before ordering.
Q: How long does an industrial dishwasher last?
With proper maintenance — daily cleaning, regular descaling, and annual servicing — an industrial dishwasher machine lasts 8-15 years. CHINENG uses 316 stainless steel heating elements and reinforced 304 stainless bodies on all industrial models for maximum longevity.
Q: What are the operational costs of an industrial dishwasher?
Operational costs include electricity (27-90 kW depending on model), water (300-350 L/hr), detergent and rinse aid (2-3 L each per 8-hour shift), and periodic descaling chemicals. Heat recovery systems on CHINENG models can reduce energy costs by up to 30%.
Q: Can I use a commercial dishwasher for industrial-scale washing?
No. Standard commercial dishwashers (hood-type, undercounter) are not designed for continuous high-volume operation. Using them beyond their rated capacity leads to frequent breakdowns and shortened lifespan. For 300+ covers per shift, an industrial dishwasher machine is the correct choice.
Q: What is the warranty on CHINENG industrial dishwashers?
CHINENG offers a standard 1-year comprehensive warranty on all industrial dishwasher models. The 316 stainless heating elements carry a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request.
Choosing the right industrial dishwasher machine depends on your daily dish volume, available floor space, power supply, and budget. CHINENG offers free kitchen layout consultation to help you select the optimal configuration for your facility.
