A dishwashing system includes: a conveyor-type dishwasher that washes tableware in a washing machine main body while conveying the tableware by means of a conveyor; a robot device having a robot arm mechanism that is installed in the vicinity of a picking area outside of the washing machine main body in order to pick up tableware that is conveyed to the picking area by conveyors, and to transfer the tableware to a stock area; and a control device that generates an enabling signal relating to operations of the conveyors with respect to the dishwasher.

Example intelligent dishwashing systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a system includes an imaging system configured to capture at least one image of an article of dishware. A processing system analyzes the at least one image to determine a presence and a location of a stain on the article of dishware. Responsive to determining the presence of a stain, a cleaning system is configured to clean the location of the stain on the article of dishware.

A warewash machine includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having a spray zone with an associated spray system for spraying liquid onto wares passing therethrough and a collection tank below the spray zone. A strainer pan is located atop the collection tank and includes an optional first opening with an optional removable strainer bucket mounted therein and a second opening with a removable cutlery basket mounted therein. A method of washing cutlery with such a warewash machine is also described.

A warewash machine for washing wares includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having an inlet side, an outlet side, multiple spray zones between the inlet side and the outlet side, and a conveyor arrangement for moving wares along a conveyance path through the multiple spray zones in a ware travel direction. A prescrapping zone is located toward the inlet side of the chamber, the prescrapping zone having a blow-off system comprising a plurality of prescrapping nozzles and a compressed air feed line for delivering compressed air to the prescrapping nozzles.

A flight-type dishwasher or rack conveyor dishwasher has a conveyor apparatus (20) for conveying washware through individual treatment zones (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of the conveyor dishwasher (1). The conveyor dishwasher (1) has a detection system (30) designed to detect the presence of washware or a washware carrier (7) in a predefined region (A) at an inlet (10) or at a feed (16) of the conveyor dishwasher (1). A control device (50) is designed to actuate the conveyor apparatus (20) such that the conveyor apparatus (20) is activated when washware or a washware carrier (7) is detected in the region (A) at the inlet (10) or feed (16) of the conveyor dishwasher (1), and that the conveyor apparatus (20) is deactivated when no washware or no washware carrier (7) is detected in the region (A) at the inlet (10) or feed (16) of the conveyor dishwasher (1).

Dishwashing machine including an outer casing with an inner washing cavity adapted to accommodating a dishwasher rack. A catchment sink assembly is located on the bottom of the inner washing cavity to collect and accumulate liquid trickling down from the dishwasher rack momentarily located above the catchment sink assembly. The catchment sink assembly includes a basin-shaped catchment tank. A cup-shaped drain sump extends downwards from the bottom of the catchment tank and directly communicates with the inside of the catchment tank to receive washing or rinsing liquid arriving on the bottom of the catchment tank. A tubular member communicates with the catchment tank and is detachably fitted into a corresponding tubular outlet portion in the drain sump to divide the inner volume of the drain sump into a first inner-volume portion directly connected to a water drain line, and a second inner-volume portion directly connected to the suction of the pump.

A dish overflow protection system for a dishwasher. The dishwasher has a conveyor mechanism, a holding area, and a washing system. The dish overflow protection system has a housing including a user interface. A first sensor is disposed on the housing and is configured to take a first reading. A second sensor is remote from the housing and is configured to take a second reading. The dish overflow protection system has a control unit configured to halt operation of the conveyor mechanism where a difference between the first reading and the second reading is greater than a threshold. The user interface is usable to modify the threshold.

A conveyor dishwasher (1) for washing washware has at least one final rinse zone (30, 40) and at least one washing zone (10, 20) whichas seen in the conveying direction (T) of the washwareis arranged upstream of the at least one final rinse zone (30, 40). A sensor device (5) is provided for detecting at least one parameter which characterizes the quality of the liquid which is to be sprayed in the at least one washing zone (10, 20), wherein the conveyor dishwasher (1) has a liquid transfer system which is designed, for the purpose of regenerating the washing liquid which is to be sprayed in the at least one washing zone (10, 20), to preferably as required supply an in particular definable quantity of fresh water to the at least one washing zone (10, 20).

A dishwasher (1) in the form of an industrial dishwasher which is designed in the form of a box-type dishwasher, configured in the form of a hood-type dishwasher and has a treatment chamber (5) with at least one wash system designed in the form of a recirculation system. In order to make it possible to optimise the actual potential capacity of the dishwasher, to be precise while at the same time easing the burden on the operating staff, the dishwasher (1) is assigned a loading/unloading apparatus (4, 4) for preferably optionally automatically loading the treatment chamber (5) with washware (9) and/or for preferably optionally automatically unloading washware (9) from the treatment chamber (5).

A warewash machine includes a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one wash zone. A refrigerant medium circuit includes a first condenser and a second condenser, the first condenser located upstream of the second condenser in the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant medium circuit includes a first flow path through the first condenser and a second flow path in bypass of the first condenser, and a valve for selectively controlling whether at least some refrigerant medium flows along the first flow path or the second flow path.
