A conveyor warewasher has at least one washing zone, at least one rinsing zone and a conveyor apparatus. A camera system is configured to capture at least one image of a portion of the conveyor apparatus. An evaluation device is configured to determine an average degree of soiling of washware present in the portion of the conveyor apparatus at the time of the image capture and/or a average type of soiling of the washware present in the portion of the conveyor apparatus at the time of the image capture. A control device is configured to initiate, automatically or optionally automatically depending on the determined average degree of soiling and/or depending on the determined average type of soiling, at least one measure influencing the quality of a washing liquid to be sprayed in the at least one washing zone and/or a measure influencing the cleaning performance of the conveyor warewasher.

The present invention is an apparatus and a green and economical method for washing and sanitizing cookware including pots, pans and containers suitable for all types of cookware, wherein the washing and sanitization method is a two stage process involving utilization of cold water jet for washing of utensils and heating water for sanitization of the cookware without the use of detergents or chemicals.

An adjustment device, an air duct structure, an exhaust system, a dishwasher, and a method for controlling the dishwasher are provided. The adjustment device is applied in an exhaust system. The exhaust system has an exhaust channel with a second air inlet and a first air inlet. The adjustment device includes an adjustment mechanism and a controller. The adjustment mechanism is configured to, under control of the controller, respectively adjust a flow rate of a first gas entering the exhaust channel through the first air inlet and a flow rate of a second gas entering the exhaust channel through the second air inlet, to control a ratio of the first gas entering the exhaust channel to the second gas entering the exhaust channel. Humidity of the second gas is lower than humidity of the first gas.

The dishwasher of one embodiment comprises a tub, a sump, a wash pump, a rack, a nozzle disposed at a lower end of the rack, rotated by a repulsive force of wash water supplied from the wash pump, spraying wash water to a wash target, and having a magnetic object coupled to one end of the nozzle so that a first pole and a second pole of the magnetic object face a rotation direction of the nozzle, a sensing module that senses a magnetic force generated by the magnetic object generated by a rotation of the nozzle, and a controller receiving sensing results from the sensing module, and determining one or more of a rotation direction of the nozzle, a rotation speed of the nozzle and whether the nozzle rotates, to output an abnormality notification to a user or control wash water supplied to the nozzle through the wash pump.

Disclosed in the present invention are an energy-saving dishwasher and a control method therefor. The inner container is arranged inside the housing, the inner container is internally provided with a manifold type dish rack for placing dishes and spraying steam to perform steam cleaning on the dishes, and the manifold type dish rack is placed on a supporting frame fixed to the inner container. A water storage tank, a steam/hot water integrated generating device and a water pump are arranged below the inner container, and the steam/hot water integrated generating device includes a generating assembly and a control assembly. The manifold type dish rack is configured to place the dishes and simultaneously sprays steam to clean the dishes. The steam/hot water integrated generating device is configured to generate steam and hot water, heating is performed to generate the steam, and then relative cooling is performed to generate the hot water.

The invention proposes a cleaning device (110) for cleaning washware (130). The cleaning device (110) comprises at least one cleaning chamber (114) with at least one application device (148) for applying at least one cleaning liquid (150) to the washware (130) in the cleaning chamber (114). The cleaning device (110) furthermore comprises at least one transportation device (136) for transporting the washware (130) through the cleaning chamber (114) in a transportation direction (138). The cleaning device (110) furthermore has at least one outlet region (142), which is arranged downstream of the cleaning chamber (114) in the transportation direction (138), for removing the washware (130) from the transportation device (136). The cleaning device (110) furthermore has at least one sensor (168) for identifying at least one prespecified type of washware (130). The cleaning device (110) furthermore has at least one slide (170) and is designed to automatically push the washware (130) of the prespecified type from the transportation device (136) transversely to the transportation direction (138).

Image-based object sensing is utilized in a dishwasher to configure a wash cycle and/or perform other operations in the dishwasher.

Image-based object sensing is utilized in a dishwasher to configure a wash cycle and/or perform other operations in the dishwasher.

An automated cleaning machine may include one or more short cleaning cycles in which the duration of a cleaning cycle is shortened relative to the duration of a default cleaning cycle. During a short cleaning cycle, other cleaning cycle parameters may also be adjusted to ensure that the articles subjected to the short cleaning cycle are adequately cleaned and sanitized. For example, the wash temperature, rinse temperature, and/or cleaning product amounts or concentrations, may be adjusted to account for the shortened duration of the cleaning cycle. The automated cleaning machine may further include one or more short cycle mode(s) during which short cleaning cycle parameters are used and one or more default cycle mode(s) during which default cleaning cycle parameters are used.

A conveyor warewasher includes at least one washing zone, at least one rinsing zone and a conveyor apparatus. A camera system is configured in order to capture at least one image of an portion of the conveyor apparatus continuously or at predetermined or determinable times and/or events. An image processing device is associated with the camera system and is configured to determine a position, orientation and/or alignment of washware items present in the at least one captured image. An evaluation device is further provided that is adapted to determine based on the determined position, orientation, and/or alignment of the washware items whether, at the time of the image capture, washware items are present in the portion of the conveyor apparatus (2) that: i) are transported incorrectly oriented by the conveyor apparatus (2); and/or ii) are transported misaligned by the conveyor apparatus.
