The invention relates to a dishwasher (110) for use in a means of transport (114) The dishwasher comprises a) at least one cleaning chamber (122) for receiving an item (112) to be cleaned, b) at least one application device (130) for applying the item (112) to be cleaned in the cleaning chamber (122) with at least one cleaning fluid (126): c) at least one washing tank (128) for receiving the at least one cleaning fluid (126), wherein the dishwasher (110) is designed to control a fill level of the washing tank (128) with the cleaning fluid (126) to a variably adjustable target level; d) at least one receiving device (186) for receiving at least one item of spatial information relating to the dishwasher (110); and e) at least one controller (166), wherein the controller (166) is programmed to determine the target level according to the spatial information.

A free-standing Energy Recovery System enables sanitary recovery of thermal energy with heat transfer from hot waste effluent to incoming domestic water. The source of the effluent may, for example, be conventional commercial ware-washing, clothes washing equipment, pasteurization and other industrial processes.

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.

A washing apparatus includes a case defining an outer appearance and having therein a washing space to wash an object, a cradle supporting the object in the washing space, a first water nozzle spaced apart above the cradle and for spraying washing water upwards, and a second water nozzle provided in plurality, the plurality of second water nozzles spaced apart in different radial directions with respect to the first water nozzle and for spraying washing water inward of the first water nozzle.

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 counter system (10) for transferring at least partially unpackaged foodstuffs, wherein the counter system (10) has a first region (11) assigned to the counter staff and a second region (12) segregated therefrom and assigned to the customer. The counter system (10) has a dishwasher (1) for cleaning items of washware (2). The dishwasher (1) has at least one treatment zone (3) and at least one conveyor apparatus (6) for conveying the items of washware (2) to be cleaned from an introduction region (4) of the dishwasher (1) through the treatment zone (3) of the dishwasher (1) to a removal region (5) of the dishwasher (1), wherein the introduction region (4) of the dishwasher (1) is accessible from the second region (12) of the counter system (10) and the removal region (5) of the dishwasher (1) is accessible from the first region (11) of the counter system (10).
