The invention proposes a modular system for loading a conveying apparatus of a conveyor dishwasher. The modular system comprises: A. at least one detection module for sensing status data relating to supplied washware; B. a plurality of interchangeable handling modules, wherein the handling modules are each intended to perform an individual handling function for handling the washware using at least one actuator; C. at least one feeding unit for selectively feeding the supplied washware to the handling modules; D. at least one control module, wherein the control module has at least one registering unit, wherein the handling modules and the individual handling function thereof can be registered, and deregistered, at the registering unit, wherein the control module has at least one processor and is programmed to evaluate the status data and to assess a respective situation of the supplied washware; and to detect which handling modules are registered at the registering unit, whether the respective individual handling function of the handling modules is usable in the respective washware situation, and to activate the feeding unit such that washware is fed to the handling modules in accordance with the usability. The invention also proposes a cleaning system which comprises the modular system, and further proposes a method for cleaning washware.

A control box for a sprayer system is provided. The control box may include a wash flow path, a wash flow solenoid disposed in the wash flow path, a detergent supply assembly disposed in wash flow path, a rinse flow path, a rinse flow solenoid disposed in the rinse flow path, a common flow path, a flow switch disposed in the common flow path, an alternating relay, and a connection valve leading to a discharge flow path. The flow switch may be configured to provide a signal to the alternating relay. The alternating relay may be configured to control both the wash flow solenoid and the rinse flow solenoid. The connection valve may receive both the wash flow path and the rinse flow path. In another embodiment, a sprayer system including a control box and a sprayer unit is provided.

A condition warning system for an apparatus such as a pot and pan washing machine, a control system and control methods for a pot and pan washing machine are provided. The condition warning system includes a control system that monitors operational, safety or compliance parameters of an apparatus, and a light that illuminates a location below (or above) an operator's direct line of sight, and which is outside of the operator's direct line of sight. The control system and control methods include a punitive wash action lockout, an extended wash cycle time, and a deep clean wash cycle.

A control device for a dishwashing system includes processing circuitry configured to control operation of a work device that performs an operation related to a washing rack that is placeable on each of a plurality of support surfaces extending in substantially the same plane, the plurality of support surfaces including a first support surface, a second support surface disposed in association with a dishwasher capable of washing a dish in the washing rack, and a third support surface; and control the work device to operate such that the washing rack is transferred from the first support surface and returned to the first support surface via the second support surface and via the third support surface. A direction in which the washing rack is carried into the dishwasher and a direction in which the washing rack is carried out of the dishwasher form a substantially right angle as viewed from above.

A fluid flow structure for a washing machine is located within a wash tank of the washing machine, which includes a fluid flow guide surface, and a support for the guide surface. The guide surface includes at least one region contoured inconsistently from the contour of at least one corresponding wall of the washing machine wash tank. The contour of the guide surface is generally curved so as to aide in reducing and/or preventing the pinning of items that often occurs in rectangular wash tanks of the prior art. The support for the guide surface creates a gap between the guide surface and at least one wall of the washing machine wash tank.

A dishwasher (1) comprises a washing chamber (2) configured for receiving crockery (3) to be washed, which can be accessed via a first lateral zone (5a) and a distinct second lateral zone (5b). The dishwasher (1) includes a lid (6) configured for being rotated with respect to the washing chamber (2), around a rotation axis (7) passing through the washing chamber (2). In a first position, the lid (6) prevents accessing the washing chamber (2) both via the first lateral zone (5a) and via the second lateral zone (5b). In a second position, the lid (6) allows accessing the washing chamber (2) only via said first lateral zone (5a). In a third position, the lid (6) allows accessing said washing chamber (2) only via the second lateral zone (5b).

A beverage container washing system may be used for rapid washing and/or sanitizing of beverage containers, e.g., for use in a retail environment to wash and/or sanitize customer-provided beverage containers prior to filling the beverage containers with purchased beverages, among other applications. The beverage container washing system may include multiple concentric housing members supported on a base, with each having one or more openings that may be selectively aligned through driven movement of at least one of the concentric housing members to provide access to a wash chamber.

A beverage container washing system may be used for rapid washing and/or sanitizing of beverage containers, e.g., for use in a retail environment to wash and/or sanitize customer-provided beverage containers prior to filling the beverage containers with purchased beverages, among other applications. The beverage container washing system may include multiple concentric housing members supported on a base, and an air knife chamber that supply air from a stationary air supply to an air knife opening on a rotatable one of the concentric housing members.

A beverage container washing system may utilize a through opening air knife to direct a flow of pressurized fluid through an opening in a concentric housing member of a beverage container washing system and onto a beverage container disposed within a wash chamber thereof.

A beverage container washing system may be used for rapid washing and/or sanitizing of beverage containers, e.g., for use in a retail environment to wash and/or sanitize customer-provided beverage containers prior to filling the beverage containers with purchased beverages, among other applications. The beverage container washing system may include a holder that utilizes a base that supports a beverage container in an inverted orientation and a retainer that supports a sidewall of the beverage container and includes a lateral opening through which the beverage container may be passed during insertion into and/or removal from the holder.
