Overview
The SPZ Hood / Pass-Through Dishwasher is a high-capacity warewasher with a lift-up hood canopy that lets an operator slide a loaded basket in, drop the hood and start a cycle in one smooth motion. Designed to sit within a wash line between soiled and clean tabling, it moves far more crockery per hour than any undercounter machine.
This unit sits at the busy restaurant and mid-volume catering throughput tier, comfortably serving operations that clear a few hundred covers a day. The pass-through layout keeps dirty and clean sides separate for smoother workflow and better hygiene control during peak service.
Its core value is speed, ergonomics and sanitation at volume. Short cycles combined with hood-lift loading let one operator keep a rack moving every minute or so, while the high-temperature rinse thermally sanitises each load. That means less labour per cover, faster crockery turnaround and consistent, inspection-ready results under pressure.
Key features
- Lift-up hood canopy for fast, ergonomic single-motion loading and unloading.
- High throughput of up to around 60 baskets per hour at peak.
- High-temperature sanitising rinse with built-in rinse booster for hygiene.
- Accepts full 500 x 500 mm baskets for plates, trays, cups and cutlery.
- Pass-through design keeps soiled and clean sides separate for cleaner workflow.
- Built-in dosing and optional drain pump for consistent, low-effort operation.
Ideal applications
Ideal for full-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, canteens, catering operations and food courts that generate steady heavy volumes of crockery and need a dedicated wash line. The hood format suits kitchens that can position the machine between inlet and outlet tabling for a continuous flow.
Where daily volumes climb into the thousands of covers or run continuously across long shifts, a conveyor rack machine may be the better long-term fit, and our team can advise on where the crossover sits.

Frequently asked questions
Undercounter vs hood-type dishwasher — which do I need?
A hood-type pass-through is the right choice when an undercounter machine can no longer keep up, typically busy restaurants clearing a few hundred covers a day. It loads faster, holds more per basket and separates soiled from clean sides. Undercounter units remain better for cafés and tight spaces.
How many racks per hour for a busy restaurant?
A hood-type machine delivers roughly 40 to 60 baskets per hour, enough for most busy restaurants and mid-size catering. Real output depends on operator rhythm and whether soiled and clean tabling flank the machine. For continuous high volume, a conveyor system pushes past 100 racks per hour.
What rinse temperature sanitises dishes?
A final rinse held at around 82–85°C thermally sanitises each load, which is the standard benchmark for warewashing. A built-in rinse booster maintains this temperature even during rapid back-to-back cycles, and the heat drives fast evaporation so crockery air-dries quickly on the clean side.
Does it need three-phase power in Singapore?
Yes. Hood-type dishwashers draw around 9 to 11 kW and require a three-phase 400V supply in Singapore, which usually means a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrical worker. We confirm the load and coordinate connection requirements as part of the installation.
Does SPZ install and service warewashers?
Yes. SPZ supplies, installs and services hood-type dishwashers throughout Singapore, including positioning within your wash line, water, drain and three-phase connection coordination, and operator training. We also handle preventive maintenance, descaling and spare parts. Trade pricing is available on request.
