How to choose a dishwasher for kindergarten

Not all municipal kindergartens are equipped with modern household appliances. And if the absence of a TV is good for children, then not having a dishwasher in the kitchen can have a bad effect on their health. Therefore, most parents, in order to reduce the risk of their children contracting infectious diseases, decide to independently purchase a dishwasher for kindergarten.

Professional or household?

After the decision to purchase a dishwasher was made at the meeting, parents will have to choose the machine that is optimal in terms of build quality, cost and technical characteristics. Which equipment is better to focus on: professional or household?

A professional dishwasher can handle a large volume of dirty dishes and clean 300-500 plates and other cutlery per hour. It is advisable to purchase such a unit to serve the entire kindergarten. You can find models that can wash 2000 dishes in 60 minutes. The cost of professional dishwashers starts from $600 and reaches three hundred thousand or more.

However, very rarely do parents think about choosing a machine for the entire institution; in most cases, they are only concerned about one group that their children go to. Here we are no longer talking about five hundred plates, but only about 12-16 sets of dishes. In this case, it will be more profitable to purchase a household dishwasher, which will easily clean cutlery after 20-25 children.

Is it possible to wash children's dishes in the dishwasher? The answer will be unequivocal - yes.The equipment allows you to clean kitchen products by heating water to 70-90 degrees, thereby ensuring high-quality cleaning of devices from various bacteria.

Sterilization will help prevent the risk of viral and intestinal diseases spreading in the group.
