Maidaid Evolution 2160 500x600mm Pass Through Dishwasher with Drain Pump

The Maidaid Evolution 2160 is a three-phase pass through dishwasher designed for high-volume commercial kitchens where throughput, reliability, and wash quality matter during every service period. Operating with a 500x600mm rack format, it handles a broad range of crockery, glassware, and cutlery loads, and is built around Maidaid’s well-regarded Evolution platform — a range that has proven itself across hotels, restaurants, contract catering, and education sites throughout the UK.

In service, the machine performs consistently under sustained demand. The patented dual flow wash pump is designed to maintain effective wash action while keeping power consumption in check — useful in busy kitchens where the machine may be running almost continuously through lunch and dinner covers. The quick-release triple wash and rinse arm system improves coverage across the full rack area, and the triple-stage wash tank filtration reduces the carry-over of food debris that would otherwise compromise wash results over extended service periods. Recovery between cycles is supported by the dedicated boiler element, keeping rinse temperatures stable even when the machine is working hard.

Operationally, the 2160 has been designed with the kitchen team in mind:

• Polychromatic LCD display gives clear machine status at a glance, reducing operator guesswork
• Self-diagnostic and alarm menus help identify issues quickly without calling an engineer for minor faults
• Automatic end-of-service self-cleaning cycle reduces manual cleaning time for the wash-up team
• Double-skinned hood and body construction keeps noise levels manageable and retains heat within the machine
• Moulded wash tank and stainless steel scrap tray filters are straightforward to remove and clean
• Peristaltic dosing pumps for detergent and rinse aid are supplied as standard, supporting consistent chemical use and reducing waste

The machine requires a three-phase electrical supply and a mains water connection with adequate flow and pressure. A break tank is supplied as standard, which satisfies water regulations requirements without the need for a separate backflow prevention installation in most cases. The integral drain pump means the machine is not dependent on gravity drainage, which gives more flexibility in positioning — a practical advantage in kitchens where the drain point is not directly adjacent to the machine. Tabling for inlet and outlet is not included and will need to be specified separately; the correct table lengths will depend on your rack throughput requirements and available space. Adequate ventilation in the dishwash area remains important regardless of the machine’s double-skin construction.

The Evolution 2160 is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, staff restaurants, and similar sites where a under counter or hood machine has been outgrown but where a full conveyor system would be excessive. The range of standard and special cycle options, along with adjustable cycle times, means it can be configured to suit the specific demands of your operation. For sites with significantly higher throughput requirements, larger capacity pass through or conveyor alternatives may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the 2160 is the right fit for your kitchen — in terms of service volume, installation requirements, or tabling configuration — our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
