THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial dishwasher earns its place

The PD1300A IS D is the complete passthrough package: high-volume washing in a format that fits brigade kitchens, integral softening for hard water, and a break tank for pressure management. If your kitchen needs all three — continuous-feed washing, hard-water treatment, and pressure-controlled drainage — this machine covers every angle.

The passthrough layout keeps soiled and clean racks moving separately, so you're not lifting clean racks back out where they came. Increased wash arms and low-water design deliver efficiency even with dense loads, and the double-skinned hood contains heat, reducing energy loss during long service runs. The superior peristaltic auto-dosing units dispense chemicals with precision, the heavy-duty wash pump pushes water reliably, and the integral softener silently prevents scale buildup — no mineral deposits on glassware, no chemical wrestling, no scale maintenance.

The break tank manages water pressure and drainage, protecting both machine and plumbing from backflow or pressure spikes. This is essential if your kitchen has high-pressure water systems or complex drainage. Real-time temperature readouts and previous-cycle logging keep compliance records clean. Four fixed cycles plus customisable My Wash mode give you flexibility for every load type. Soft touch controls and an LCD display make it intuitive to run, and the engineer diagnostic mode shows you what's happening if anything needs attention.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

They handle different challenges. The integral softener removes minerals from hard water, preventing scale and chemical waste. The break tank manages water pressure and drainage, protecting your plumbing from spikes and backflow. Together, they mean one machine that handles both hard water AND specialist plumbing systems.

It depends on your kitchen. If you have standard water pressure but hard water, the PD50 IS D (frontloading) or PD1300A (passthrough) without break tank are appropriate. If you have high-pressure water but soft water, the PD1300A IS handles pressure management. If you have both challenges, the PD1300A IS D handles them both.

That depends on your cycle length and load pattern. The four fixed cycles and customisable My Wash mode let you dial in your typical rack type (plates, bowls, pans, glasses). Use the dishwasher selector tool to estimate throughput for your peak service, or call Craven on 01792 732702 to size it against your actual numbers.

The integral softener works automatically, removing minerals before the wash chamber. It requires periodic salt recharging, but you're not adjusting hardness levels manually — the system adapts to local water conditions. If you want to check your water hardness or dial in softening, contact Craven on 01792 732702 for guidance.

If your kitchen has high-pressure mains water (above standard 3 bar) or shared drainage with heavy-load equipment (cooking, cleaning, refrigeration), a break tank protects the machine and your plumbing. If you're unsure about your water pressure or drainage setup, call Craven and describe your kitchen layout — they'll advise whether it's worth the investment.

The previous-cycle temperature display records rinse heat automatically, and the fault logs capture anomalies. Use the cleaning schedule generator to create printable HACCP rotas covering both machine cycles and manual cleaning protocols — one unified record.
