THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial dishwasher earns its place

The DC SD50 is a workhorse dishwasher for restaurants, cafés, schools and hotels that need fast, reliable warewashing on a compact footprint. Its three-minute cycle means no bottleneck at peak service—a full basket of plates, glasses or pans cleans in the time it takes to load the next one.

Water efficiency is baked in. The peristaltic auto-dosing system dispenses detergent and rinse aid with precision, eliminating waste and keeping chemical spend tight. A low-water cycle combined with double-skinned construction means you're running a tight ship without cutting corners on hygiene.

The two-basket system gives you flexibility: rotate through them while the machine runs, or load both for maximum throughput. Gravity drain keeps the installation simple—no pump needed, just a floor drain downslope. For kitchens with tight plumbing or limited headroom, that's often the deciding factor.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Three minutes per cycle means 20 baskets per hour at steady run. With two baskets in rotation (one loading, one running), you're moving 20 full baskets through per hour—plates, glasses, pans or cutlery baskets, depending on load type.

No. The SD50 uses gravity drain, so water flows downslope naturally into a floor drain. Simpler plumbing, fewer parts to fail, lower setup cost. If your kitchen layout doesn't allow gravity drain, consider the SD50 D model with integral pump.

The SD50 is engineered for low-water cycles without cutting hygiene corners. Exact consumption depends on local water hardness and chemical program—your Craven dealer can model this against your kitchen's baseline (contact 01792 732702 for a full water audit).

Yes. The rinse thermolock programme lets you lock the temperature within a range, so every cycle delivers consistent sanitisation for food-safety compliance. If you need temperatures adjusted after commissioning, call 01792

The standard SD50 works fine in hard-water areas with appropriate detergent selection and rinse aid. If you want an integral water softener built-in, the SD50 IS model removes the hardness before the wash cycle—no separate softener unit needed. For options, speak to 01792

The SD50 has an engineer diagnostic mode built in, so a technician can quickly identify faults without pulling apart the cabinet. If you need service, call 01792 732702—we'll get you back up.
