Why this utensil washer earns its place
The Hobart FT117 is the standard utensil washer in this Hobart group, made for the cookware that does not belong in a light-duty glasswasher or undercounter dishwasher. The manufacturer lists pots and pans, cast iron cookware, baking tins, trays and racks, which puts it squarely in the pot-wash area.
The footprint is 1984mm x 780mm x 945mm, with a 205kg gross weight, so it should be planned as fixed commercial warewashing equipment rather than a small appliance. The stainless steel, silver-finished build suits the wet, hard-use environment of a working pot-wash.
Services are just as important as the machine size. The catalogue states 400V, three-phase power and drainage by drain pump, both of which should be checked against the site before delivery.
