When choosing a dishwasher table
A good dishwasher table should suit both the dishwasher and the workflow around it. For an under-counter dishwasher, one would typically choose a table with a sink and space for the machine next to or under the tabletop. Pay special attention to whether the dishwasher should be placed on the right or left side.
Pre-rinse table and drying table for hood-type dishwashers
With a hood-type dishwasher, the dishwashing station usually consists of a pre-rinse table on one side and a drying table on the other. On the pre-rinse table, dishware can be rinsed with a pre-rinse spray while it is in the dishwasher rack. The rack is then pushed directly into the hood-type dishwasher.
On the other side, a drying table is placed where the clean rack can stand after washing. This creates a natural flow from dirty to clean dishware and reduces unnecessary handling of the racks.
Organize the dishwashing station according to the space available
Dishwasher tables are available in different lengths and with sinks, cabinets, and other configurations. In smaller kitchens, the dishwashing station can also be set up in a corner so that the space around the dishwasher is utilized better.
If you are setting up a complete dishwashing station, you can also see our commercial dishwashers, dishwasher racks, and trolleys for dishwasher baskets.
