MEIKO Dishwashers

MEIKO dishwashers boast several features that set them apart. A common thread is their technology for achieving superior sanitization. This can include GiO-TECH, a reverse osmosis system that removes impurities and eliminates the need for manual polishing. MEIKO dishwashers often feature a “blue operating concept” with color-coded, removable parts for easy cleaning and user-friendly maintenance. Furthermore, heat recovery systems are common, capturing waste heat to improve energy efficiency.

MEIKO optimizes commercial dishwasher hygiene, energy efficiency, water consumption, and steam reduction. The M-iClean feature in MEIKO dishwashers significantly saves time and resources through the ComfortAir heat recovery system. M-iClean improves dishwashing by:

• Saving 30 seconds per wash cycle
• Providing up to 21% energy efficiency
• Reducing steam by up to 80% for a better indoor climate
• Decreasing residual moisture by up to 98% on dishes and 75% on glasses for quicker drying

MEIKO dishwashers are available in 7 categories:

• Undercounter Dishwashers
