iNova Heated Recovery Pass-Through Dishwasher - WHC-502TRCBD

The iNova WHC-502TRCBD is a pass-through (hood-type) dishwasher with heat recovery: it uses the heat in its own exhaust steam to pre-warm incoming water. It washes up to 40 baskets an hour in a 500 x 500 mm basket, takes ware up to 450 mm high, and runs on 415 V three-phase.

Why operators choose the WHC-502TRCBD

• Heat recovery — steam that a standard hood machine releases into the room when the hood lifts is captured and used to pre-heat the incoming water. That means less energy to heat the rinse, and a cooler, less humid wash area for the person unloading it
• Up to 40 baskets an hour, with wash cycles of 90, 120, 180 and 480 seconds — the long cycle is for heavily soiled pots and trays
• 450 mm maximum ware height — tall enough for most stockpots, sheet pans and gastronorm pans on their edge
• 2.2 L of water per cycle, wash at 60 °C and rinse at 85 °C, with temperatures controlled by electronic probes
• Drain pump, detergent dispenser and rinse-aid dispenser fitted, plus a double-stage filter and twin rotating wash and rinse systems in 304 stainless steel
• Safety and diagnostics: a magnetic switch stops the cycle if the hood is opened, and fault codes show on the display
• Supplied with a dish basket, a glass basket and a cutlery container; recorded as Watermark approved
• 2 years parts and labour

Specifications

Venue suitability

A heat-recovery pass-through machine suits busy restaurants, hotels, clubs, hospitals and function venues that wash all service long — the places where the steam cloud from an ordinary hood machine makes the dish area unpleasant to work in, and where the hot water bill is large enough for heat recovery to matter.

Installation & delivery

415 V three-phase, 9.75 kW — a licensed electrician must connect it. The supplier states it can be converted to single phase, but no single-phase rating is recorded, so do not plan on that without confirming with us. Mains-pressure water and a plumber for the water and waste; the drain pump is fitted. Heat recovery reduces the steam released into the room, but whether your site needs extraction over the dish area is set by local requirements — check with your mechanical contractor. 630 x 750 mm footprint, 1975 mm recorded height (the record does not say whether that is hood up or down), net weight 117 kg.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does heat recovery actually do?

When the hood lifts, a standard dishwasher releases a cloud of hot steam into the room. This machine captures that heat and uses it to pre-warm the incoming water, so less energy goes into heating the rinse and less steam reaches the person unloading it.

Q: What power does it need?

A 415 V three-phase supply with neutral, rated at 9.75 kW, connected by a licensed electrician. The supplier says it can be converted to single phase, but no single-phase rating is recorded - ask us before planning that.

Q: Does it remove the need for an exhaust hood?

It reduces the steam released into the room, but whether your dish area needs extraction is decided by local requirements, not by the machine. Check with your mechanical contractor.

Q: How tall can the ware be?

Up to 450 mm, in a 500 x 500 mm basket.

Q: What warranty does it carry?

2 years parts and labour. See our warranty information page for the general terms.
