Basic Machine with one (1) 4-foot Prewash Unit

Design and Construction: The W-6 is a fully-automatic dishwashing

machine consisting of four modular sections: load, prewash, wash-rinse
and unload. This machine is constructed entirely of heavy-gauge stainless
steel. The stainless steel angle frame provides a rigid, heavy-duty
support for internal components, tanks and hoods, enhancing the
reliability and extending the service life of the machine.

Tanks: Prewash, wash and power rinse units each have dual tanks

which extend the full length and width of the spray areas. Removable,
heavy-duty refuse screens cover each tank to keep water fresh and
clean. Spacious access doors with cold handles are positioned on
each side of the prewash, wash and power rinse units allowing easy
access for cleaning. Each tank has a stainless steel skim-type overflow
tube, and strainers protect the pump suction inlet and drain outlet.

Pumps and Motors: The pumps provide high-pressure recirculating

spray. Each drip-proof pump motor is wired through a magnetic
contactor and has thermal overload.

Built-in Booster Heater: An optional steam booster heater provides

180°F final rinse water (minimum inlet temperature 110°F). The
boosters, which are mounted inside the frame of the machine, are
completely interwired and interplumbed with the machine.

Energy Sentinel: The standard “energy sentinel” automatically

operates the pumps only when ware is present in the machine. An
electric beam located at the entrance of the prewash starts the pumps.

Spray System:
Prewash, Wash and Rinse: The prewash, wash and power rinse units

have two sets of stationary upper and lower stainless steel spray arms
providing “water knife” cleaning action across every surface of the
ware. The spray arms are interchangeable and feature easily
removable end caps for fast, thorough cleaning.

EcoRinse: This unique feature captures and recirculates the final rinse

water. The water is circulated at 170°F through quick release stainless
steel spray arms.

Final Rinse: Fresh 180°F sanitizing spray is distributed through upper

and lower spray arms which extend across the full width of the conveyor.

Rinse Saver: The standard rinse saver device conserves water and

heating energy by operating the final rinse only when ware
is present in the final rinse area.

Tank Heating and Filling System: The “power on” switch automatically

fills the prewash, wash and rinse tanks to proper level and turns on the
wash and rinse tank heaters and the optional booster heater. Tank
temperatures are maintained at the proper level by thermostatically
controlled steam coils or steam injectors.

Upright Conveyor Belt: The standard all-purpose peg belt is designed

to accept dishes, cup and glass racks, and food service utensils. The belt
is constructed of molded plastic links on stainless steel cross rods. To
withstand heavy use, the center supports extend the entire length of the
conveyor. A standard electric eye shutoff switch stops the conveyor when
ware reaches the end of the unload section. For operator safety the
conveyor is restarted by using the standard start/stop station located
at either end of the machine.

Dimensions and connections vary depending
on length of unload section.

Plumbing Notes: Because of the variation in

house-supplied steam and water pressures, steam
and water pressure regulating valves (PRVs) are
needed (water PRV is standard on machines with
built-in booster). The PRVs can either be purchased
from Champion or obtained locally.

Warning: Plumbing and electrical connections
should be made by qualified workmen who will
observe all the applicable plumbing, sanitary,
safety codes and the National Electrical Code.

Note: Water Hammer Arrestor (meeting ASSE­1010 standard or equivalent) to be supplied
(by others) in common water supply line at
service connection.
