Granule Combi is not just a pot washer – it’s a pot washing
system. To benet from its full potential, there are a few details

Over the years, we have tried and tested a number of solutions in
close consultation with our suppliers and clients. We would like
to share some of our ndings with you.
We hope that you nd the following information of some use as
you specify our Granule Combi.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS.
Along a wall.. ... or in a corner?
ALONG A WALL.
The pass through design makes
Granule Combi machines suitable for
narrow spaces. No swing-space for
doors is needed.
IN A CORNER.
Placing the machine in the corner
optimizes space and work ow in
small areas.
INTEGRATED WITH CROCKERY
LOADING STATION.
Intergrating a Granule Combi wash
solution in a table system that
includes a loading station provides a
smooth ow in the kitchen.
Don’t forget...
Always install Granule Combi with a rinsing station - although the
Granule Technology™ is an efcient No Pre-Washing concept,
tableware such as plates, cups and cutlery are too sensitive to be
washed with PowerGranules and will still need pre-rinsing.

FOLDABLE COMBI TABLE.
Ideal for the smaller kitchen area.
• The foldable Combi table can be installed on either side
or at the front of the machine. When not in use, the
table folds down and hangs vertically along the side of
the machine to create more space around it. (see picture
below.)
N.B. The Combi Table is suitable for kitchens with a low
crockery ow, as it only allows one crockery basket at a time.
For larger quantities, larger inlet and outlet tabling will be
necessary.
• Some of our customers with a machine installed along the
wall have chosen to install a Combi table at the front of
the machine. The crockery is fed in along the wall and the
Combi table is used to support the potwash basket. When
the potwashing is done for the day, the table is folded to its
vertical position and out of the way.
E.g. we have this particular solution installed in a kitchen
preparing 150 meals/day, washing up to 40-45 crockery
baskets and 10-15 potwash baskets a day.

COMBINED CROCKERY AND
POT WASH TABLING.
COMBINED TABLE FOR POTS & PANS AND
CROCKERY.
The combined table ts both standard crockery baskets
(500 x 500 mm) and the Granule Combi standard pot
wash basket.
Please note that the minimum width for the tabling to t
the pot wash basket (GD 102) is 740 mm. To t standard
crockery baskets the minimum width is 510 mm.
suitable for installation along wall
suitable for a corner installation
can be used as entry and exit table.
DIMENSIONS.
Some prefer a longer exit table than entry table, as a
longer exit area creates a better ow, especially with
crockery.
A 1,600 mm long table is enough to t 3 crockery
baskets or 2 potbaskets.
A 1,100 mm long table is enough to t 2 crockery
baskets or 1 potbasket.
CONNECTING INLET OR OUTLET TABLE SYSTEM.
To connect the combination table (740 mm wide) to a
standard crockery table, the edge where the two tables
will dock must be narrowed in to a width of 510 mm.
740 mm
Tip!
Make sure there is a gap of at least 300 mm between the
table leg and the machine to allow for service access as
required.
Tables with grill racks underneath are handy for i.e.
storing baskets when not in use.

REAL CASES OF POT WASH TABLING
INSTALLATION EXAMPLES.
1. TWO-IN-ONE SOLUTION.
Kitchens serving up to 300 meals/day will manage both
crockery and pot wash with a Granule Combi® (depending on
crockery mix).
Also kitchens serving up to 300 hot meals/day with up to 1,000
parallell Meals On Wheels*, will manage both crockery and pots
with a Granule Combi® wash solution.
Kitchens serving more than 300 meals/day will need a separate
washing solution for crockery. However, the Granule Combi still
is a very smart choice, as it’s a handy support during peakhours and can replace the crockery station altogether in periods
with less than 300 eating guests.
PIC. 1
2. COMBI MODE USED AS SUPPORT DURING
PEAK-HOURS.
Combined tables used for entry- and exit for crockery and
pot wash running in the same line, alternating as the need
demands. The Granule Combi in this solution offers an excellent
support for the crockery wash during peak-hours.
Designing the entry table to t either 3 pot wash baskets or
8 crockery baskets creates an ultimate ow and capacity for
a kitchen serving 600 hot meals per day or more where the
Granule Combi acts as a support to the crockery line during
peak-hours. In periods when serving less than 300 hot meals
per day, there’s no need to start up the conveyor machine
means lower water, energy and detergent cost.
3. INTEGRATED CROCKERY LOADING STATION.
Combination table used as entry tabling (also rinsing station for
crockery and scraping station for pots/pans
(as in picture 2, right).
The crockery loading is ideally located on the left side of the
combination table.
When connecting a crockery line to the short end of the table,
a dock opening of 510 mm is recommended to allow a 500 x
500 mm basket to slide freely.
Exit table also features a combination table (crockery/pots+pans).
In this particular table solution crockery and pots+pans run in
the same line, alternating as the need demands.

DOCKING TABLES TO THE MACHINE.
(combined crockery/pot wash table)
Make sure the
tabling align
with and cover
the facets of the
machine (left).
Tabling must not
be allowed to
overlap or hang
over the edge into
107 mm
107 mm
the wash tank, as
it will interfere with
the rubber seal
meant to keep the
hood closed tight
during washing
(see right).
The table should
be secured to the
machine using
screws and predrilled holes.

how the connection
of the table to the

NOTES AND SKETCHES
TIPS & TRICKS WHEN PLANNING TABLING.
MINIMUM WIDTH.
The minimum width to t the Standard Wash Basket is
740 mm
To t standard crockery baskets, minimum width is
510 mm.
CONNECTING TABLING TO MACHINE.
Please avoid hanging the tabling into the wash tank over
the rim, as it will interfere with the rubber sealing and will
also disturb the hood motion.
For more detailed information on how to dock tabling to
the machine, please see page 8.
LET THE CROCKERY TRACK BE 20 MM LOWER
THAN THE POTWASH TRACK.
Place slide bars/rolls for the crockery basket path 20 mm
lower than the potwash track to allow both basket types
glide more smoothly.
COVER THE FACETS.
Make sure to cover the facets of the machine with the
tabling (see picture) to prevent food and water from
dripping onto the oor.
300 MM SERVICE SPACE.
Make sure to leave at least 300 mm space between the
machine and the table legs to enable servicing of the
machine without detaching the tables.
DIRTIES INLET FOR CROCKERY / POTS & PANS
INTO THE WASHING AREA.
Through crockery loading station.
Make sure the loading station is wide/long enough to t at
least 4 baskets at a time, to allow sorting of the crockery
before entering the entry table leading up to the Granule
Combi machine.
740 mm
Positioning of crockery (red) and pot wash (blue) tracks.
Crockery and pots combined.
Crockery, pots and pans come in trough the same
passage. Make sure there is enough space to allow
separating the crockery, pots and pans all come in from
the same pass. The more organised the in-ow of the
items, the more efcient washing-up area.
Cover the facets.
