No other control system allows easier
monitoring.

The controls are placed in a convenient panel that
lets operators verify proper operation and tempera­tures at a glance. Indicator
lights show the unit is on,
and a light confirms that the
doors are closed. Automatic
door interlocks prevent the
pump and conveyor from
operating if the doors are
open. Large, easy-to-read
gauges show accurate tem­peratures of the 160°F wash, and 180°F final rinse
— critical for proper HACCP system record-keeping.

Stainless steel pump is
built for long life.

The stainless steel pump
housing and impeller offer
greater durability and long
life. The pump motor is
totally enclosed and fan
cooled (TEFC) to protect it
from water spray during

dishroom clean-up. The
pump is also externally mounted to the frame for
added rigidity and easy access to the clean-out port.

Scrap baskets
capture food
particles and are
easy to clean.

The sloped screens that
carry scraps to the
scrap baskets are
steeper, so less soil
gets into the tanks. The basket opening is larger
for easy cleaning and basket handles have been
designed for easy lift-out access.

The FT900S saves water
and energy.

The unit is designed to cut
water and energy usage, yet
provide effective cleaning and
sanitizing that meet NSF
International requirements.

FLIGHT-TYPE DISHWASHER

This is achieved through a carefully balanced ratio of
water flow to pressure. At 292 gallons per minute
(gpm), the machine offers excellent wetting and
flooding over ware. Insulated doors also reduce heat
loss. The unit’s 1.9 gpm/114 gallons per hour rinse
flow rate (the lowest in the industry on a standard
height machine) saves both water and the energy to
heat it.

Wider, variable speed
conveyor offers
increased throughput.

The conveyor on the
FT900S is wider so it can

handle more ware. Result:
more volume and versatility,
quicker work. Its speed is
servicer adjustable for the type
of ware, soiled condition, or
workforce requirements. It can
be adjusted from 4 to 6.3 feet
per minute, handling up to
10,025 pieces of ware per hour
(NSF rating).

Flush arm keeps load
end clean.

The load end also has a
readily removable flush arm
to rinse food scraps into the
prewash area scrap basket.

Self-draining pumps help keep water clean.

Pumps are self-draining when the machine is shut
down, so there is no residual water left in the pumps.

Installation is quick and easy with modular
design, minimal wiring connections, and
single point vent.

Modular design means the FT900S installs quickly,
and reliably. Sections fit through 42" doors. The
control panel is already in place, premounted to the
power wash/final rinse section.

Wiring connections are minimal,
and there is only a single vent
connection, saving time and
expense. The control box
uses a “single plane” circuitry
design for easy accessibility
during installation and service. The FT900S is ready
to run quickly.
