When it comes to purchasing commercial equipment for a busy kitchen such as those of a restaurant or foodservice business, efficient warewashing will always top the list of priorities with a range of factors to consider.
There are several types of dishwashers such as conveyor dishwashers, hood type dishwashing machines, undercounter dishwashers, and glass washers, each suited for different applications and levels of service.
Given the variety of dishwashing machines at MEIKO, we are going to focus on conveyor dishwashers, more specifically the UPster K and its key features for it to be considered for your commercial kitchen.
WHAT IS MEIKO UPster K CONVEYOR DISHWASHER?
At MEIKO, we have a few ranges of conveyor dishwashers such as the M-iQ (made in Germany), UPster K (available from Germany and China), UPster B, and K200M (assembled in China).
These conveyor dishwasher models are part of MEIKO's rack type and flight type dishwashing machines. While the two types of conveyor dishwashers are similar to each other, we will focus on UPster K which is one of MEIKO's rack type dishwashing machines.
The UPster K range is the quickest and easiest way to access MEIKO's professional warewashing technology while offering clean technology for:
- Efficient cleaning performance

It is also the ideal dishwasher for areas that need rack solutions.
KEY FEATURES OF UPster K CONVEYOR DISHWASHER
To provide outstanding performance and a compact footprint, the UPster K range of conveyor dishwashers are equipped with a range of features that can meet various dishwashing capacities. The key features include:
INTUITIVE OPERATION
The intuitive operating concept of UPster K conveyor dishwasher allows for optimum operator experience as the use of an innovative glass display panel enables clear communication between the operator and the dishwashing machine.
In addition, it helps to keep the operator fully informed at every stage of the washing process and displays functions that are currently available or currently in progress. This effectively eliminates the risk of operator error as all key information is available at a glance.
EASE OF USE
MEIKO uses a striking blue to mark all of the components and parts of its dishwashing machines which users can interact with. This user-friendly indicator helps to make life easier for users without requiring words or long instruction manuals.
This is also MEIKO’s way of simplifying the communication between its conveyor dishwashers and their operators to make the operation as easy and efficient as possible during the kitchen’s peak hours.
WASH CYCLE
Providing ultimate wash performance with minimum space requirement, the UPster K conveyor dishwasher can wash between 80 and 340 racks per hour according to different countries requirements.
For instance, the UPster K-L 340 is the largest in its range, doubling up on everything the smallest UPster K has to offer. It has an additional pre-wash zone and a complete second washing system for maximum performance and cleanliness. Also, its compact design doesn't compromise the machine's compliance to international warewashing hygiene standards.
PASSING HEIGHT
