FT1000Se-ER

Overview

The Hobart FT1000Se-ER is an electric, energy-recovery flight-type dishwasher for commercial dishwashing lines. Dishes and other ware move through the machine on a variable-speed conveyor. The specification identifies a 30-inch (762 mm) conveyor, dual rinse, automatic soil removal (ASR), and final-rinse water consumption of 58 US gallons (220 L) per hour. Energy recovery is a standard feature of the model described in Hobart’s Canadian specification.

This is a long, configurable machine rather than a compact undercounter or door-type dishwasher. Hobart lists multiple machine layouts with different prewash, wash and unload section lengths. The exact overall dimensions depend on the selected configuration; the manufacturer states that overall machine length is dimension “A” plus 14-13/16 inches. Confirm the selected layout and its connection requirements against the applicable product documentation before specifying a unit.

Key Features

• Energy recovery: Energy recovery is included in the FT1000Se specification.
• Dual rinse: The machine has a dual-rinse system and a pumped rinse system; Hobart notes that a pressure gauge is not required for the pumped system.
• Automatic soil removal: The ASR system removes soil automatically. The machine specification also includes ASR access and a separate indicator for a drain valve that is not closed correctly.
• Digital controls and diagnostics: Digital controls provide machine diagnostics. The listed indicators include a low-temperature alert, an open-door indicator and an indicator for drain valves that are not closed correctly.
• Conveyor: A variable-speed conveyor moves ware through the machine. The listed conveyor width is 30 inches (762 mm).
• Cleaning features: Hobart lists automatic cleaning, automatic descaling and self-cleaning wash arms without end caps. Stainless-steel scrap pans and baskets are removable.
• Insulated doors: Standard hinged, cabinet-style doors are insulated. Split, vertically sliding insulated doors are listed as an optional extra-cost configuration.
• Electric heat: The specification identifies an electric booster heater.
• Motor construction: The prewash and power-wash motors are listed as 3½ HP.
• Controls at both ends: On/off switches are provided at both ends of the machine.

Configuration dimensions listed by Hobart

Operation

The FT1000Se-ER processes ware as it travels along the conveyor, whose speed is variable. Hobart lists on/off switches at both ends, digital machine controls and diagnostics, and a dual-rinse arrangement. The specification does not provide a cycle-time table or detailed operating procedure, so those should be confirmed in the operating documentation for the specific installation.

Operators can use the listed indicators to identify conditions the machine reports: low temperature, an open door, or a drain valve that is not properly closed. These are status and alert features; the specification does not provide fault codes or repair steps.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Automatic cleaning and automatic descaling are listed features. The wash arms are described as self-cleaning and have no end caps. Hobart also specifies removable stainless-steel scrap pans and baskets, allowing these soil-collection components to be taken out. The supplied information does not state a cleaning schedule, chemical requirements or maintenance interval.

Troubleshooting

The product specification identifies machine diagnostics and three operator-facing indications: a low-temperature alert, an open-door indicator and an indicator for drain valves that are not closed correctly. These features can help identify a reported condition, but the available documentation excerpt does not provide troubleshooting sequences, fault-code definitions or corrective repair instructions. Consult the machine’s applicable service or operating documentation for those procedures.

Applications

The FT1000Se-ER’s flight-type conveyor format is suited to commercial kitchens that wash ware in a continuous dishroom line, such as institutional foodservice, large dining operations and production kitchens. Its configuration-specific conveyor and chamber layout options let a project specify a machine arrangement for its dishroom line. The Canadian specification lists the conveyor, wash-system and layout details, but does not state a dishes-per-hour rating; confirm throughput requirements for the exact configuration with the manufacturer or equipment supplier.
