FT1000Se-ER-BD

Overview

The Hobart FT1000Se-ER-BD is a flight-type commercial dishwasher included in Hobart’s FT1000e Series Dishwashers replacement-parts manual. The manual names this model alongside the FT1000e, FT1000e-ER, FT1000Se, and other related series configurations. Hobart’s FT1000Se Energy Recovery Electric specification sheet provides the family-level performance and planning information relevant to the energy-recovery electric version. It describes a conveyor dishwasher with pre-wash, power wash, dual-rinse, and final-rinse sections, and provides layouts for both left-to-right and right-to-left operation. The available documents do not specify which direction is supplied for an individual FT1000Se-ER-BD.

The published family capacity is 10,611 dishes per hour, with conveyor speed from 4.0 to 6.3 feet per minute. These are specification-sheet figures for the FT1000Se energy-recovery electric family, rather than a separately stated test result for a particular installation or ware mix.

Key Features

• Energy-recovery electric family: The relevant Hobart specification sheet is titled FT1000Se Energy Recovery Electric.
• Flight-type conveyor washing: The machine moves ware through pre-wash, power-wash, dual-rinse, and final-rinse sections.
• High stated throughput: The family specification lists 10,611 dishes per hour and a conveyor speed range of 4.0–6.3 feet per minute.
• Automatic soil removal: The listed specifications include an Auto Soil Removal tank and an ASR Wash motor.
• Ware opening: The energy-recovery specification sheet states that a 22-inch-high by 29-13/16-inch-wide opening will handle 18-by-26-inch bun pans.

Installation & Requirements

Electrical service

The energy-recovery electric sheet lists a single-point electrical connection for 480/60/3 service at 90.6 rated amps, with 125 minimum supply circuit ampacity and a 125 maximum protective device. It also lists 600/60/3 service at 72.3 rated amps, with 100 minimum supply circuit ampacity and a 100 maximum protective device. These are the connection options stated in the sheet; verify the actual machine configuration and site electrical plans before specifying service.

The sheet specifies a minimum service-wire temperature rating of 90°C. Detergent and rinse-aid feeder service connections are standard on FT1000e models at machine line voltage. The dishwasher is not provided with internal GFCI protection. Hobart warns that plumbing and electrical connections are to be made by qualified personnel observing applicable codes.

Water and plumbing

For the energy-recovery electric version, Hobart recommends building flowing hot-water pressure of 40–45 PSI and flowing cold-water pressure of 30–35 PSI. If the cold-water supply is below 55°F, the sheet directs the reader to contact sales engineering. A water-hammer arrestor meeting ASSE-1010 or equivalent is to be supplied by others in both the hot- and cold-water supply lines at the service connection.

Required water quality is total hardness below 3 grains per gallon and total suspended solids below 10 microns. The sheet recommends a nearby water tap with a 30-foot heavy-duty hose and squeeze valve for cleaning convenience.

Ventilation and layout

The energy-recovery sheet states that a back-draft preventer is required in the ventilation system at the roof penetration to prevent the energy-recovery unit from freezing; it is supplied and installed by others. Room ventilation is required to handle the machine’s latent and sensible heat, and vent-fan control is standard on FT1000e models.

Hobart recommends 24 inches of wall clearance and gives 6 inches as the minimum when the detergent dispenser is on top. Strainer pans require 35 inches of clearance for removal, so the sheet calls for additional clearance where needed. The stated 22-inch-high by 29-13/16-inch-wide opening accommodates 18-by-26-inch bun pans. These planning notes should be checked against the chosen machine layout and the surrounding room.

Applications

The specification sheet identifies the standard conveyor as suitable for general ware, including plates and bowls, most serving trays with a lip height under 1¼ inches, and preparation ware such as hotel and sheet pans. It also describes optional cross-rods at every fourth row for added support of heavier ware, including oversized ware and mixing bowls, and to promote drainage of hotel pans. Optional stainless-steel conveyors are available by request according to the sheet. These conveyor options are accessories or configuration choices; the documents do not establish which, if any, is included with a specific FT1000Se-ER-BD.

For project planning, use the published throughput and ware-opening information alongside the room layout, electrical service, water quality, supply pressure, and ventilation requirements. The supplied documents do not provide operating instructions, cleaning procedures, troubleshooting steps, or a maintenance schedule for this model.
