Abstract (en)

In a hood-type industrial dishwasher including a hood (1) mounted on vertical guides arranged on the rear wall of the stationary lower part of said dishwasher, so as to slide vertically along the guides with the help of balancing springs (8) suitable to limit the hood opening/closing effort, the guides are telescopic guides (3) including sliding parts (2) on which the hood (1) is secured. The movement of the sliding parts (2) is driven by cables (4) on which the balancing springs (8) act through mobile pulleys (6) arranged on plates (7) that are mounted in a rotatable way on the dishwasher structure and drivable by a piston (10), the whole hood moving mechanism being arranged on the back of the dishwasher. In this way, it is possible to dispense with the bulky and potentially dangerous lateral levers and springs of conventional hood-type dishwashers by achieving the hood moving through a mechanism fully arranged on the back of the machine. This results in a smaller width of the dishwasher, an increased safety and a great easiness of the external cleaning operations.
