Why choose a Dishwashing & Prep Unit?
A compact, full-production solution for operations that need commercial cooking capacity without the footprint of a mutli-unit facility.
Keeps staff focused on production, not dish duty
Separating warewashing from cooking means your kitchen crew stays on the line producing meals while a dedicated team handles dish flow in their own trailer.
Seamlessly pairs with your existing Single unit
Designed to connect alongside any KCI production kitchen — Single, 3-Wide, or 5-Wide. Same utility standards, same code compliance, positioned side-by-side on your campus.
What clients are asking
The unit handles 243 racks per hour up to 20,000 dishes per hour, depending on the dish machine configuration. All dish machines are NSF-approved and UL-listed with proper ventilation and exhaust systems. Dishwashing racks are provided by KCI — you do not need to source your own.
Both. In addition to the full warewashing setup — dish machine, clean and soiled tables, 3-compartment sink, and garbage disposal — the unit includes a dedicated preparation area with stainless steel worktables and hand sinks. This makes it a complete support trailer that handles both cleaning and food prep alongside any production kitchen.
Yes. The unit is designed to work alongside any of our production kitchen trailers — Single, 3-Wide, or 5-Wide. If your facility already has cooking capacity but needs dedicated warewashing and prep space during a renovation, this unit fills that gap without requiring a full kitchen deployment.
