Spülmaschinenentwicklung

Spülmaschinen, also known as dishwashers, are household appliances designed to automate the cleaning of dishware, cutlery, and cookware. They typically consist of a water-resistant compartment that holds the items to be washed. Inside, a system of rotating spray arms disperses hot water and detergent, loosening and removing food debris. After the washing cycle, the water is drained, and the dishes are rinsed and often dried using heat or air circulation.

The operation of a dishwasher involves several stages. First, pre-rinsing may occur to remove loose particles. Then, the main wash cycle uses hot water and detergent at elevated temperatures to effectively sanitize and clean. This is followed by one or more rinse cycles to remove all traces of detergent. Finally, a drying phase completes the process. Modern dishwashers offer various programs tailored to different load types and levels of soiling, such as delicate cycles for glassware, intensive cycles for heavily soiled pots, and eco-friendly options that use less water and energy.

Dishwashers are valued for their convenience, hygiene, and potential for water and energy savings compared to manual washing, especially when run with a full load. They have become a common fixture in kitchens worldwide, contributing to efficient household management.
