Blakeslee invented the first commercial dishwashers and we continue to lead the industry with rack dish machine designs that are more durable, energy and water efficient, easier to use and just more productive—by design!

Blakeslee means Durability

Top and bottom mounted water jets provide torrential cleaning action in the Pre-Wash, Wash & Rinse Tanks.
Blakeslee dishwashers are designed and manufactured in America’s Heartland to the highest performance and reliability standards, with the best materials available, by skilled craftsmen proud of our heritage of innovation and quality! Only Blakeslee Rack-Type Dishwashers feature:
  • A patented Internal Recirculation System that eliminates external pumps, risers and plumbing.

  • Custom made self-draining stainless steel one-piece sump-manifolds, with stainless impellers.

  • One piece welded spray pipes and spray boxes that are self-cleaning, won’t clog or need replacement.

  • An all stainless steel main frame that provides tank stability and extra strength.

  • A maintenance-free all-stainless dual pawl drive designed to resist any jam, without damage.

  • Slide-out, heavy-duty sectional scrap screens that cover each tank.

  • The maintenance-free all-stainless belt drive has a built-in safe switch.

  • Slide-out, heavy-duty sectional scrap screens cover each tank.

Blakeslee means Efficiency

One piece upper and lower spray manifolds have no loose parts and are easy to remove for cleaning.
The Blakeslee Quick-Start Plus Consumption Saver reduces water usage and the energy used to heat wash and pre-wash water by:
  • Initially filling the Rinse Tank with both 140 and 180° F water;

  • Then pumping it into the Wash Tank at about 160° F.

  • An overflow fills the Pre-Wash Tank from the Wash Tank.

  • Makeup water is also pumped from the Rinse Tank. Cleaning water and its heat energy is recycled and used in all tanks.

  • “Economizer” rack sensor system reduces rinse water usage.

  • When steam is available, steam injection or steam shell heated models can be specified to reduce water-heating costs.

  • We use a photo sensor with no moving parts to activate the final rinse and conserve water.

Blakeslee means Performance

All stainless steel frame construction for durability and bolt-on stainless legs for installation flexibly.

Blakeslee rack-type dishwashers outperform competitive models, with:

  • Upper spray pipes and lower “Sani-Stream” spray boxes that deliver torrential spray volume and complete coverage, for more effective cleaning action.

  • Our Quick-Start System reduces the initial waiting time for all tanks to come up to temperature.

  • Quick-Start Plus Consumption Saver means 160° F water [not 140° F] is used in the Wash Tank, which cuts grease and improves cleaning action.

Blakeslee means Ease of Use

Safety and better working conditions is key to employee efficiency and reducing staff turnover. Blakeslee Rack-Type Dishwashers are easier to load, unload, clean and maintain.

  • Our lower 57-1/2" overall unit height doesn’t block the view and is easier to clean.

  • 30" wide doors provide easy access for tank cleaning.

  • Upper spray manifolds and lower spray boxes are easy to remove for cleaning.

  • Safety cut-off switches are provided on all doors.

  • The stainless steel Control Panel Enclosure is mounted at eye-level, above unit.

Blakeslee means Design Flexibility

A Blakeslee Rack-Type Dishwashing System can be designed to fit the space, layout and structural constraints of any dishroom. They can be sized to meet your peak demand for clean ware, with:

  • One, two or three tank models, plus pre-wash combinations;

  • Multiple modular tank sizes [lengths] to match dishroom space, dish volume and budget requirements;

  • Your choice of electric, gas or steam [coil or injection] Tank Heating

Available OPTIONS include:

Blakeslee Rack-A-Round Systems

Blakeslee Rack-A-Round Systems integrate our modular rack-type sections in a continuous, closed loop configuration that can be designed as a compact oval, square, rectangle or even a triangle. Any of these conveyor configurations provide more rack staging area or can be used to separate loading areas, unloading areas and machine location in different rooms. If multi-tank warewashers are too long for a single side, our Pre-Wash, Wash or Rinse Modules can be positioned on different sides. We can help you design a Rack-A-Round System that is ideal for your facility or plan!
