Classeq Pass Through Dishwasher CP500WSSR-22 with Steam Recovery Unit

The Classeq CP500WSSR-22 with Steam Recovery Unit and Integral Water Softener is an extremely powerful, three-phase (22 amps/phase) hood-type pass-through dishwasher, specifically designed for high-demand professional kitchens. Not only is it WRAS Approved, but it also features a large 12kW boiler element that delivers fast heat-up times and performance. Moreover, its versatile configuration supports both straight-through and corner setups, making it especially suitable for pubs, restaurants, schools, care homes, and hospitals.

Manufactured in the UK

Built in Staffordshire, Classeq ensures its commercial dishwashers meet the highest standards of quality and engineering. In addition, the CP500WSSR-22 model includes a reduced 30 litre wash tank, which significantly reduces water consumption while also lowering overall running costs. Thanks to the continuous hood cleaning system, daily maintenance and cleaning become much simpler for staff.

Features and Functionality

This UK-made machine features a digital control panel that clearly displays temperatures for both the wash and rinse tanks. In addition, staff can select 1.5, 3, 5, or 7 minute wash cycles to tackle varying levels of soiling. Moreover, the intuitive two-button switch panel lets operators start and control cycles quickly, making everyday use simple and reliable.

Smart onboard software continuously tracks water usage, temperature, and cycle count in real time. As a result, it delivers actionable insights that help staff improve performance and efficiency. Meanwhile, the colour-coded display highlights the wash cycle status at a glance, allowing staff to monitor progress effortlessly.

An integral rinse booster pump maintains both water pressure and temperature during the crucial rinse cycle. Consequently, it rinses and sanitises all crockery to a high standard every time. In addition, operators can activate temperature interlocks from the control panel, ensuring the machine reaches required temperatures and giving full confidence in hygiene compliance.

Built-in Bluetooth® connectivity gives operators and service technicians instant access to machine settings, performance data, user guides, and service information. On top of that, the machine offers practical extras including an optional audible alarm for cycle completion, a deep-clean programme, a refresh cycle, and an energy-saving standby mode.

Importantly, unlike some alternatives, the machine also includes a built-in drain pump, removing the need for staff to handle a drain plug manually. Therefore, at the end of the day, staff simply switch off the machine and press the drain button, making shutdown fast and effortless. Moreover, the pump allows flexible installation even in areas without gravity drainage, providing staff with maximum convenience and adaptability.

Built-in Water Softener: Compact Yet Essential

In hard water areas, a softener is essential—not just to achieve spotless results on tea and coffee cups, but also to prevent limescale-related maintenance issues. However, when kitchen space is tight and external softeners aren’t practical, the Classeq CP500WSSR range provides the perfect solution. Its integrated water softener requires only occasional salt top-ups, guided by simple prompts on the control panel—making the whole process both efficient and user-friendly.

Steam Recovery System

What sets this model apart is its new steam recovery feature. Instead of releasing hot steam into the kitchen, it captures and reuses the heat to preheat incoming water. As a result, it boosts energy efficiency and creates a more comfortable working environment—without requiring additional extraction systems.
Designed for the demands of high-volume professional kitchens, the Classeq CP500WSSR-22 combines steam recovery and an integral water softener to deliver consistent, high-quality washing results with smart, energy-saving operation.
