Review Paper on Plate Drying System for Commercial Dish Washing Machine

This review paper explores the development of an automated Plate Drying System for commercial dishwashing machines, aiming to improve both hygiene and operational efficiency in kitchen environments. Traditional dishwashing machines often leave plates wet, necessitating manual drying, which increases labor and poses hygiene risks. The proposed system utilizes high-velocity air blowers, infrared heating, and optimized airflow, all controlled by a PLC equipped with real-time humidity and temperature sensors to efficiently remove moisture from various plate materials without causing damage. Designed to be modular, energy-efficient, and low-noise, the system can either integrate into existing setups or function independently. Through CFD simulations and experimental testing, the system’s performance is optimized to reduce drying time, energy consumption, and manual labor, presenting a sustainable solution for modern food service operations.
