Vogue K909 500x500mm Commercial Dish Washer Peg Rack | Plate & Tray Basket

Speed up kitchen scullery workflow, protect expensive dinnerware from chipping, and achieve rapid drying times with the Vogue K909 500x500mm Commercial Dish Washer Peg Rack. Purpose-engineered for Australian commercial kitchens, high-turnover restaurants, cafes, pub bistros, aged care sculleries, and catering venues, this industry-standard 500 mm × 500 mm wash basket features reinforced moulded upright pegs designed to hold dinner plates, platters, saucers, and shallow food trays securely in an optimal tilted wash position.

Precision Moulded Peg Matrix with Plate-Lock Stability

Plates that rattle or touch during high-pressure wash cycles suffer chipped rims, cracked glazing, and incomplete cleaning. The Vogue K909 incorporates an engineered peg layout with tapered, structural pegs (80 mm high, 11.46 mm wide at the base, and 9.78 mm at the top) set with a 45 mm spacing gap. This geometry supports small saucers up to oversized 320 mm restaurant dinner plates, leaning each piece at the calibrated angle to prevent water pooling while preventing contact between items.

Open-Profile Mesh Base for Rapid Evaporative Drying

Trapped water extends drying times and leaves unsightly mineral water spots on ceramic glazing. The K909 is designed with an open-lattice bottom grid that permits high-velocity wash and rinse sprays from upper and lower rotating arms to hit every surface directly. The uninhibited drainage accelerates evaporative drying the moment the rack rolls out of the machine, keeping pace with busy service lines and reducing the need for hand-polishing.

Heavy-Duty Commercial-Grade Polypropylene Build

Commercial sculleries subject dish racks to high chemical concentrations, mechanical wear, and 85°C thermal sanitising rinse temperatures. Moulded from chemical-resistant, food-safe polypropylene, the K909 resists warping, cracking, or degrading from heavy detergents, rinse aids, or caustic grease. Weighing an easy-to-handle 1.65 kg, the lightweight design reduces repetitive strain on kitchen hands and kitchen stewards when lifting full racks onto sorting benches or dish trolleys.

Universal 500x500mm Compatibility with Smooth-Glide Rounded Corners

Measuring 500(W) x 500(D) x 100(H) mm, the K909 conforms to universal Australian commercial warewashing standards. It fits effortlessly into:

• Commercial undercounter front-loading dishwashers (including Fagor, Smeg, Hobart, Asber, Eurowash, and Sammic)

• Pass-through hood-type dishwashers with standard inlet and outlet tabling

• Commercial rack conveyors and underbench wash runners

Its contoured, rounded exterior corners ensure smooth gliding over stainless steel rack slides, roller tables, and door tracks without jamming, catching, or scratching bench surfaces.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal 500x500mm Footprint: Standard dimensions fit virtually all Australian commercial front-loading and pass-through dishwashers.

Scullery Care & Handling Guidelines

To maintain rack hygiene and long operational life in commercial kitchens:

1. Daily Debris Rinsing: At the close of each service shift, spray down the empty peg rack with a pre-rinse spray arm to clear food scraps, lemon seeds, and toothpicks that may lodge between the bottom lattice ribs.

2. Periodic Degreasing & Descaling: In areas with hard municipal water, white limescale deposits can build up on polypropylene pegs over time. Soak the rack periodically in a diluted commercial descaling bath or run it through an empty dishwasher cycle using a commercial descaling agent.

3. Safe Stacking & Storage: The K909 is stackable with other standard 500x500mm commercial warewashing racks. Store clean, empty racks off the floor on wire shelving or dedicated dish rack dollies to prevent floor contamination.

4. Scrapping Tableware First: Scrape bulk food waste into organic bins before loading plates into the rack. Pre-rinsing heavily soiled dishes prevents grease buildup on the rack pegs and extends the wash water life in your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rack fit my commercial dishwasher?

Yes. The Vogue K909 uses the universal 500 mm × 500 mm footprint standard across Australia. It fits all major commercial front-loading underbench washers and pass-through hood machines from brands such as Fagor, Smeg, Hobart, Asber, Sammic and Eurowash.

What size plates can this peg rack hold?

The 80 mm tall pegs and 45 mm spacing gap are designed to hold standard saucers, bread plates, entree plates, and main dinner plates up to 320 mm in diameter, as well as shallow serving platters and Gastronorm pan lids.

Can this rack handle commercial sanitising temperatures?

Yes. Moulded from commercial-grade polypropylene, the rack is engineered to withstand standard Australian commercial wash cycles (60°C) and hot water thermal sanitisation rinse cycles (82°C to 85°C) without softening, warping, or cracking.

Does the open design improve drying?

Yes. The open-grid lattice bottom allows rinse water to drain freely off the tilted tableware instead of pooling in the base. Combined with the high residual heat of commercial 85°C final rinses, dishes dry quickly through evaporation without requiring towel drying.
