Product Overview

Here we have the Cambro Camrack, a proper workhorse for any busy establishment. This isn't just any old plastic tray; it's a purpose-built system designed to protect your valuable glassware from the moment it leaves the table to when it's sparkling clean and  ready for the next customer. It’s a simple, effective solution to a costly problem: breakages.

Specifically created for pubs, bustling restaurants, hotels, and  event caterers, this Cambro 16 compartment glass rack is the perfect home for your tumblers, rocks glasses, and  any other glassware up to 133mm tall. The individual compartments stop your glasses from clattering against each other in the dishwasher, while the sturdy construction means you can wash, stack, and  store with complete confidence.

With its industry-standard size, it slots straight into any commercial dishwasher, and  the easy-grip handles make it a doddle to carry, even when fully loaded. It’s a small investment that pays for itself by drastically cutting down on chipped rims and  shattered glasses, keeping your service smooth and  your replacement costs low.

Expert Review and  Insights

In any busy pub, the speed of your glasswash is critical, but so is protecting your stock. The Cambro Camrack hits that sweet spot perfectly. It’s incredibly robust – you can tell it’s built for a hard life – and  the way it separates each glass makes a genuine difference to your breakage rates. It’s one of those bits of kit you buy once and  forget about, because it just works.

  • Built to Last: The polypropylene construction feels almost indestructible in daily use.
  • Colour Shows Scuffs: The beige colour is practical but can show darker scuffs over time.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ship Inn, a popular harbourside pub in Porthleven, was struggling with constant glassware breakages, especially during the hectic summer tourist season. Their old, flimsy racks offered little protection in their high-capacity dishwasher, leading to chipped and  cracked glasses on an almost daily basis.

"We were practically throwing money in the bin with the number of glasses we were losing each week. The Cambro racks have been brilliant. They're tough, easy for the team to handle, and  our glasses come out perfect every time. A simple change that made a huge difference."

Robert Davies – Pub Landlord

The switch to the Cambro Camracks led to a measured reduction in their glassware replacement costs by over 75% within the first three months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Arrives ready to use, with no assembly required.
  • Before loading, do a quick check that your tallest glass fits below the 133mm height limit.
  • Slide it into your dishwasher to ensure it fits the runners correctly – the 500x500mm size is standard, so it should be a perfect fit.
  • Give the rack a quick rinse or run it through an empty cycle before its first use.

Keeping It Going

  • After a wash cycle, check for and  remove any debris like lemon pips or cocktail stirrers.
  • For a deep clean, simply run the empty rack through a hot wash cycle.
  • Always stack them securely on a level surface to prevent toppling.
  • The material is incredibly tough, but give it a quick visual check for any damage every now and  then.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glass Rack

Not sure what fits best? Finding the right rack is key to protecting your glassware. Here are a few pointers to help you choose wisely.

Measure Your Tallest Glass

First things first, check the height of your glasses. This rack is designed for items up to 133mm, making it perfect for tumblers and  rocks glasses, but too short for most wine or flute glasses.

Count Your Compartments

A 16-compartment rack like this offers brilliant, secure protection for standard-sized glasses. If you're washing smaller shot glasses, you might look for a rack with more, smaller sections.

Check the Glass Diameter

As well as height, make sure the widest part of your glass will fit comfortably inside the compartment. A snug fit prevents rattling and  potential chipping during the wash cycle.

Consider Your Storage Space

If you're tight on space (and who isn't?), a stackable design is non-negotiable. These Cambro Camracks interlock securely, allowing you to build stable stacks and  save valuable floor space.

Material Really Matters

Don't be tempted by cheaper, flimsy plastics. Professional-grade polypropylene is the industry standard because it withstands heat, chemicals, and  daily knocks without breaking a sweat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, its 500x500mm size is the industry standard and  is designed to fit the vast majority of commercial pass-through and  under-counter dishwashers.

Q: What type of glasses is the Cambro DW551 glass rack best for?

A: It's ideal for tumblers, rocks glasses, juice glasses, and  any other stemless glassware with a maximum height of 133mm.

Q: Can I safely stack these racks when they are full of glasses?

A: Absolutely. Cambro Camracks are engineered for stable stacking, whether they are empty or fully loaded with clean glassware, helping you maximise storage.

Q: How should I clean the rack itself?

A: The easiest way is to simply run it through a standard wash cycle on its own. The durable polypropylene can handle the heat and  detergents with no problem.

Q: Is it really safe for high-temperature sanitising cycles?

A: Yes, it is rated to withstand temperatures up to 93°C, making it perfectly safe for high-temperature washes required for sanitisation.

Q: Will the beige colour stain easily?

A: The material is non-porous and  highly resistant to staining. For best results, it's always good practice to quickly rinse glasses before racking them.

Q: What's the main benefit of having a rack with 16 sections?

A: The individual compartments prevent glasses from touching and  clinking together during washing and  transport, which is the leading cause of chips and  breakages.

Q: Is the rack heavy to lift when full?

A: While a full load of wet glasses has some heft, the ergonomic, rounded handles on all four sides are designed to provide a secure and  comfortable grip for easy handling.

Why Polypropylene Construction is a Cut Above

You might see 'polypropylene' and  just think 'plastic', but in the world of commercial kitchens, it's a specific choice for a very good reason. Think of it like the difference between a standard car tyre and  an all-terrain one. While a normal plastic might crack under the stress of high heat, warp from harsh detergents, or shatter from a single drop, polypropylene is engineered to handle it all.

It's incredibly resistant to the chemicals found in commercial detergents and  rinse aids, and  it won't go brittle after countless cycles in a 93°C dishwasher. This Cambro Camrack is designed to be knocked about, stacked high, and  put through its paces every single day without failing. That's the difference – it's not just a holder, it’s a long-term piece of professional equipment.
