  • Top-Tier Protection: The individual compartments are brilliant for preventing chips on delicate glass rims.
  • Colour Shows Stains: The beige colour is classic but can show tea or coffee stains over time.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ferryman’s Inn, a popular riverside gastropub in Perth, Scotland, was struggling with high glassware turnover due to their old, open-style dishwasher racks. Frequent chipping of their signature wine glasses was becoming a significant, recurring cost.

"We were losing a dozen good glasses a week, it was infuriating. Since switching to these Cambro racks, our glassware is properly protected. The difference is night and  day; they just come out clean and  intact, every single time."

Ewan McGregor – General Manager, The Ferryman's Inn

After implementing the Cambro Camracks, the pub saw its glassware replacement costs fall by over 60% within the first three months, significantly improving their bottom line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, run the empty rack through a rinse cycle to remove any dust.
  • Ensure the rack slides smoothly on your dishwasher runners. The 500x500mm size is standard, so it should be a perfect fit.
  • Load glasses upside down, placing one in each compartment to ensure maximum protection and  cleaning.
  • Avoid overloading or forcing in glassware that is too wide for the compartments.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly rinse the rack to prevent a build-up of food debris or limescale.
  • If stained, soak the rack in a solution of commercial-grade non-abrasive cleaner.
  • Check for any cracks or damage, especially on the handles, before lifting when fully loaded.
  • Stack them neatly in a dry storage area when not in use to prolong their life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware Rack

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick checklist to help you find the perfect glasswasher rack for your business.

Measure Your Tallest Glass

Check the height of your tallest glasses (including the stem and  base) and  choose a rack with enough clearance. This model fits glass heights up to 257mm.

Count Your Compartments

Consider the width of your glasses. This 16-compartment rack is great for standard tumblers and  wine glasses. For wider glasses like pint pots or large gin bowls, you might need a rack with fewer, larger compartments.

Think About Stacking

If storage space is tight, look for racks with interlocking bases and  tops. This allows you to stack them securely without wobbling, preventing accidents.

Consider Colour Coding

While this rack is beige, many brands offer different colours. You could use different colours for different types of glasses (e.g., blue for tumblers, red for wine glasses) to speed up service.

Check the Handles

A fully loaded rack is heavy and  often wet. Look for moulded, easy-to-grip handles on all four sides, like this Cambro model has, for safe and  easy transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, this is an industry-standard 500mm x 500mm rack, designed to fit the vast majority of commercial pass-through and  under-counter dishwashers.

Q: What is the maximum diameter of glass it can hold?

A: With 16 compartments in a 500x500mm rack, each compartment is approximately 110mm x 110mm, comfortably fitting most standard pint, wine, and  highball glasses.

Q: Can I wash delicate, thin-stemmed wine glasses in this?

A: Absolutely. The individual compartments are specifically designed to protect delicate stemware by preventing any contact during the wash cycle.

Q: Can I stack these racks on top of each other?

A: Yes, these Camracks are designed with an interlocking system for safe and  stable stacking, both for storage and  transport.

Q: How do I clean the rack itself?

A: The polypropylene material is non-porous and  easy to clean. Simply run it through a wash cycle on its own or wash it manually with a standard commercial detergent.

Q: Is this rack resistant to strong cleaning chemicals?

A: Yes, it's made from chemical-resistant polypropylene and  can withstand all common commercial dishwasher detergents and  sanitisers.

Q: Is the beige colour likely to fade over time?

A: No, the colour is integral to the polypropylene material, so it won't chip or fade. It may stain with heavy exposure to things like coffee, but this won't affect its performance.
