  • Top-Tier Protection: Its sturdy, closed-wall design offers brilliant protection against accidental knocks.
  • Height Specific: Excellent for tall glasses, but less space-efficient for shorter tumblers or rocks glasses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Harrogate was struggling with unacceptable levels of glassware breakage, particularly their high-end crystal wine glasses, during their busy wedding season. They switched their mismatched collection of old racks to the Cambro DW557 commercial dishwasher glass rack to standardise their process.

"The difference was instant. The team can load, wash, and  store the glasses with confidence. We're not constantly hearing the dreaded sound of a smashed glass anymore, and  our stock levels have finally stabilised. It's such a simple change, but the impact on our bottom line and  stress levels has been huge."

Robert Davies – Operations Manager

The hotel reported an 80% reduction in glassware replacement costs within the first three months of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the rack a quick inspection to ensure it's perfect.
  • Run it through an empty wash cycle to ensure it's completely clean and  ready for your glassware.
  • Check that the 500x500mm rack slides smoothly onto the runners of your commercial dishwasher.
  • To maximise cleaning, place glasses upside down, ensuring they don't touch.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse the rack regularly to prevent food particles and  debris from building up in the base.
  • If you're in a hard water area, run the rack through a descaling cycle periodically to prevent limescale deposits.
  • Before loading, give it a quick visual check for any cracks or damage to ensure continued protection.
  • When stacking, ensure the racks lock together securely to create a stable unit and  prevent toppling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glass Rack

Not sure what to look for? Picking the right dishwasher rack is simpler than you think. Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit for your business.

Measure Your Glassware

Before you buy, measure the height and  widest diameter of your most-used glasses. This ensures they'll fit comfortably inside the compartments without being too snug or loose.

Check Your Machine

This rack is a standard 500x500mm, which fits the vast majority of commercial passthrough and  undercounter dishwashers. It's always worth a quick check of your machine's specifications.

Count Your Compartments

A glass washer rack 25 slots is fantastic for standard wine glasses and  goblets. If you're washing chunkier tumblers or pint glasses, you might need a rack with fewer, larger compartments.

Think About Storage

If space is tight, stackability is a non-negotiable feature. Racks like this Cambro Camrack interlock, allowing you to stack them high safely and  efficiently, saving valuable shelf and  floor space.

Consider Colour Coding

Many brands, including Cambro, offer racks or extenders in different colours. This is a brilliant way to create a system, e.g., beige for wine glasses, blue for tumblers, to speed up service.

Why Durable Polypropylene Makes All the Difference

You might see 'polypropylene' and  just think 'plastic', but in a commercial kitchen, the type of plastic is crucial. The Cambro Camrack isn't made from the same stuff as a household storage tub; it's engineered for battle. This specific material is chosen for its incredible resistance to the harsh chemicals found in commercial detergents and  rinse aids, meaning it won't degrade or become brittle over time.

More importantly, it can handle continuous cycles in dishwashers at temperatures up to 93°C without warping or losing its shape. Think of it like a firefighter's helmet versus a bicycle helmet. Both offer protection, but one is designed to withstand extreme, intense conditions day in, day out. This rack is the firefighter's helmet for your glassware, ensuring it provides the same rigid, reliable protection on its thousandth wash as it did on its first.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & Event Venues: Protect large inventories of expensive wine glasses and  flutes during high-volume banquets and  events.
  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Ensure your premium stemware is flawlessly clean and  damage-free, ready for a perfect table setting.
  • Busy Pubs & Wine Bars: Streamline the washing of popular gin goblets and  large wine glasses, reducing staff handling errors.
  • Catering & Hire Companies: A must-have for safely transporting and  storing glassware between jobs, minimising costly breakages in transit.
