Product Overview

Here’s a brilliantly simple solution to a problem every busy bar, pub, and  restaurant faces: washing, storing, and  moving glassware without the constant worry of chips and  breakages. The Cambro Camrack 36 compartment glass rack is a purpose-built workhorse designed to protect your glasses and  streamline your entire warewashing process. Made from incredibly tough polypropylene, it’s built to handle the heat and  hustle of a commercial kitchen day in, day out.

This isn't just for washing. It's a complete system for any business that handles a high volume of glasses. From the moment they leave the table to the second they’re needed for the next customer, your glasses are kept safe and  secure in their own individual compartments. This commercial glass dishwasher rack is perfectly sized for most standard UK dishwashers and  is ideal for everything from pint glasses and  tumblers to certain types of stemware.

With features like an open design for superior cleaning, easy-grip handles for safe transport, and  a stackable frame for space-saving storage, it’s a piece of kit that pays for itself in no time. Stop letting chipped rims and  breakages eat into your profits and  give your glassware the protection it deserves.

Expert Review and  Insights

In any pub, your glassware is one of your biggest assets and  biggest headaches. The Cambro Camrack is one of those unglamorous but essential bits of kit that just works. It’s tough as old boots, stacks beautifully, and  the open design means glasses actually come out clean first time. It’s a simple, effective tool that cuts down on breakages and  saves staff time.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Practical Design: The handles are comfortable and  the rack slides smoothly into the dishwasher.
  • Glass Specific: Best for tumblers; very wide-bowled gin glasses might not fit the compartments.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Anchor & Hope', a popular riverside pub in Norwich, were constantly dealing with chipped glasses from their old, flimsy dishwasher racks, especially during the hectic summer tourist season. They upgraded to a system of Cambro Camracks to better protect their stock.

"It's made such a difference to our wash-up area. Everything is more organised, the staff aren't struggling with awkward loads, and  we're not wincing every time we hear a clink from the kitchen. It’s just calmer and  more efficient."

Robert Evans – Landlord

The pub saw a measurable drop in glassware replacement costs by over 25% within the first two months of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the rack a quick rinse or run it through an empty dishwasher cycle.
  • Check that your most commonly used glasses fit comfortably within the 73mm diameter compartments.
  • Confirm the rack's 500x500mm footprint slides easily onto your dishwasher's runners.
  • When stacking multiple racks, ensure they click together securely for stable storage and  transport.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain hygiene, regularly clean the rack itself by running it through a hot wash cycle.
  • Periodically inspect the rack for any signs of stress cracks or damage, especially around the handles.
  • Avoid dropping the rack, particularly when it is fully loaded with heavy glassware.
  • Store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to prolong its life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glass Rack

Not sure what fits best? Choosing the right commercial glass dishwasher rack is key to an efficient kitchen. Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

The most important step! Check the maximum diameter and  height of your glassware. This Cambro FD079 glass rack is for glasses up to 73mm wide and  196mm tall.

Think About Volume

How many glasses do you wash in a peak-hour cycle? A 36 compartment glassware rack is fantastic for high-turnover venues, but if you only wash a few at a time, a half-size rack might work.

Prioritise Stacking

If storage space is at a premium (and where isn't it?), a rack system that is designed to stack securely is non-negotiable. It transforms dead air space into useful storage.

Open vs. Closed Walls

Open walls, like on this model, are superior for washing and  quick drying. Fully closed racks offer slightly more protection from dust during long-term storage but can impede cleaning.

Consider Colour Coding

Many brands, including Cambro, offer racks in different colours. This allows you to create a simple system, e.g., beige for pint glasses, blue for wine glasses, to speed up service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this rack a standard size for UK commercial dishwashers?

A: Yes, its 500mm x 500mm footprint is the industry standard and  fits the vast majority of commercial under-counter and  pass-through dishwashers in the UK.

Q: Can I wash delicate wine or cocktail glasses in it?

A: As long as they are within the maximum height (196mm) and  diameter (73mm) limits, the individual compartments offer excellent protection against knocking and  chipping.

Q: What is the rack made of? Will it break easily?

A: It's crafted from extremely durable, chemical-resistant polypropylene. It’s designed specifically to withstand the rigours of a busy commercial environment and  won't easily crack or warp.

Q: Can I stack this with racks from a different brand?

A: It's designed for a perfect, secure fit when stacked with other Cambro Camracks. While it might sit on top of other brands, we can't guarantee a stable, interlocking fit.

Q: How do you recommend cleaning the rack itself?

A: The easiest way is to simply run it through a hot cycle in your dishwasher. This will sanitise it and  remove any build-up.

Q: Will the colour fade after many hot washes?

A: No, the colour is integrated into the polypropylene material and  is designed to remain stable even with constant exposure to high temperatures and  detergents.

Q: Is it heavy to carry when full of wet glasses?

A: The rack itself is 4.5kg. A full load will be heavy, but the rounded, easy-grip handles are designed to make lifting and  carrying as safe and  comfortable as possible.

Q: Can this rack be used just for storage and  transport?

A: Absolutely. It's an excellent solution for safely storing glasses on shelves or transporting them to off-site events, not just for washing.

Why the Open Design Guarantees a Better Wash

You might see 'open-compartment design' and  think it’s just a box with holes, but it's a bit more clever than that. This design ensures that nothing obstructs the powerful water jets inside your commercial dishwasher. Water and  detergent can spray directly onto the glassware from every conceivable angle, getting inside deep tumblers and  blasting away residue without being blocked by a solid wall.

Think of it like this: trying to clean a car by spraying it through a picket fence versus having a clear, open space. The fence (a closed-wall rack) will always leave patches untouched. The open design of the Cambro Camrack ensures total coverage, resulting in a more hygienic, sparkling clean every single time, reducing the need for time-consuming re-washes or manual polishing.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Pubs & Bars: Protect your pint glasses and  tumblers during the wash cycle, keeping them ready for the next rush.
  • High-Volume Restaurants: Streamline your entire glass washing process, from table clearing to secure storage, with minimal fuss.
  • Event & Wedding Caterers: Transport hundreds of glasses to and  from venues securely, dramatically reducing costly breakages on the move.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Efficiently manage the high turnover of glassware required for breakfast service, hotel bars, and  large functions.
