Automation
Automation in the dishwashing area: technology that thinks ahead
Whatever can be automated should no longer cost you and your team any time. We plan and install the right technology – from the dosing unit to the dishwashing line.
- Dosing technologyDetergent and rinse aid flow automatically from the canister into the machine.
- Water treatmentSoftening or reverse osmosis protects machine and boiler from limescale and makes glasses shine.
- Rack conveyor dishwashingWith high volumes, the machine moves the racks itself – your team only loads and unloads.
- Self-cleaning appliancesModern combi steamers and dishwashers clean themselves at the push of a button, for example overnight.

Who is Gastrofriends?
Gastrofriends GmbH is a full-service outfitter for commercial kitchens and dishwashing technology based in Plainfeld near Salzburg, Austria. We plan, supply and install commercial kitchens and commercial dishwashers, take care of maintenance and repair, and supply cleaning agents with automatic dosing – for hotels, restaurants and contract catering.
What does a full-service kitchen outfitter do?
A full-service outfitter handles all of the kitchen technology from one source: planning, delivery and installation of the equipment – from cooking and refrigeration to dishwashing and stainless steel furniture – followed by maintenance, repair and spare parts. You have one contact instead of many suppliers.
Which appliances do you maintain and repair?
Dishwashers and dishwashing systems, cooking and refrigeration equipment and other catering appliances and machines. Give us a call – we will quickly tell you how we can help.
What are the benefits of automatic dosing for a commercial dishwasher?
A dosing unit pumps detergent and rinse aid straight from the canister into the machine – in the set amount for every wash cycle. Nothing is over- or under-dosed: dishes come out consistently clean, consumption drops, and your team only has to swap the empty canister.
Why do glasses come out of the dishwasher with spots?
The cause is usually limescale and dissolved salts in the water, often combined with too little or unsuitable rinse aid. The remedy is correctly adjusted rinse aid and water treatment: softening protects against limescale, and reverse osmosis also provides low-salt water. Glasses then dry without spots and don’t need polishing.
Which cleaning agents does a commercial dishwasher need?
Basically a machine detergent for cleaning and a rinse aid for fast, spot-free drying, plus a descaler at regular intervals. Which products are right depends on the machine, water hardness, dishes and soiling. Household products are not suitable for commercial dishwashers. We supply everything from 0.75-litre spray bottles to 20-litre canisters.
How often should a commercial dishwasher be serviced?
Manufacturers generally recommend at least one service a year, more often with heavy use. In addition, your team should clean the filters and wash arms daily. With a fixed maintenance schedule we spot wear early – before the machine fails during busy service.
What is a rack conveyor dishwasher?
In a rack conveyor dishwasher, the machine moves the dish racks through the wash zones by itself. Your team only loads the racks and takes them out clean. This pays off with high dish volumes, for example in hotels, canteens and commercial kitchens.
Do you deliver cleaning agents regularly?
Yes. On request, we deliver your cleaning agents on a fixed schedule so you never run out. You don’t have to remember to reorder.
Which region does Gastrofriends serve?
We are based in Plainfeld in the district of Salzburg-Umgebung, Austria. We serve businesses in Salzburg and the surrounding area.
