  • Publication number: 20060213543
    Abstract: Conveyor-type dishwasher comprising a conveying apparatus having compartments which extend transverse to the conveying direction and serve to hold items to be washed. A rinse zone has at least one transversely directed lateral spray nozzle on at least one side each for spraying rinsing liquid onto the item to be washed. Furthermore, a sensor apparatus for items to be washed is provided for detecting empty compartments from among the large number of compartments of the conveying apparatus. A control apparatus is provided to automatically switch off the supply of rinsing liquid to at least some of the lateral spray nozzles of the rinse zone as a function of detected empty compartments, and to automatically switch on the supply of rinsing liquid to at least some of the lateral spray nozzles as a function of detected compartments which contain items to be washed.
