The CMA Energy Mizer door-type low-temperature chemical sanitizing dishwasher, straight-through design, delivers 40 racks/160 covers per hour with 20-1/2" door clearance. Uses only 1.09 gallons per cycle — significantly reducing water and energy costs compared to high-temp alternatives. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing eliminates the booster heater requirement — reducing installation complexity, energy consumption, and infrastructure costs compared to high-temperature machines.
The Poly Pro scrap accumulator captures food soil before it enters the drain system, keeping wash water cleaner and reducing cleaning frequency. Auto start/stop operation. Built-in chemical pumps and deliming system ensure correct, consistent chemical usage and simplify maintenance. Built-in air gap fill system. Power drain eliminates noisy solenoid and external sump hardware. Stainless steel construction throughout. 1 HP wash pump. ENERGY STAR, UL, cULus, ETL.
The CMA Energy Mizer door-type low-temperature chemical sanitizing dishwasher, straight-through design, delivers 40 racks/160 covers per hour with a 20-1/2" door clearance — the largest door opening in its class, accommodating oversized commercial plates, tall glasses, and serving trays that smaller-opening machines cannot handle without extra handling steps. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing is the fundamental design choice that affects the machine's installation requirements, operating costs, and suitability for specific operations. The straight-through design places the load and unload openings on opposite sides, supporting the linear dish flow that keeps soiled and clean paths separated in high-efficiency dishwashing operations.
Low-temperature machines sanitize using chemical sanitizer in the final rinse rather than heat — which means no booster heater is required. This eliminates the electrical capacity requirement (typically 15–25 amps at 240V) that a booster heater adds to the installation, reducing the electrical infrastructure investment when the machine is being installed in a location without existing high-amperage service. Chemical sanitizer cost replaces the energy cost of water heating for the sanitizing rinse, and the total operating cost comparison between low-temp and high-temp machines depends on local electricity rates and chemical pricing.
The EST model adds built-in chemical pumps and a deliming system to the standard E model's feature set. Built-in chemical pumps provide consistent, automatic detergent and rinse aid dosing — eliminating the manual measuring and pouring that introduces dosing variability and the chemical overuse that leads to residue and increased operating cost. The built-in deliming system enables periodic acid descaling of internal components without the service call that machines without this feature require. A power drain replaces the standard external sump and solenoid with a faster, quieter pumped drain that requires no additional floor space or external plumbing components. The air gap fill system and integrated stainless steel scrap tray complete the EST feature package.
At 1.09 gallons per cycle, the EST model's water consumption is substantially lower than industry-standard door-type machine usage — a meaningful operating cost reduction over the life of the equipment, particularly in operations running multiple shifts daily.
The Poly Pro scrap accumulator filters wash water and captures plate debris in an external tray, preventing food soil from accumulating in the wash tank and maintaining wash quality throughout service. Auto start/stop makes operation straightforward for any staff member. Stainless steel construction throughout — cabinet, wash arms, and tank — provides the corrosion resistance needed for continuous chemical and hot water exposure. 1 HP wash pump. ENERGY STAR, UL, cULus, ETL.
Available in straight-through and corner configurations to match the dishwashing line layout of each specific installation. The machine ships with 2 dishracks and all necessary installation hardware. Service and parts support available through the CMA distributor network.
