Description

The LVO FL14F is a heavy-duty commercial front-load washer engineered for washing sheet pans, pots, mixing bowls, buckets, utensils, bakery tools, food-preparation equipment, and other compatible commercial kitchen items.

It uses a powerful 10-horsepower recirculating pump and two rotating stainless steel spray arms to deliver a high-pressure wash throughout the chamber.

The FL14 platform is designed to accommodate up to 14 standard sheet pans per load and is rated by LVO for production of up to approximately 140 pans per hour, depending on the selected wash cycle, loading arrangement, soil level, and operating conditions.

The fully automatic operating sequence includes filling, washing, a rest period, sanitizing rinse, and optional steam-exhaust operation. Three selectable wash durations allow the operator to choose an appropriate cycle for lightly, moderately, or heavily soiled items.

This electric-heated version uses one 9kW heating element in the wash tank and a separate 9kW booster-heating element in the rinse tank. The booster raises properly supplied hot water to the sanitizing-rinse temperature.

The front-loading design offers access to a large wash chamber while limiting the floor space required compared with larger walk-in or rack-style washing systems.

LVO identifies the FL14 as its most popular front-load model and confirms its 14-pan capacity, 10HP pump, 40-gallon wash tank, 9kW rinse booster, three wash times, and heavy-gauge stainless steel construction. Official LVO FL14 product specifications: https://www.lvomfg.com/site/product/fl14/
