Conveyor dishwasher M-IQ BLUEFIRE

for commercial kitchenfree-standingfor cutlery

Overview
The MEIKO M-iQ BlueFire is a flight-type dishwasher combining dish, tray and cutlery washing in a single automated system. It is designed to improve hygiene safety, throughput and operational efficiency by automating tray handling, cutlery processing and conveyor integration.

Two-in-one concept
The MEIKO M-iQ BlueFire integrates separate washware tracks for dishes, trays and cutlery into one compact footprint, reducing space, operating and staffing requirements. Trays are washed upright and cutlery is processed on a dedicated track to deliver dry, hygienic washware ready for immediate reuse.

Key features

• Two-in-one functionality: dishes, trays and cutlery processed within one machine.
• Automated tray handling: trays conveyed upright to ensure extended contact time with wash water (> 2 minutes), enabling hygienic cleaning at rates up to 25 trays/minute.
• Dedicated cutlery track: cutlery lifted by a powerful magnet then demagnetised to prevent sticking, optimising wash and drying results.
• Automated stacking and sorting: trays are stacked automatically at cycle end; cutlery is sorted and delivered clean and dry.
• Flexible conveyor technology: configurable conveyor systems adapt to multi-floor layouts, tight corners and long transfer distances.
• Optional return station with disposal chutes for immediate food-waste separation at the return point.

Hotspot highlights

• Smart hygiene at tray infeed: Trays are automatically fed upright with more than two minutes contact time in wash water to meet high-throughput hygiene requirements and applicable standards.
• Cutlery magnet and demagnetisation: Magnetic loading followed by demagnetisation prevents cutlery adhesion and improves cleaning and drying consistency.
• Tailored conveyor solutions: Conveyor layouts are planned to fit specific kitchen configurations, supporting multi-level installations and complex routing.

M-iQ family advantages
