The term "Continuous Motion Pot Washing" was coined in 1987 by the Cantrell family who designed the "Power Soak" pot washing system in Kansas City, Missouri.
Since 1987 many competitors have entered the category as manufacturers of similar continuous motion pot washing systems.
Among these competitors include the AquaScrubber by Insinger the TurboWash by Hobart and the X-Stream Wash by Steelkor.
A continuous motion system uses the natural properties of highly turbulent water, heat, and low foam detergent to clean kitchenware products.
Powered by one or more motorized pumps, continuous motion pot washing systems re-circulate water through a series of jets and intakes to create a whirlpool-like motion that agitates the water within the wash tank to continuously move the waste products.
