A METHOD OF WASHING DISHES AND PREPARING EQUIPMENT FOR USE IN THE ARRANGEMENT AND SERVING OF FLIGHT MEALS

摘要

Equipment arriving from an aircraft in transport carts is sorted in an air catering kitchen by transport carts with trays and tray equipment being sorted on one side of a conveyor belt whereas transport carts containing drawers and serving equipment are sorted at the opposite side of the conveyor belt, following which the equipment is taken to an industrial dishwasher. Trays and tray equipment are sorted by discharging the contents of the tray onto a conveyor belt following which the individual tray items are arranged in baskets. Transport carts containing drawers with serving equipment are sorted at the opposite side of the conveyor belt, the drawers being arranged on rollers mounted in the side walls of a box. Following washing of the equipment in the dishwasher, the serving equipment arrives at an area with cleaned transport carts where the equipment is again arranged in the transport carts following packaging in drawers.
