Dish machine/pot washer
First Claim
1. In a warewashing system having a wash zone, the zone defined in part by a wall, the zone having an upper manifold and a lower manifold, each of the manifolds having a spray nozzle(s), a common riser secured to the wall and a connector joined to the riser and in fluid flow communication with the nozzles to carry water to the nozzles, the improvement which comprises:
- a backplate secured to the wall, the backplate characterized by an opening which opening is in fluid flow communication with the riser and the nozzle(s), a valve secured to the connector, the valve comprising a guide plate characterized by a slot in registration with the opening, a slide plate received in the slot, the slide plate adapted for reciprocal movement within the slot whereby the fluid flow rate in the upper manifold can be varied.

Abstract
In a warewashing machine, a power wash zone is adapted to function either in a pot washing mode or in a warewashing mode. A valve controls the flow of water into an upper manifold. In the pot washing mode when the flow of water into the upper manifold is decreased, the flow into a lower manifold is correspondingly increased. This results in an increase flow rate and pressure striking a pot.
