Ventless Rack Conveyor Dishwashers with Integrated Blower Drying
February 17, 2026
Champion has spent years focused on a persistent challenge in high-volume dishroom design: achieving drying performance without adding ventilation or expanding mechanical infrastructure. For many facilities, especially healthcare and institutional kitchens, ventilation and electrical capacity are fixed constraints. That reality has historically limited equipment choices and forced compromises in dishroom performance..
By integrating high-performance blower drying with ventless rack conveyor dishwashers and expanding steam-powered ventless configurations, the goal has been simple: give operators and designers the drying speed and reliability they expect from traditional systems without requiring additional ventilation or major redesign.
These developments mark a shift in how ventless dishrooms can be specified. Rather than designing around limitations, consultants and operators now have options that enable high throughput and consistent ware drying. The result is a new generation of ventless rack conveyor systems built to perform in demanding environments, not just to fit within them.
Integrated Blower Drying with Ventless Heat Recovery
One of the most significant advancements is the integration of blower drying with ventless heat-recovery systems. This approach accelerates drying without requiring external ventilation.
What does this mean for operators and designers?
• Faster rack turnaround in high-volume operations
• Improved drying times
• Reduced need for towel drying
Steam Options for Facilities with Electrical Constraints
Another innovation is the availability of ventless rack systems that use steam tank heat and booster heat, paired with a steam blower dryer option.
This configuration is particularly useful in hospitals and institutional kitchens where steam infrastructure is already in place but electrical capacity is limited. The result is a ventless system that integrates with existing mechanical environments while maintaining high throughput.
The Bottom Line
Modern ventless rack conveyor dishwashers are redefining expectations. With improved drying performance and more flexible mechanical options, they are no longer just a workaround for difficult spaces. They are becoming a practical, high-performance solution for today’s high-volume dishrooms.
