Pan washers clean the baking pans using hot water or steam. Industrial pan washers are continuous machines that use high-pressure water or steam to spray the pans clean. The pan washer may be integrated with the baking ovens in one continuous process. Resembling commercial dishwashers, the pan washers use a great deal of energy. An enhancement on some models is the incorporation of sensors that shut down the washer when there are no pans on the conveyor.
