Cambro PR314 9×9 Soft Gray Polypropylene Peg Rack for Dishwashers

Description

Product Overview

The Cambro PR314 9×9 peg rack is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of commercial food‑service operations. Constructed from high‑grade soft gray polypropylene, the rack delivers a balance of strength and flexibility that resists cracking, warping, and chemical degradation. Its dimensions—19.5 x 19.6 x 3.8 inches—provide a compact footprint while offering ample surface area for standard dinner plates, soup bowls, and specialty trays. The rack’s smooth top rim is deliberately designed to facilitate rapid, stable stacking, reducing the time staff spend aligning and securing loads. Each peg is spaced to accommodate a full 9‑by‑9 grid, ensuring uniform distribution of weight and minimizing the risk of plates slipping during transport. The material tolerates temperatures up to 200°F, making it suitable for both hot‑water dishwashing cycles and high‑temperature holding cabinets. With a weight of just over 4 pounds, the rack is light enough for easy handling yet robust enough to withstand the repetitive motions of busy kitchen environments.

Usage

In a commercial kitchen, the PR314 rack finds its place in a variety of workflows. It is ideal for loading into high‑capacity conveyor dishwashers, where its heat‑resistant polymer ensures that the rack does not deform under the intense steam and water pressure of the wash cycle. The rack also performs well in manual rack‑wash stations, where staff can quickly load and unload plates without worrying about breakage. Because the polypropylene material is non‑porous, it does not absorb food residues or cleaning chemicals, which helps maintain hygiene standards and reduces cross‑contamination risks. The rack’s 9‑by‑9 peg layout is compatible with standard plate sizes found in most American‑style dining establishments, from casual cafés to fine‑dining venues. Its inter‑stacking capability allows multiple racks to be nested securely, maximizing storage space in both prep areas and dishwashing rooms. The smooth rim also makes it easy to slide the rack onto shelving units or transport carts, facilitating seamless movement between kitchen stations.

FAQ

Can the PR314 rack be used in a dishwasher with a high‑temperature sanitizing cycle?

Yes. The rack’s polypropylene material is rated for temperatures up to 200F, which covers most high‑temperature sanitizing cycles used in commercial dishwashers. It will retain its shape and structural integrity even after repeated exposure to hot water and steam.

Is the rack compatible with all standard plate sizes?

The 9 × 9 peg configuration is designed to accommodate the most common dinner plate dimensions found in the United States, typically ranging from 10 to 12 inches in diameter. For larger specialty plates, the rack can still hold them, though the fit may be less snug.

How does the rack handle chemical cleaning agents?

Polypropylene is non‑reactive to the majority of commercial cleaning agents, including alkaline and acidic detergents. This resistance prevents corrosion, staining, or degradation of the rack surface, ensuring a long service life.

Can multiple PR314 racks be stacked together?

Yes. The design includes inter‑locking features that allow racks to be safely nested or stacked, maximizing storage efficiency in both prep areas and dishwashing rooms. The smooth rims align perfectly, preventing shifting during transport.

What warranty does Cambro provide for this rack?

Cambro offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, improper cleaning, or excessive loading beyond the rack’s rated capacity.
