Abstract

A rinsing and/or sanitizing system for a washing machine, such as a pot and pan washing machine, is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes two sections of conduit with fluid-dispensing openings or nozzles and a third section of conduit connecting the other two sections. The nozzles spray fluid into the space between the conduits, creating a curtain of fluid, in a common plane. In a preferred embodiment, the fluid sprayed is water to rinse items. In another preferred embodiment, the fluid sprayed is a sanitizing agent to sanitize items. In still another embodiment, the system sprays both water and a sanitizing agent. Another aspect of the invention is a method of rinsing and/or sanitizing an item by moving the item through the curtain of fluid of the rinse system.
