Explore the Meiko H500 AirBox: Advanced Commercial Dishwashing Solution
The Meiko H500 AirBox is a premium industrial hood-type dishwasher designed to eliminate the need for costly commercial exhaust hoods. Thanks to its AirBox AktivAir vapour management system, this model captures and condenses steam before it enters your kitchen environment — reducing ambient heat, improving air quality, and enhancing staff comfort while saving thousands on extraction infrastructure.
Designed and manufactured in Germany, the H500 AirBox features a robust double-walled stainless steel body, a deep-drawn 22L tank, and a rear-venting hood that keeps heat and vapour contained. Its Eco-filter system and multiple cycle times ensure hygienic, energy-efficient operation — all managed through simple digital temperature displays and intuitive controls.
