Up to 15,000 cups per hour
The professional solution for catering and food service at festivals: get your reusable cups clean and ready to use again quickly or dry and ready to store hygienically.
The M-iQ Cup is another milestone for MEIKO: it comes with all of the benefits of the pioneering M-iQ generation of machines, plus special features for washing and drying reusable plastic washware like cups, bowls and others. It delivers the highest level of clean, incredible efficiency and the perfect balance of resources needed but no more.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
Opting for reusable dishware directly helps our planet. As a sustainable company, it was back in 2008 that MEIKO launched to market its first flight type dishwashing machines for reusable plastic dishware like cups and bowls. The latest M-iQ Cup flight type dishwashing machines are exceptionally quick and economical, and they deliver hygienic and perfectly dry results. The patented conveyor protects the plastic dishware, extending its useful lifespan.

M-iQ Cup tank management
Taking hygiene to a whole new level
As you would expect, our innovative M-iQ filter is hard at work in every single tank. Together, the filter and tank make an outstanding team. But the really clever part is how the filter system works in the opposite direction to the movement of the dishes. Any residual dirt is collected and concentrated well away from the clean washware in the hygienic area, so the clean side stays genuinely clean at all times. We also keep an eye on the water level within the tanks. The M-iQ filter monitors the process and channels the water into the next tank – or into whichever tank currently needs water.
Each wash tank is provided with a M-iQ filter.
M-iQ self-cleaning feature
- Optimised rotation design
- Includes M-iQ filter technology
- Less manual cleaning required
The smart self-cleaning programme on the M-iQ works alongside the blue operating concept to reduce the staff hours required for cleaning, increasing your operational efficiency.
M-iClean – Blue efficiency with intuitive operating concept
Each wash tank is provided with a M-iQ filter.
At the end of the washing operation the M-iQ cleans itself using the existing tank water. Only the parts which are blue have to be manually cleaned.
M-iQ tank management
- Smart level control
- Efficient use of resources
- Excellent economy
It’s a smart solution: the machine has one working direction and the filter removes dirt in the opposite direction, so the tank on the clean side is always the cleanest.
The drying system is specially optimised for cups and uses several drying modules, like the vibration drying zone. All are perfectly tailored to work together and deliver up to 15,000 cups/hour, all ready for stacking when they exit the machine.
A final rinse specially optimised for plastic cups.
Cooling the washware in the climate zone prevents the moisture in the air from condensing on the inside of the plastic cups as they cool off. In practically all cases, using the climate zone means the cups are immediately ready for storage. They can be stacked and packed away the moment they exit the washing and drying process. The climate zone can be supplied by a standard split air conditioner.

Key to washing plastic items: this section prepares the washware for the rest of the process in a fresh water pre-wash that is regulated by a thermostat. This enables any fungal spores, mould or bacteria (e.g. Bacillus subtilis) to be effectively washed off later in the process.
The vibration drying zone is part of the M-iQ Cup’s unique drying system. The conveyor vibrates, shaking off water droplets on or in the cups in a highly effective process.
The cups dry off further in this open area.
The specific design of the finger belt and how it works means that there is practically no contact surface between washware and belt. The rim remains completely free and the cup interior is close to it. That allows the cups to move around freely, which assists both the washing and drying processes, producing even better results.
MEIKO ACTIVE detergents provide optimum cleaning results, even with difficult-to-handle dirt. And MEIKO ACTIVE rinse aids are specially developed for use with plastic dishware and cutlery to give you exceptional drying results.
