The cleaning principle of dishwasher capsules is mainly based on the various chemical components contained inside and the working mechanism of the dishwasher. Specifically, the cleaning principles can be summarized as follows:
1. The role of chemical components
Surfactants: The surfactants in dishwasher capsules have functions such as wetting, emulsifying, dispersing and foaming. They can penetrate and break down the grease and food residues on the surface of tableware, making it easy to be washed away by water.
Biological enzymes: Biological enzymes such as amylase and protease can break down stubborn stains like oil, starch and protein. These enzymes remain active at high temperatures, thus effectively removing stubborn stains from tableware.
Chelating agents: Chelating agents such as sodium citrate can decompose metal ions like calcium and magnesium in water, prevent the formation of scale, and help remove dirt from the surface of tableware.
Strong oxidants: Strong oxidants such as sodium percarbonate can break down dirt and have a certain bleaching effect, making tableware whiter.
2. Working mechanism of the dishwasher
High-temperature and high-pressure water flow: The dishwasher generates high-temperature and high-pressure water flow through its built-in water pump to mechanically scrub the surface of tableware in a 360-degree manner. This flushing effect can effectively remove dirt and food residues on the surface of tableware.
Spray arm: The spray arm inside the dishwasher is designed with multiple nozzles, which can evenly spray the washing liquid and water flow, ensuring that every corner of the tableware is thoroughly cleaned.
Cyclic washing: Dishwashers usually adopt a cyclic washing method, that is, multiple injects of washing liquid and water flow for flushing and rinsing to ensure that the dirt and detergent residues on the surface of the tableware are thoroughly removed.
3. The synergistic effect of dishwasher capsules and dishwashers
Automatic dispensing: Many modern dishwasher capsules are designed to be automatically dispensed. That is, when in use, simply place the capsules in the designated position of the dishwasher, and the dishwasher will automatically dispensed the washing liquid at the appropriate time.
Optimizing washing effect: The chemical components in the dishwasher capsules complement the working mechanism of the dishwasher and can optimize the washing effect. For instance, surfactants can reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier for water to seep into the tiny crevices on the surface of tableware. Biological enzymes can break down stubborn stains at high temperatures, improving the efficiency of washing.
