A liquid distributor for a liquid-transfer system of a conveyor dishwasher has first, second and third connections. The liquid sprayed in at least one final-rinse zone of the conveyor dishwasher can be fed to the liquid distributor via the first connection, wherein some of the liquid fed to the liquid distributor can be discharged, via the second connection, to a line system which can be connected to the second connection, and wherein the rest of the liquid fed to the liquid distributor can be discharged, via the third connection, to at least one line system which can be connected to the third connection. The liquid distributor has an interchangeable aperture component, which defines the fraction of liquid which is fed to the liquid distributor via its first connection and is to be discharged, via the second connection, to the line system which can be connected to the second connection.

The present invention relates to a conveyor dishwasher&#x2014;with at least one final rinse zone with at least one final rinse nozzle for spraying final rinse liquid onto washware, and wherein a metering device associated with the final rinse zone is provided for adding a disinfectant to the final rinse liquid in a metered manner. A sensor device is configured to detect the concentration of disinfectant in the final rinse liquid which is sprayed in the final rinse zone. Furthermore, a control device is configured to compare the value of the concentration of disinfectant which is detected by the sensor device with predefinable concentration values and, in the event of excessively high deviations of the concentration of disinfectant from the predefinable concentration values, to interrupt the dishwashing process or to output a warning signal to an operator.

The invention relates to a conveying apparatus ('&#x2033;) for feeding washware () to at least one conveyor belt () of a commercial conveyor warewasher (), with a conveying system () for conveying the washware (), in particular for feeding trays or tray-like washware (), of cutlery and/or of other washware (). The invention is characterized by an unloading station (&#x2032;&#x2033;) for automatically unloading the washware () from the conveying apparatus (&#x2032;&#x2033;) transversely to the conveying direction of the conveying system (), in which the trays (), with or without cutlery () lying on them, can be oriented on edge and parallel to the transport direction of the conveying system (), so as to be capable of being placed onto a conveyor belt () of the conveyor warewasher. The invention relates, furthermore, to a flight-type warewasher () and to a combination of this warewasher () and of the conveying apparatus (&#x2032;&#x2033;). The invention relates, moreover, to a method for loading a flight-type warewasher (), by means of a conveying apparatus (&#x2032;&#x2033;) and to a preferred use of same for loading a warewasher with trays or tray-like washware ().
