Champion Moyer Diebel

Champion Moyer Diebel has functioned as a premier global authority in warewashing technology for over 130 years, operating as a dual-branded entity that bridges American industrial strength with Canadian precision engineering. The brand traces its roots back to 1890 in New Jersey as Thompson & Low, later becoming Champion Industries in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Its Canadian counterpart, Moyer Diebel, was founded in 1945 by two Royal Canadian Air Force pilots in Jordan Station, Ontario. Since 1980 and 1989 respectively, both brands have operated under the Ali Group umbrella, and by 2026, they serve as the foundational warewashing pillar within the expanded Welbilt portfolio following the Ali Group’s 2022 acquisition of that corporation.

The brand's technical identity is defined by its "Built Like a Battleship" engineering philosophy, which prioritizes mechanical longevity and heavy-duty stainless steel construction. A defining innovation of Champion Moyer Diebel is its ventless heat recovery technology with Dry Assist. This system captures the steam generated during the wash cycle and repurposes it to pre-heat the incoming cold water, significantly reducing energy consumption while simultaneously removing condensate from the air. This allows the machines to operate without a dedicated ventilation hood in many jurisdictions, offering massive savings in installation costs and providing operational flexibility in kitchens with restricted airflow.

Innovation within the Champion and Moyer Diebel portfolio is categorized by its focus on resource conservation and asset protection. Key technical features include:

• StemSure Technology: A specialized soft-start feature that gradually increases water pressure at the beginning of the cycle to prevent delicate glassware from shifting or chipping.
• Shear Energy: A proprietary wash arm and nozzle design that maximizes the mechanical force of the water spray, allowing for superior soil removal while utilizing as little as 0.76 gallons of water per rack.
• Rinse Sentry: An integrated thermal monitoring system that prevents the final rinse cycle from starting until the water has reached the mandatory 180°F (82°C) sanitization temperature, ensuring total HACCP compliance.
• Multi-Power: A flexible electrical platform that allows for rapid in-field conversion between single and three-phase power, as well as multiple voltage configurations, simplifying inventory management for large-scale distributors.

The strategic value of Champion Moyer Diebel lies in its "Dishwashing Machine Specialists" business model and its robust North American manufacturing footprint. By maintaining primary production facilities in both North Carolina and Ontario, the company ensures a highly responsive supply chain and localized technical support for the US and Canadian markets. Their product range is exhaustive, spanning from compact undercounter glasswashers to massive, 20-foot flight-type machines capable of processing thousands of dishes per hour in stadiums and hospitals. Supported by the Bi-Line conveyor systems—a sister brand that manages soiled ware logistics—Champion Moyer Diebel provides a complete, high-yield ecosystem for the most demanding sanitation environments in the world.
