Dishwashers & Glass Washers

Dishwashers & Glass Washers

Commercial dishwashers and glasswashers provide efficient cleaning for crockery, cutlery, utensils and glassware in professional kitchens, bars, restaurants, pubs, hotels, cafés, canteens and other foodservice environments. Dedicated commercial warewashing equipment can help reduce the time and labour involved in manual cleaning while providing the capacity needed to keep clean items moving back into service during busy periods.

Our range includes commercial dishwashers, glasswashers and specialist warewashing equipment in a variety of sizes and configurations. From compact undercounter machines through to passthrough and rack conveyor dishwashers for higher-volume operations, you can choose equipment according to the type of items being washed, the required capacity and the space available in your kitchen or bar.

Choosing a Commercial Dishwasher or Glasswasher

The right commercial dishwasher or glasswasher depends on what you need to clean, how much warewashing your business carries out and the space available for the machine. Dishwashers are designed primarily for crockery, cutlery and suitable kitchenware, while glasswashers are designed around the requirements of drinking glasses and other suitable barware.

Machine configuration is also an important consideration. Undercounter models provide a compact solution for kitchens and bars where space is limited, while passthrough machines provide a larger hood-type washing arrangement for higher-volume operations. Rack conveyor dishwashers are designed for businesses requiring continuous processing of large quantities of washing racks.

Commercial Dishwashers for Professional Kitchens

Commercial dishwashers provide a faster and more practical alternative to washing large quantities of plates, bowls, cutlery and suitable kitchenware by hand. Different machine configurations are available to suit businesses ranging from smaller cafés and restaurants through to hotels, canteens and other high-output catering operations.

Undercounter dishwashers can provide a compact solution where floor space is limited, while passthrough dishwashers offer a larger hood-type configuration with dedicated loading and unloading areas. For very high-volume operations, rack conveyor dishwashers allow racks to be moved continuously through the washing process.

For compact commercial dishwashing, see our Undercounter Dishwashers. Businesses requiring a higher-capacity hood-type machine can browse our Passthrough Dishwashers, while our Rack Conveyor Dishwashers are designed for high-volume continuous rack processing.

Commercial Glasswashers for Bars and Hospitality

Commercial glasswashers are designed specifically for cleaning drinking glasses and other suitable glassware in bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels and hospitality environments. Their dedicated baskets and internal configurations are designed around glassware, while compact designs can allow the machine to be positioned close to the bar or service area.

Undercounter glasswashers provide a practical solution where space is limited and the machine needs to fit beneath a suitable work surface. Passthrough glasswashers provide a larger hood-type configuration for businesses that need to process greater quantities of glassware through a dedicated washing area.

For compact glasswashing, explore our Undercounter Glasswashers. For higher-capacity hood-type glasswashing, see our Passthrough Glasswashers.

Specialist Commercial Warewashing Equipment

Not every commercial washing requirement is best met by a conventional dishwasher or glasswasher. Specialist equipment is available for businesses that need to clean cutlery, cooking utensils, pots, pans, gastronorm containers and other suitable catering equipment.

Our Cutlery & Utensil Washers provide dedicated solutions for specialist washing requirements, while Universal Dishwasher & Glasswasher Stands can provide suitable support and installation options for compatible commercial washing machines.

Capacity, Basket Size and Washing Throughput

Capacity and washing throughput are important considerations when choosing commercial warewashing equipment. Smaller machines can be suitable for businesses with moderate washing requirements, while larger passthrough and conveyor systems are designed to handle greater quantities during busy service periods.

Basket dimensions, wash cycle times and the number of racks that can be processed can vary significantly between machines. Consider the busiest periods of your operation when assessing the required capacity rather than relying only on average daily usage. The type and size of the crockery, glassware or utensils being washed should also be considered when comparing machines.

Water Supply, Drainage and Installation

Commercial dishwashers and glasswashers can have different water, drainage and electrical requirements depending on the model. Some machines use gravity drainage, while others incorporate drain pumps to provide greater flexibility where the waste connection cannot rely on gravity. Water softeners and other water treatment equipment may also be appropriate where local water hardness is a consideration.

Before purchasing a commercial warewashing machine, check the manufacturer's specifications for water supply, drainage, electrical connection, dimensions and installation requirements. The available space should include sufficient room for loading and unloading, opening doors or hoods and allowing staff to work safely around the appliance.

Commercial Warewashing for Busy Kitchens and Bars

Efficient warewashing is an important part of maintaining a smooth workflow in professional foodservice and hospitality environments. Having suitable commercial cleaning equipment available can help staff process dirty crockery, glassware and utensils efficiently and return clean items to service throughout the day.

The best equipment depends on the type of operation, available space and expected washing volume. A compact undercounter machine may be appropriate for a smaller café or bar, while larger kitchens and hospitality businesses may benefit from passthrough or conveyor equipment designed around higher washing throughput.

Finding the Right Commercial Dishwashers and Glasswashers

When comparing commercial dishwashers and glasswashers, consider the items being washed, the quantity generated during busy periods, available installation space and the machine's basket capacity and cycle time. Electrical requirements, drainage, water treatment and access for loading and unloading should also be checked before selecting equipment.

Choosing equipment according to the actual requirements of your business can help avoid paying for unnecessary capacity while ensuring that the machine is capable of keeping up with the demands of your kitchen or bar. Always check the individual product specifications for exact performance, dimensions and installation requirements.
