Glasswashers
A glasswasher is essential kit for any bar, pub, or hospitality venue serving drinks. These compact, high-capacity machines clean and sanitise glasses, stemware, and small tableware in minutes, keeping service moving and standards consistent.
Designed for fast turnaround in busy environments, commercial glasswashers handle the volume your operation demands whilst freeing staff to focus on service.
Glasswashers are compact undercounter machines designed for bars and pubs to clean drinking glasses rapidly and consistently. They deliver 30 baskets per hour, operate at 2.9kW, and include drain pumps and detergent dispensers. Essential for high-volume glass service in tight spaces.
When selecting a glasswasher, consider basket capacity (typically 20–40 cycles per hour), cycle time, water and energy efficiency, and whether you need an integral drain pump and detergent dispenser. Compact 350mm models suit tight bar spaces, whilst larger units fit dedicated wash stations.
Most commercial glasswashers run hot-fill or cold-fill cycles and require a suitable drain and water supply. Check your plumbing layout before purchase. Regular maintenance of spray arms and filters keeps performance consistent and extends machine life.
