Dishwashers & glasswashers
Commercial dishwashers and glasswashers are essential for high-volume cafés, coffee shops, and food-service operations across Ireland and the EU. Front-loading and undercounter models handle everything from espresso cups and saucers to full place settings, keeping pace with service demands.
Choose by basket capacity, cycle time, and water connection options. Entry-level machines suit smaller venues; higher-capacity units serve busy kitchens processing 500+ covers daily.
Front-loading dishwashers and glasswashers designed for cafés, coffee shops and small restaurants. These compact entry-line models operate on 230V single-phase power, deliver 30 baskets per hour, and start from €1,999. Choose based on basket width (350–500mm) and whether you need integral drain pumps or detergent dispensers.
When selecting a dishwasher or glasswasher, consider your daily volume, available space, and water/drainage setup. Front-loaders suit traditional kitchens; compact models fit tight café counters. Check cycle times, energy consumption, and whether you need integral detergent dispensers or drain pumps.
Most commercial units operate on 230V single-phase and deliver 30–50 baskets per hour. Glasswashers specialise in delicate glassware and stemware with shorter cycles and gentler spray patterns. Dishwashers handle crockery, cutlery, and pots.
