Dishwashing
Commercial dishwashing equipment for restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Choose from front-loading machines for smaller kitchens, pass-through models for high-volume service, or dedicated glass washers for bar and restaurant glassware.
All units are designed for daily commercial use, with capacities from 30 baskets per hour upwards. Find the right fit for your kitchen workflow and throughput.
Commercial dishwashers and glass washers for restaurants and cafés. Front-loaders suit high-volume service; pass-throughs handle peak demand. Key decision: basket capacity per hour (30 typical) and whether you need manual or automatic detergent dispensing.
When selecting a dishwasher, consider your peak service volume, available space, and water/electrical supply. Front-loaders suit confined kitchens; pass-through models work best where dish flow moves in both directions. Glass washers protect delicate glassware and reduce breakage in busy bars.
Look for machines with manual or automatic detergent dispensers, drain pumps for flexible installation, and 230V or 400V options to match your facility. Capacity is measured in baskets per hour—ensure your choice handles your busiest service without bottlenecks.
- Basket capacity and cycles per hour
- Manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic controls

- Electrical supply: 230V or 400V compatibility
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What's the throughput on these machines?▾
Front-loaders and pass-throughs in this range handle 30 baskets per hour. Entry-level glass washers are manual cycles. Choose based on your meal-service volume.
Are these 230V single-phase or three-phase?▾
The Combisteel range listed here runs on 230V single-phase, typically 2.8kW for glass washers. Verify three-phase availability if your kitchen requires it.
What's the difference between front-loader and pass-through?▾
Front-loaders suit tight spaces; you load and unload from one side. Pass-throughs have two doors (soiled in, clean out) and cost more but speed up high-volume operations.
Do these include a drain pump?▾
Some models include drain pumps (check product title). This is useful if your floor drainage is not adjacent to the machine. Adds roughly €150–250 to price.
Can I get automatic detergent dispensing on glass washers?▾
Yes. Combisteel ENT 400 models with DDE (Detergent Dispenser Entry) are available. Manual-entry versions cost less and suit lower-volume bars or cafés.
What's the price range for a standard dishwasher?▾
Front-loaders range €2,454–€2,645 inc. VAT. Pass-throughs start at €4,354. Glass washers begin at €1,999. Drain pump option adds cost.
