Explore commercial dishwashers, glasswashers, passthrough, rack conveyor & pot washers. Plus accessories like racks, baskets & drip trays.A slow or unreliable warewashing system is one of the fastest ways to bring a busy service to its knees. Whether you’re running a high-volume restaurant, a hotel bar, a function venue, or a school canteen, the ability to turn around clean crockery, glassware, and utensils quickly and hygienically is critical to your operation. Beyond speed, commercial warewashing is a food safety issue: under Australian Standard 3.2.2, food contact surfaces must be effectively cleaned and sanitised, and a quality commercial dishwasher operating at the correct wash and rinse temperatures delivers consistent, verifiable results that manual washing cannot guarantee.
What to look for when buying commercial warewashing equipment
Throughput rating. Commercial dishwashers are rated by the number of racks — or glasses — they can process per hour. Underestimate this and you’ll have queues of dirty ware backing up into the kitchen mid-service. Be realistic about your peak covers, then match equipment to that volume.
Wash and rinse temperatures. Food safety compliance requires wash cycles at a minimum temperature sufficient to sanitise food contact surfaces. Look for machines that display and log wash and rinse temperatures, as this simplifies HACCP record-keeping and makes health inspector visits straightforward. Many modern commercial dishwashers offer digital controls and programmable cycles to handle different ware loads.
Undercounter versus pass-through. For smaller venues, an undercounter glasswasher or dishwasher is compact and cost-effective. Higher-volume operations — function centres, hotels, large restaurants — typically need pass-through (hood-type) machines that deliver faster rack cycle times and handle mixed ware loads more efficiently.
