Eswood SW400 Smartwash Automatic Glasswasher

Eswood SW400 Smartwash Automatic Under-Counter Glass Washer

The Eswood SW400 Smartwash represents the next generation of intelligent, high efficiency undercounter glass washers designed to survive and thrive in busy Australian hospitality environments. Seamlessly combining advanced automation with a compact under-bench layout, this automatic glass washer is engineered for rapid front-of-house turnaround. It delivers an exceptional washing capacity of up to 1,200 glasses per hour, ensuring a steady stream of sparkling, sanitized glassware even during your venue’s most intense peak trading periods.

Optimised for commercial bars, busy cafes, pub service lines, and premium restaurants, the Smartwash SW400 elevates washing standards through its cutting-edge “one-touch” electronic control system. Featuring an impressive 325mm internal door clearance, this versatile machine effortlessly accommodates high-stemmed wine glasses, artisan cocktail glasses, and standard Australian commercial beer jugs with room to spare.

Why the Eswood SW400 is a popular choice

In high-volume catering and hospitality settings, managing utility consumption while upholding strict sanitation rules dictates daily profitability. The Eswood SW400 directly addresses these overhead pressures by achieving remarkable water and energy efficiency, consuming only 1.9 litres of water per wash cycle. By minimising hot water and chemical consumption without compromising cycle pressure, businesses dramatically lower their ongoing operational overheads.

Operational safety and temperature verification are built directly into the front-facing user interface. The user-friendly digital control panel displays real-time wash and rinse tank temperatures simultaneously, allowing managers to effortlessly perform visual HACCP compliance tracking throughout the service shift. To eliminate common installation headaches, the SW400 comes standard with an integrated drain pump, detergent pump, and rinse-aid dispenser, allowing a simple, hassle-free installation underneath standard commercial bars and counters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can the Eswood SW400 be plugged into a standard 10A residential wall outlet?
A: No. The SW400 operates on a powerful 3.6 kW heating element system and requires a dedicated 15-amp commercial power outlet featuring a wider grounding pin infrastructure.

Q: How does the Thermo stop function help with local safety compliance?
A: The Thermo stop system pauses the active cycle countdown if the booster tank water drops below required levels. This guarantees that the final rinsing stage always achieves the exact thermal sanitising temperature needed to satisfy local councils.

Q: Does this smart model require an external drain pump connection?
A: No. Unlike older gravity-drain machinery, the Smartwash SW400 includes a heavy-duty drain pump fitted as standard, allowing wastewater to be safely pumped uphill into elevated bar traps.

Q: What glassware sizes can fit inside the door opening?
A: Thanks to the generous 325mm door clearance height, it can easily handle the tallest European stemware, heavy craft beer schooners, and standard tall water pitchers/beer jugs without clipping the upper spray assembly.

Q: How much water will this machine use during a standard trade shift?
A: The SW400 is incredibly water efficient, using just 1.9 litres of water per automatic cycle. If you run 20 cycles during a busy night, it will consume less than 40 litres of water in total.
