Washtech AL High Capacity Pass-Through Dishwasher
The Washtech AL High Capacity Pass-Through Dishwasher is a premier commercial ware washing powerhouse engineered to meet the intense, rapid-fire demands of large-scale Australian hospitality venues. Distributed nationwide by Moffat PTY Limited, this heavy-duty commercial hood dishwasher delivers lightning-fast processing speeds alongside flexible rack configurations designed to accommodate both standard dinner plates and bulky kitchen utensils.
If your high-volume commercial kitchen requires maximum throughput, absolute thermal sanitisation compliance, and long-term durability, upgrading to the Washtech AL series ensures your washup station eliminates back-of-house operational bottlenecks.
Commercial Applications and Industry Use Cases
The versatile, ultra-high-volume architecture of the Washtech AL is built for smooth integration into high-capacity straight inline or corner bench processing lines.
- Large-Scale Function Centres and Hotels: Effortlessly processes monumental volumes of dirty dinnerware between event courses, reducing table turnaround delays.
- Bustling Multi-Level Bistros and Pubs: Clears heavy dinner plates, glassware, and bulky prep trays simultaneously during peak weekend trading hours.
- Commercial Production Kitchens: Accommodates high-sided gastronome pans and mixing bowls directly into the wash cycle, cutting down manual pot-washing tasks.
- Hospitals and Large Aged Care Facilities: Guarantees strict adherence to Australian food safety standards through explicit thermal sanitisation monitoring on its digital touchscreen display.
Why the Washtech AL is Vital for Commercial Kitchens
- Unmatched Throughput Velocities
With ultra-rapid cycle settings, the Washtech AL boasts a massive maximum output of up to 1,980 dinner plates per hour. This explosive speed keeps kitchen hands supplied with clean, hot plates during non-stop peak periods.
- True Gastronorm (GN) Pan Compatibility
Unlike restrictive standard-sized machines, the wide internal wash chamber easily accepts oversized 600mm x 500mm racks. This allows your staff to clean 5 full-sized GN pans or up to 22 large dinner plates in a single run.
- Constant Thermal Sanitisation
Equipped with heavy-duty dual boilers and an integrated rinse booster pump, the unit enforces a consistent, high-temperature sanitising spray every cycle. This guarantees a flawless wash that passes strict health inspections, regardless of the incoming water pressure.
High-Performance Operational Advantages
- Powerful 1.5HP Soft Start Wash Pump: The upgraded 1.5HP pump delivers intense water pressure for stubborn baked-on starches but starts up progressively. This soft start features safeguards lighter dinnerware and delicate glassware from moving or cracking.
- Insulated Front Hood Design: Constructed with an insulated front hood panel, the dishwasher locks in vital thermal energy, minimizes ambient kitchen noise, and stops steam from blasting directly out into staff workspaces.
- Heads-Up Touchscreen Interface: The interactive digital display provides real-time cycle timers, error diagnoses, and immediate temperature parameters at a single glance.
- Automated Sump and Drain Pump: Active hands-free drainage automatically flushes out greasy, contaminated wash water, preventing unhygienic water backups or manual tank draining chores.
Key Product Features
- Three Ultra-Fast Cycle Settings: Select from 40, 60, and 90-second ultra-efficient run choices depending on soil levels.
- Premium Stainless Steel Engineering: Built using marine-grade, heavy-duty stainless steel for the chassis, manifold, and independent wash and rinse arms.
- Advanced Double Filtration: A smart two-stage stainless steel filtration system captures large solid food scraps before they can reach the primary pumps.
- Dual Built-In Chemical Dosing Pumps: Automatically injects precise measures of commercial detergent and rinse-aid across every wash shift.
- Complete Commercial Rack Bundle: Fully set up out of the box with the exact specialist racks required for diverse kitchen wash environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What type of racks come standard with the Washtech AL package?
A: The machine ships complete with an all-inclusive rack bundle, including one 600mm GN tray rack for heavy pots and sheets, one 500mm pegged plate rack, one 500mm glass/cup rack, and a dedicated cutlery container.
Q: Can I run the Washtech AL using a cold-water connection?
A: The Washtech AL is optimized for connection to a hot water line at 65°C to preserve fast cycle recovery and power efficiency. While it is built to support connection to lower inlet temperature or lower pressure configurations, doing so may prolong the heat recovery windows between rapid cycles.
Q: Where should the electrical isolation switch be positioned?
A: According to the official manufacturer installation specifications, the three-phase isolating power switch must be fixed within 1 metre of the unit. To ensure quick emergency access, it must not be located directly behind the machine’s chassis.
Q: Can this machine be fitted into a corner workstation?
A: Yes. The Washtech AL is fully optimized for standard straight-through workflows as well as right-angle corner configurations. When placing it in a corner, make sure the incoming clean bench tracks feed the dishwasher racks directly into the back of the washer, keeping 300mm of frontal clearance open for maintenance.
Q: Is the digital control screen relocatable?
A: Yes. The digital heads-up display is packaged with a flexible installation bracket. This allows technicians to cleanly fix the control box on the left side, right side, directly on an adjacent wall, or below the under-counter bench framing.
