Washtech PW1 Front Loading Warewasher and Pot Washer
The Washtech PW1 Front Loading Warewasher is the ultimate heavy-duty cleanup solution for busy Australian commercial kitchens. Engineered specifically to tackle oversized and heavily soiled items, this powerful utensil and pot washer eliminates time-consuming manual scrubbing. It allows your kitchen staff to focus on food preparation and service instead of fighting baked-on grease.
Whether running a high-volume bakery, a bustling production kitchen, or a busy restaurant, the Washtech PW1 ensures consistent hygiene standards and rapid turnaround times for your most challenging cookware.
Why the Washtech PW1 is Essential for Bakeries
Industrial kitchens face massive volumes of bulky pots, Gastronome (GN) pans, mixing bowls, and baking trays that simply will not fit into a standard commercial dishwasher. The Washtech PW1 is custom-built to bridge this gap.
- Maximised Productivity: Features an expansive front-loading chamber with a massive W720mm x D600mm x H750mm internal capacity. It accommodates bulky items up to 80 litres easily.
- Unrivalled Washing Force: Driven by a high-performance 2.0HP wash pump, the machine recirculates wash water at immense pressure. This ensures computer-designed wash jets strip away stubborn, baked-on proteins and fats without rewash cycles.
- Smart Resource Management: Despite its industrial power, it operates with a remarkably low hot water consumption rate of just 2.2 litres per cycle. This significantly reduces your venue’s electricity, water, and chemical expenditure.
Key Benefits & Operational Advantages
Versatile Cycle Options
Select between 2, 4, and 6-minute wash cycles via the intuitive control panel. This allows operators to perfectly match cycle times to soil levels, optimising kitchen throughput.
Washtech Hybrid Controls
Built for longevity, the hybrid control system combines heavy-duty IP65 stainless steel switches and robust mechanical switchgear with a highly precise electronic timer. This design offers the perfect balance of digital accuracy and simple, breakdown-free electromechanical reliability.
Ergonomic Split-Door Design
The counterbalanced, insulated two-piece door splits effortlessly. This provides seamless front-loading access while retaining heat, dampening wash noise, and keeping your kitchen environment cool.
Assured Sanitisation Rinse
An integrated rinse booster pump ensures that the final fresh-water rinse is delivered at a reliable, constant pressure and sanitising temperature. This completely isolates performance from fluctuations in your building’s mains water pressure.
