Washtech PW2 Wide Body Potwasher

Washtech PW2 Wide Body Front Loading Warewasher and Pot Washer

The Washtech PW2 Wide Body Front Loading Warewasher is the heavy-duty sanitation solution for high-volume Australian commercial kitchens. Engineered to manage massive loads, this commercial pot washer and utensil cleaner eliminates manual scrubbing, allowing your kitchen staff to focus on food preparation and table service.

Whether you operate a high-output bakery, an industrial food production plant, a hotel, or a busy catering company, the wide body design of the PW2 ensures swift turnover times and consistent hygiene compliance for your largest, most challenging cookware.

Why the Washtech PW2 is the smart choice for large Bakeries

Busy hospitality venues handle substantial quantities of large-scale equipment that standard commercial dishwashers cannot accommodate. The Washtech PW2 is custom-built to bridge this operational gap with industrial-grade efficiency.

• Massive Chamber Capacity: Built with a wide body profile and a 750mm internal wash chamber clearance. It effortlessly sanitises large mixing bowls (up to 80–100 litres), baking trays, GN pans, ingredient bins, and floor mats.
• Dual Wash Pump System: Features a high-performance dual wash pump architecture (2x 1.5kW pumps) that recirculates wash water at a nominal 1600 litres per minute. This delivers water coverage that easily breaks down stubborn, baked-on grease, fats, and proteins.
• Sustainable Efficiency: Engineered to consume only 4.0 litres of hot water per cycle, making it far more resource-efficient than traditional sink scrubbing or manual water blasting.

Key Benefits & Operational Advantages

Washtech Hybrid Controls

Built for longevity in harsh kitchen environments, the hybrid control setup pairs heavy-duty IP65 stainless steel switches and robust mechanical switchgear with a highly precise, customisable electronic timer. This ensures reliable operation and minimal digital component breakdown.

Versatile Selection Cycles

Select between 2, 4, and 6-minute wash programs via the intuitive panel. This gives kitchen operators total control over throughput speeds, allowing them to match wash times directly to light or heavy soil levels.

Ergonomic Split-Door Design

The counterbalanced, insulated two-piece door splits effortlessly. This provides space-saving front-loading access while retaining internal heat, lowering ambient kitchen noise, and ensuring safety via an integrated safety stop switch.

Smart Break Tank & Rinse Pump

Equipped with an integrated break tank and powerful rinse booster pump elements. This configuration guarantees a consistent, high-temperature sanitising rinse every cycle, even in buildings with fluctuating or low inlet water pressures.

Standout Technical Features

• Pull-Out Stainless-Steel Grid: Features a heavy-duty loading grid that slides out smoothly, simplifying the loading and unloading of bulky items.
• Fast Clean Filtration System: Equipped with an easy-to-clean rounded wash tank alongside a double filtration system, including dual scrap trays and pump inlet filters.
• Precision Spray Arms: Heavy-duty, independent stainless-steel wash and rinse arms with precision jets ensure thorough cleaning coverage across the wide wash chamber.
• Integrated Chemical Dosing: Automated detergent and rinse-aid dispensers deliver precise chemical quantities without requiring manual intervention.

Cleaning & Maintenance Section

Maintaining the high-pressure performance of your wide body warewasher requires a few basic cleaning steps:

1. Empty the Scrap Trays: Lift out, empty, and rinse the double stainless steel scrap trays after every heavy service shift to prevent pump blockages.
2. Wipe the Rounded Tank: Use a damp cloth to clean the rounded internal wash tank walls daily. Avoid blasting high-pressure external water hoses directly at the control panel housing.
3. Inspect the Nozzles: Regularly check the stainless-steel wash and rinse arm jets for mineral or scale buildup, clearing any obstructions to maintain 1600L/min recirculation efficiency.
