Washtech PW2C Wide Body Front Loading Warewasher with Heat Recovery
The Washtech PW2C Wide Body Front Loading Warewasher with Heat Recovery represents the absolute pinnacle of high-capacity, energy-efficient sanitation engineering for modern Australian commercial kitchens. This industrial-strength pot, pan, and utensil washer combines a massive widebody cleaning profile with advanced heat recycling technology.
By capturing raw steam from the wash cycle and using it to preheat incoming water, the PW2C eliminates the need for an expensive external extraction canopy in most installation scenarios. It is the ultimate asset for high-volume bakeries, production kitchens, supermarkets, and hospitals looking to slash utility bills, reduce workspace humidity, and eliminate manual scrubbing.
The Washtech PW2C is popular with large bakeries
Managing heavy, oversized cookware like mixing bowls, ingredient bins, and large baking trays strains kitchen throughput. The Washtech PW2C wide body architecture is purpose-built to handle these extreme workloads with minimal environmental impact.
- Condense Steam & Cut Costs: The integrated heat recovery unit condenses waste steam to preheat the cold-water supply. This drastically reduces energy consumption and ensures that a cloud of hot, humid steam doesn’t escape into the kitchen when the door is opened.
- Massive Loading Chamber Clearance: Features an expansive usable internal wash area (W 1100mm x D 650mm x H 750mm) that comfortably holds large crates, heavy pots, and bulky preparation equipment.
- High-Powered Water Recirculation: Driven by an industrial-grade high-powered dual-pump wash system, the machine strips away stubborn, baked-on grease and carbon deposits without needing a pre-wash.
Key Benefits & Operational Advantages
Smart Production Cycle Options
Optimise your kitchen’s workflow with versatile 2.5, 4.5, and 6.5-minute wash cycles. Staff can easily select the appropriate program duration based on the soil levels of the cookware, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Washtech Hybrid Controls
Engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of commercial environments, the hybrid panel pairs water-resistant IP67 stainless steel switches and tried-and-tested electromechanical switchgear with a highly precise, customisable electronic timer.
Ergonomic Counterbalanced Door
The wash chamber is easily accessible via an insulated, counterbalanced, sprung split door. The split design saves valuable floor space in busy wash areas while providing wide-open access for bulky items.
Internal Upper Rail Efficiency
The machine features an integrated internal upper rail equipped with optional and adjustable tines. This smart design is perfect for hanging long ladles or whisks, and it allows for the vertical washing of up to 20 baking or GN trays (up to 40mm deep) per cycle.

Cleaning & Maintenance Section
Maintaining the high-pressure performance of your heat-recovery warewasher is straightforward with these regular maintenance habits:
- Empty the Scrap Trays: Lift out, empty, and rinse the double stainless steel scrap trays after every heavy service shift to prevent debris from reaching the wash pump inlet filter.
- Clean the Chamber Interior: Use a soft damp cloth to clean the rounded internal wash tank walls daily. Avoid blasting high-pressure external water hoses directly at the electronic control panel housing or doors.
- Check the Spray Jets: Periodically inspect the independent stainless-steel wash and rinse arms, clearing any mineral scale or food blockages from the precision jets to maintain full water velocity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do I need to install a dedicated exhaust canopy over the Washtech PW2C?
A: In most instances, no extraction canopy is required because the integrated heat recovery unit condenses and recycles the steam internally, provided the room has adequate general ventilation.
Q: How many baking trays can be washed at one time?
A: Thanks to the internal upper rail and adjustable tines, you can load and wash up to 20 baking or GN trays (up to 40mm deep) vertically per cycle.
Q: What are the electrical connection requirements for this widebody model?
A: The PW2C requires a heavy-duty three-phase electrical hardwired connection, configurable to either 20 Amps or 30 Amps per phase depending on your kitchen’s power availability.
Q: Can the machine operate if my building has low water pressure?
A: Yes, the machine is factory-fitted with an internal break tank and a rinse booster pump system, making it completely suitable for installation on low inlet water pressure lines.
Q: What is the benefit of the hybrid control system?
A: It combines heavy-duty, waterproof IP67 stainless steel mechanical switches with an advanced digital electronic timer, delivering physical durability alongside precision timing.
