Combining a compact under-bench footprint with an oversized wash chamber, this robust 500mm rack commercial dishwasher is uniquely capable of washing both standard crockery and large GN 1/1 gastronome pans at a rapid rate of up to 1,080 dishes or 240 pans per hour.

Washtech’s newest under counter dishwasher for the hospitality industry
In a high-pressure commercial kitchen, floor space is at a premium and turnaround time is critical. The Washtech XD bridges the gap between compact undercounter convenience and high-capacity pass-through performance. Its spacious 500mm x 560mm x 390mm internal wash chamber accepts oversized platters, baking trays, and gastronome pans that typically require hand-washing or a much larger machine.
This versatile dishwasher delivers immediate operational advantages across a variety of food service sectors:
- Cafes and Boutique Restaurants: Easily slides under standard stainless-steel benches to wash breakfast plates, coffee cups, and lunch service crockery without disrupting workflow.
- Bistros and Commercial Kitchens: Elevates kitchen hand efficiency by jumping between fine porcelain dinnerware and heavy-duty GN 1/1 kitchen pans.
- Catering Operations & Prep Kitchens: Eliminates backlogs of deep food pans and preparation trays during peak turnaround windows.
- Bars and Clubs: Functions as a high-capacity glasswasher and plate washer, ensuring a steady supply of clean, sanitized service items.

- Filter Clean: Remove the premium stainless-steel wash and drain filters, rinse away any trapped food debris, and place them back into position.
- Inspect the Arms: Periodically unscrew the upper and lower wash/rinse arms to check that the water jets are free of scale or foreign matter.
- Wipe down: Wipe down the internal door seal and stainless-steel surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads.
Why Choose the Washtech XD for your café or restaurant?
Standard under bench dishwashers is designed primarily for flat plates and coffee cups. When a kitchen hand forces a large gastronome tray or deep prep pan into a standard machine, it blocks the spray pattern, leading to poor wash results and re-washing delays. The Washtech XD eliminates this bottleneck entirely. Its deep chamber profile handles large-format kitchenware comfortably. Combined with heavy-duty construction and rapid 60-second turnarounds, this under bench unit delivers the brute strength of a pass-through hood machine without sacrificing valuable floor layout space.
