Washtech XG Economy Undercounter Glasswasher

Washtech XG Under Counter Glasswasher 365mm Rack

The Washtech XG Under Counter Glasswasher is the ultimate high-efficiency, space-saving ware washing solution engineered specifically for demanding Australian hospitality venues. Built by industry pioneer Washtech and distributed nationwide by Moffat, this heavy-duty under bench glass washer delivers ultra-fast 60-second and 120-second wash cycles, effortlessly cleaning up to 540 glasses per hour. The XG model sets a new standard for resource economy, utilising an incredibly low 1.5 litres of hot water per cycle, drastically reducing venue utility expenses. Equipped with a built-in drain pump and an automated hands-free auto-drain system, it seamlessly adapts to restrictive bar footprints where floor-level drainage is unavailable.

Commercial Hospitality Use Cases

• High-Turnover Cocktail Bars: Effortlessly cycles through delicate highball glasses, martini stemware, and custom tumblers during frantic weekend trade.
• Boutique City Cafés: Fits neatly beneath low-clearance counters to sanitize latte glasses, teacups, and water jugs right at the point of service.
• Pubs and Microbreweries: Removes thick stubborn foam residue from standard beer mugs and schooner glasses in a single, high-pressure pass.
• Hotel Lounges and Vineyards: Ensures an uninterrupted supply of crystal-clear wine glasses during peak tasting events or crowded banquet rushes.

Strategic Benefits and Operational Advantages

Zero Setup Boundaries with Integrated Drain Pump

Unlike traditional gravity-drain models that require elevated plinths, the Washtech XG features a heavy-duty factory-fitted drain pump. This allows wastewater to be pumped upwards directly into under-sink traps or elevated drainage pipe networks, making it the most versatile plug-and-play unit for tight layouts.

Industry-Leading Water and Energy Efficiency

Consuming a mere 1.5L of water per wash cycle, the XG is an elite green appliance that lowers commercial hot water heating bills and limits wastewater generation. This specialized recirculation tech optimizes chemical blending without compromising on rapid thermal sanitization.

Uncompromising Cleanliness and Reliability

The system merges robust, easily serviced Washtech Hybrid Controls with dual internal chemical pumps for automated detergent and rinse-aid dosing. Supported by a lower wash/rinse arm featuring precision-moulded jets and an independent upper rinse jet, it guarantees spotless glassware with zero blind spots.

2. Filter Care: Lift out and wash the heavy-duty stainless-steel wash and drain filter basket under a warm tap daily to remove pulp or seeds.
3. Jet Cleaning: Inspect the lower wash/rinse arm and upper rinse jets weekly. Wipe away any calcium scale or blockages.

Its specialized electromechanical switchgear bypasses complex, delicate touchscreens that glitch when operators have wet hands, offering unparalleled uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I need to buy separate detergent and rinse aid pumps for the Washtech XG?
A: No. The Washtech XG comes factory-standard with fully integrated dual chemical pumps and internal injector lines. It automatically draws in the exact required amount of chemical per cycle, removing the need for manual liquid handling or expensive external dosing equipment modifications.

Q: Can the Washtech XG pump water out if my plumbing wall socket is elevated?
A: Yes, absolutely. The XG features an integrated commercial-grade drain pump and an included 25mm flexible outlet hose. This actively pushes water out and upward, making it ideal for standard under-sink traps or bar setups where floor-level gravity drains are absent.

Q: Can I run this machine on a standard 10-Amp residential household power plug?
A: No. To power the high-speed 3.15 kW heating elements required to reach sanitizing rinse temperatures quickly, the Washtech XG requires a single-phase 15-Amp power point. A quick connection kit with a pre-moulded 15A plugset is supplied for easy commercial installation.

Q: Is the Washtech XG large enough to wash standard commercial dinner plates?
A: No, the XG is a compact glasswasher specifically tailored for 365mm square racks and features an internal clearance door height of 290mm. While it is perfect for cups, highballs, and saucers, standard commercial dinner plates require a larger underbench dishwasher that accepts 450mm or 500mm racks, such as the Washtech XV model.

Q: How does the Washtech 5-2-2 warranty function if my bar is in regional Australia?
A: Moffat manages an expansive network of certified catering equipment technicians across every state and territory. Because Snowmaster partners directly with Moffat as an authorized expert, your 2-year comprehensive on-site labour and parts warranty is fully supported with local service agents and rapid genuine spare parts stock access.
