Washtech XL High Capacity PassThrough Dishwasher

Washtech XL High-Capacity Passthrough Dishwasher

The Washtech XL High-Capacity Passthrough Dishwasher is the pinnacle of heavy-duty ware washing. It is engineered to sanitise up to 1,620 dishes per hour in demanding, high-volume commercial kitchens. Designed for fast-paced Australian food service operations, this robust pass-through commercial dishwasher features 40, 60, and 90-second rapid cleaning cycles. It maintains an exceptionally lean 2.2-litre water consumption rate per cycle.

The versatile internal wash chamber is compatible with both standard 500mm racks and oversized 600mm Gastronome tray racks. This compatibility eliminates workflow bottlenecks and protects your staff from strenuous lifting. Whether you manage a large convention centre, a high-turnover pub, or a busy hospital kitchen, investing in the Washtech XL delivers maximum performance. It ensures sparkling results and complete food safety compliance during peak operational rushes.

High-Volume Efficiency for Fast-Paced Kitchen Operations

The main advantage of the Washtech XL is its ability to transform high-volume dishwashing zones into highly efficient, linear pass-through lines. By sliding larger 500mm to 600mm GN racks directly from sorting tables into the wash chamber, kitchen hands work ergonomically without physical strain. This approach speeds up turnaround times and prevents accidental tableware breakages.

The machine features a powerful 1.5HP wash pump. This pump forces high-pressure water streams through heavy-duty stainless steel wash manifolds to slice through baked-on food residues and grease. Despite this immense washing power, the unit limits operational expenses. It uses an atmospheric vacuum breaker backflow prevention system and intuitive hybrid controls to regulate water and energy consumption.

Why the Washtech XL is Ideal for Large Capacity Commercial Kitchens

High-volume operations cannot afford a breakdown at the dishwashing station. The Washtech XL stands out as a premier investment because it handles massive throughput without expanding your floor layout footprint. Manufactured in New Zealand using premium, locally accessible components, it is engineered specifically for demanding Australian hospitality conditions.

Its hybrid control interface replaces delicate digital touchscreens with robust, tactile mechanical selectors that tolerate wet hands and heavy commercial use. The physical configuration is exceptionally flexible; it functions beautifully as a standard straight line or tucked into a tight corner. For corner installations, simply face the machine left so operators can safely access the control dial while maintaining a 300mm front clearance for quick servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can the Washtech XL run on a single-phase electrical supply?
A: Yes, it can. Out of the box, the unit can be wired to run on either a standard 15 Amp single-phase supply (max 3.60 kW) or a 25 Amp single-phase supply (max 6.10 kW). For rapid heat recovery during back-to-back high-volume shifts, it can also be configured for a 15 Amp per phase three-phase setup.

Q: Does this high-capacity unit require a gravity drain line?
A: No gravity drain is required. The Washtech XL comes standard with a hands-free auto-drain pump and a 25mm flexible drain hose. This configuration allows the machine to drain correctly even if your building’s waste pipe outlet is elevated.

Q: What size racks can be loaded into this pass-through dishwasher?
A: This unit features an expanded internal chamber that fits standard 500mm x 500mm dish and cup racks, as well as oversized 600mm Gastronorm tray racks. This capability makes it highly versatile for kitchen setups using large bakeware or catering platters.

Q: What are the incoming water pressure requirements for this machine?
A: To maintain the optimized 2.2-litre water consumption rate per cycle, your incoming water supply pressure must be between 200 kPa and 350 kPa, with a steady flow rate of 20 litres per minute.

Q: Are there water quality limitations to keep the factory warranty valid?
A: Yes. Your supply water must maintain a pH level between 7 and 8, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) must remain between 1 and 135 ppm. If your kitchen operates in a hard water area, installing a commercial water treatment filter protects the heating elements.
