Washtech XM Compact Passthrough Dishwasher with 450mm Rack
The Washtech XM Compact Passthrough Dishwasher is the ultimate space-saving solution for busy commercial kitchens requiring high-speed sanitisation of up to 840 dishes per hour. Engineered precisely for compact Australian foodservice footprints, this heavy-duty, commercial pass-through dishwasher pairs ultra-fast 1, 2, and 3-minute wash cycles with a resource-efficient 2.2-litre water consumption rate per cycle. Built to establish an ergonomic, linear washing workflow, the Washtech XM fits standard 450mm racks. It eliminates the heavy lifting associated with undercounter models while rapidly accelerating turnaround times for plates, glasses, and cutlery. Whether you operate a tight inner-city cafe, a boutique restaurant, or a bustling espresso bar, this reliable compact pass-through unit guarantees exceptional food safety compliance, sparkling results, and maximum performance without wasting valuable floor space.
Heavy-Duty Efficiency for Compact Kitchen Footprints
The primary advantage of the Washtech XM is its ability to upgrade a cramped, inefficient wash area into an ergonomic, high-performance pass-through line. Intended to sit between stainless steel inlet and outlet benches, it allows staff to seamlessly slide 450mm racks from sorting directly into the wash chamber. This eliminates physical strain and drastically lowers the risk of costly crockery breakages.
Equipped with a powerful 1.0HP wash pump, the XM strips away heavy cooking grease, dried food, and stubborn residues instantly. Despite its high-pressure wash action, it manages utility consumption efficiently using an atmospheric vacuum breaker backflow prevention system and durable hybrid controls. This keeps your water and power overheads low while meeting strict Australian commercial kitchen hygiene standards.

Why the Washtech XM is Perfect for Small compact Commercial Kitchens
When floor space is at a premium, you cannot afford to waste space on an oversized dishwasher. The Washtech XM offers all the high-volume operational benefits of a full-sized pass-through unit, packed into a lean 655mm-wide chassis. Manufactured in New Zealand using premium-grade, locally accessible components, it is engineered to thrive under punishing commercial conditions.
Its hybrid user interface replaces delicate digital touchscreens with robust, tactile mechanical selectors that tolerate wet hands and heavy kitchen usage. The structural layout is exceptionally versatile; it functions beautifully as a standard straight line or tucked directly into a corner. For corner spaces, simply face the machine left to access the controls easily while leaving a clear 300mm front boundary for simple servicing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I run the Washtech XM on a standard single-phase 15A kitchen plug?
A: Yes, you can. The machine can be wired directly out of the box to operate on a standard single-phase 230-240V, 15 Amp power supply with a max draw of 3.75 kW. For venues with higher power capability, it can be uprated to 25 Amp single-phase or 15 Amp three-phase to achieve faster heat recovery times.
Q: What bench depth is required to accommodate this compact dishwasher?
A: The Washtech XM is specifically optimised for smaller spaces and fits perfectly onto commercial kitchen benches measuring between 600mm and 700mm in depth, featuring a compact 510mm bench gap.
Q: Does the machine require gravity drainage or an external drain box?
A: No gravity drain is required. The Washtech XM includes an advanced, hands-free auto-drain pump and a 25mm flexible drain hose as standard. This allows the machine to drain correctly even if your building’s waste connection is elevated.
Q: What water quality parameters must be met to keep the warranty intact?
A: To prevent dangerous mineral scaling and protect the internal elements, supply water must maintain a pH value between 7 and 8, and a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level between 1 and 135 ppm. If your local water supply is hard, an external water softener filter is highly recommended.
Q: Can this compact pass-through unit be used in a corner configuration?
A: Absolutely. It is designed for both straight line and corner setups. For corner layouts, install the machine facing left so the control panels remain easy to reach, and leave at least a 300mm gap at the front for maintenance access.
