Why this commercial dishwasher earns its place
Installation constraints are real in many bar and restaurant kitchens. A gravity-drain glasswasher needs to be positioned so wastewater flows downhill to a sump or drainage point. Raised bar tops, mezzanine kitchens, or retrofits into existing spaces often don't allow that. The PG50 D solves it with an integral drain pump—the machine actively pushes wastewater up to a raised outlet or across to wherever your drain runs.
The pump is built in and controlled by the cycle logic, so it's silent and automatic. Fill, wash, rinse, drain—the pump handles the drain phase without staff involvement. The rest of the spec is the PG50's proven design: two-minute cycle, heavy-duty wash pump, low-volume wash tank, peristaltic auto-dosing for precise detergent control. Insulated cabinet and double-skinned boiler keep temperatures stable through service. Two glass baskets and extra usable wash height mean tall glasses load safely. You get the same programmable options—rinse thermolock, auto-start door, audio indicators, and the option to add an integral water softener when your water demands it.
Drain pump machines cost slightly more than gravity-drain models, but the flexibility in placement often saves hundreds in installation work. If your kitchen layout doesn't give you a natural downslope to the sump, this is the spec that works.
