THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial dishwasher earns its place

The SD50A D is purpose-built for kitchens that generate substantial warewashing waste-water or operate in locations where continuous drainage isn't an option. The break tank collects discharge water temporarily, and the integral drain pump empties it on a schedule you control—ideal for events catering, mobile units, or high-turnover venues where you need to manage volume.

The three-minute cycle delivers 20 baskets an hour, same as the standard SD50. Peristaltic auto-dosing keeps chemical cost tight. Double-skinned construction handles peak-service abuse. Two baskets mean you're always loading one while the other runs.

The real advantage is operational flexibility: you're not slaves to a live drain. Run the dishwasher through service without worrying about water backup or overflow. When the break tank is full, the pump drains it into your waste system in one controlled discharge. That gives you breathing room in busy periods and works perfectly in kitchen setups where plumbing infrastructure is limited.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

A break tank temporarily holds the dishwasher's waste water instead of flowing straight to the drain. When it's full, the pump empties it in one discharge. This is essential for high-volume kitchens or sites where continuous drainage isn't practical—you get peak capacity without water backup or overflow.

That depends on your usage pattern and local drainage setup. For specific tank capacity and scheduling advice, contact 01792 732702—we'll size it to your throughput.

You control that through the unit's programme settings. In a busy kitchen running 20 baskets an hour, the tank will fill and drain on a schedule that matches your service rhythm. We'll commission it to your specific operation.

The pump uses a small amount of extra power, but the benefit is operational flexibility and protection against drain overflow. Over a full year, that cost is negligible against the peace of mind of never backing up during service.

Yes, though it's designed for situations where drainage is limited. If you have good floor drainage already, the standard SD50 or SD50 D might be more straightforward. Chat with 01792 732702 about your specific kitchen setup.

The integral pump is serviced as part of routine dishwasher maintenance. For technical guidance on pump care and break tank cleaning schedules, call 01792 732702.
