THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The SD45A IS is built specifically for venues in hard water areas where you want guaranteed rinse quality without the cost and maintenance of a separate water-softening system. Break tank, integral softener, peristaltic auto-dosing, three-minute cycles—it's the full control package in a compact 450×450 frontloading frame.

Hard water leaves scale and spotting on glassware. Calcium and magnesium don't rinse away cleanly and customers notice. The integral water softener handles this at the source, before water even enters the wash chamber. Combined with the break tank that manages temperature and flow, plus the precise peristaltic dosing, you get restaurant-quality rinse results even in challenging water conditions. No guesswork, no descaling workarounds, no cross-your-fingers hoping the rinse aid holds up.

Three-minute cycles with two baskets mean service flow doesn't bottleneck. Double-skinned construction keeps the machine quiet and efficient. Programmable rinse thermolock, auto-start door, and audio status indicators let you run it the way your team works best. Engineer diagnostic mode is standard; servicing stays straightforward.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

The softener removes calcium and magnesium from incoming water before it enters the wash chamber. This prevents scale buildup and spotting on glassware. It regenerates automatically as part of the machine's operation—no separate salt handling or manual intervention needed.

Yes, you'll need to top up regeneration salt periodically, just like any water softener. Our team will show you where the salt hopper is during installation and tell you how often it needs replenishing based on your water hardness and machine usage.

The break tank manages water temperature and flow during the rinse cycle. Combined with the softener removing hardness, you get complete water control—hard water treated and rinse temperature held steady. Result: crystal-clean glasses every time.

The SD45A IS completes a three-minute cycle with two baskets. Exact throughput depends on glass size and basket configuration. Ring 01792 732702 with details of your glassware and we'll give you real numbers.

Yes. Rinse aid improves drying and shine even with softened water. The peristaltic auto-dosing system applies it precisely with every cycle—minimal waste, maximum effect.

The softener will stop working and hard water will pass through. Service quality will drop quickly. Check salt levels regularly as part of your routine opening checks. Our team can set up a maintenance schedule; call 01792 732702.
