THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The SXD40 is a solid, workhorse glasswasher for bars, clubs and high-volume restaurants that need speed and reliability on a budget. Its gravity drain keeps the plumbing simple and robust—no pump to fail. The 2 or 3-minute cycle options let you match service pace: grab-and-go for a busy Friday, or a longer, gentler wash if glassware is heavy-soiled.

The peristaltic dosing system is the real hero. It dispenses detergent and rinse aid in exact quantities, so your glasses come out spotless with minimal chemical waste. The insulated boiler maintains heat through cycles, cutting energy bills. Water usage is genuinely low: the double-skinned design means heat doesn't bleed away, so the machine works harder and wastes less.

Three baskets come with it—enough for a two-basket rhythm (washing one while prep clears the other). The engineer diagnostic mode is there when things go wrong, but gravity drains rarely do. If you're washing a hundred covers a service, this machine earns its place fast.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

The 2-minute cycle gives you 30 racks/hour if you're running continuously. Most services run at 15–20 racks/hour to keep up with actual service pace without glassware bottlenecking elsewhere. Three baskets means there's always one washing while you clear the others.

No. Gravity drain means you only need a waste outlet below the machine—no power for a pump, no extra pipes. Water supply is standard cold in, though the insulated boiler heats to rinse temperature automatically. Check with your plumber for waste routing, but it's about as straightforward as dishwashing kit gets.

The rinse thermolock keeps final-rinse temperature high enough to bead water off cleanly, which cuts spotting. If your water is very hard (over 200 ppm), ask Craven about options—the integral softener comes as an upgrade (see SXD40 IS variants), but the standard SXD40 works fine with a dosing aid in soft-to-medium areas.

Use a commercial glasswash detergent and rinse aid—the peristaltic dosers are set up for standard 0.5–1.0 l/hr dosing rates. Talk to your chemical supplier about what's right for your water hardness, then ring Craven on 01792 732702 to dial the dosers in if needed.

The engineer diagnostic mode flags faults early, and gravity drains rarely fail—you're looking at a handful of service calls across years. Craven's on 01792 732702 for breakdowns and planned maintenance.
