THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The SXD40A is the right size for venues where volume is steady rather than extreme. At 400×400, it fits tightly into compact bar spaces or smaller kitchens where a larger machine would simply waste floor space and electricity. It still handles three baskets per cycle, which means you're washing meaningful quantities of glassware without the footprint overhead.

The machine doesn't compromise on the core technology. Peristaltic auto-dosing handles detergent and rinse aid precisely — no guessing, no overuse, just consistent chemistry every cycle. The insulated boiler keeps rinse water at the right temperature whether you're running cycle one or cycle 100, and double-skinned construction keeps the machine quiet and efficient. Variable 2 or 3-minute cycles mean you choose: quick reset during service or deeper clean when needed.

The break tank design allows you to stack cycles efficiently, important when you're trying to keep a steady supply of clean glassware moving through a single small machine. No bells and whistles, just solid engineering built to last.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

The machine accepts three baskets. Glass capacity depends on basket loading, but a single basket typically holds 20–25 standard pint glasses or 40–50 wine glasses, giving you flexibility to wash high volumes or mixed sizes in one run.

That depends on your service style. A 400×400 machine running consecutive 2-minute cycles can produce 30+ cycles per hour — that's 90+ baskets of glassware in a shift. For most pubs and bars, that's plenty. For high-volume nightclubs or very busy venues, the larger 450×450 models (SXD45 D or SXD45 IS D) might be better.

The SXD40A is designed for neutral to soft water. If you have hard water, you can add an integral softener option when ordering — your supplier can advise on what's right for your water conditions.

The SXD40A is built for low-water usage, a significant cost saving over hand-washing or older equipment. Exact consumption depends on your cycle selection and load, but efficiency is a core design principle.

Yes, the machine supports an integral softener option. If you start without it and later find you need it, ask your supplier about retrofit options.

The machine has engineer diagnostic mode, which makes troubleshooting quick. Call 01792 732702 for support, and your engineer can often diagnose issues in minutes without needing to strip the machine down.
