THE WORKING VIEW

Why this commercial glasswasher earns its place

The SXD45A is the flexible choice. It sits between the simplest and most-equipped models, giving you the core washing power without forcing you to pay for features you don't need today. The break tank is the key difference—it's a reservoir that holds wash water and drains it between cycles, giving you a bit of buffer if your waste line backs up momentarily or if you want to run the machine when water demand is high elsewhere in the kitchen.

The same peristaltic auto-dosing system delivers precise chemical metering, so your detergent and rinse aid do their job properly. The insulated boiler keeps temperatures stable through a busy shift, and the double-skinned cabinet sheds condensation without pooling. Three baskets per cycle, low-water operation, 2–3 minute wash times—it's the same reliable rhythm as the base model.

What makes the SXD45A smart is its upgrade path. If your water is hard, you can have an integral softener fitted. If your drainage setup changes or you need forced drain capability, the SXD45A D (with drain pump) exists. Start simple, upgrade when you know what you need. Programmable features, engineer diagnostic mode, optional auto-start door—it's built to fit your kitchen.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

It's a small reservoir that holds wash water between cycles. If your drain is slow or backs up momentarily, the tank gives you a second or two of buffer—the machine drains into the tank instead of backing up through the wash chamber. It's especially useful if you've got multiple drains competing for the same line in a busy kitchen.

Yes. The SXD45A D variant has a pump built in. If you start with the SXD45A and later need forced drainage (for example, if your kitchen layout changes), you can discuss upgrade options with us—call 01792 732702 for details on your specific installation.

The break tank doesn't soften anything—it just holds water. If your water is hard, you'll face the same scaling as any machine without a softener. The SXD45A IS variant adds an integral softener if you need it from day one.

It drains naturally between cycles and requires occasional rinsing. It's simple—no special maintenance beyond what the machine's cleaning routine handles.

The SXD45A is a complete, capable machine on its own. Many venues run them for years without adding softeners or pumps. Upgrade only if your kitchen needs change or your water hardness becomes obvious.
