Why this pass through dishwasher earns its place
FT538 is Winterhalter's PT-XL pass-through dishwasher with water softener, specified for sites that want a hood-type machine matched to local water conditions rather than a plain base unit. The supplier-stated body is stainless steel with a silver finish, giving it the usual commercial wash-up resilience for daily back-of-house use.
The footprint is 735mm wide by 750mm deep, with a 1655mm working height and 153kg gross weight. Those numbers make the pre-install check important: measure the hood space, delivery route and service access before committing, especially where the dishwasher sits between inlet and outlet tables.
The machine is three phase and uses a drain pump, so electrical supply and drainage both need confirming with the site services. Winterhalter states that the machine can be set up to suit on-site conditions, including the wash load and local water conditions, which is the practical reason to choose the water-softener variant where hardness is part of the buying brief.
