This commercial glasswasher is designed for operations that need to turn around glasses and similar items quickly. A 121-second cycle supports up to 25 racks per hour, while the 325 mm maximum glass height accommodates a useful range of commercial glassware.

It is supplied with 2 open baskets, each measuring 500 x 500 mm. The twin-basket package supports continuous commercial operation by allowing 1 basket to be loaded or unloaded while the other is being prepared for the next cycle.

Its rapid wash cycle takes 121 seconds and delivers up to 25 racks per hour. This throughput helps a busy glasswashing station return clean glassware to service promptly during peak trading periods.

It uses 2.5Ltr of water per cycle. The thermostatically controlled process operates with a 60°C wash and an 82°C rinse, balancing reduced water consumption with consistent commercial glasswashing performance.

Yes. It has built-in detergent and rinse-aid pumps. Use non-foaming commercial glasswashing detergent in the clear tube and rinse aid in the blue tube, keeping both containers close to the machine, below its level and without extensions to the feeder tubes.

When the machine is new or its chemical containers have run dry, full priming takes about 8-10 wash-and-rinse cycles. Ensure each feeder hose reaches the bottom of the correct container and has no kinks before starting the process.

Yes. It has a built-in drain pump and is supplied with a water connection hose and drain pipe. This provides the main connection components needed for installation, although the plumbing arrangement must still allow access for servicing and cleaning.

It requires a 3/4-inch NPT water connection and a dynamic inlet pressure of 2-4 bar (29-58 psi). A pressure-reducing valve is needed above this range, while insufficient pressure may require a booster pump.

An external water softener is required in medium- or hard-water areas, and Q565 is a compatible option sold separately. Regular descaling is also important, with treatment every 3 months or more frequently in hard-water locations. Local hardness can be checked with the water provider.

Start-up is controlled through one button that fills the machine and heats the boiler-tank water. This straightforward process reduces preparation time at the beginning of a shift and helps operators bring the glasswashing station into service efficiently.

The silver body, wash tank and boiler tank use easy-clean stainless steel, while the washing arms are made from strong reinforced polypropylene. The sealed body carries IPX5 water protection, although the machine must not be immersed or left standing in water.

Clean the stainless steel body, tank filters, washing arms and rinse sprayers regularly. Remove glass fragments or other blockages carefully, use only suitable commercial chemicals and check that non-foaming detergent is dosed correctly to prevent excess foam and poor rinsing.

The DW468 has a standard rating of 6600 W and requires installation by a qualified electrician. It supports a 30A single-phase arrangement or a 3-phase supply. A 13A arrangement can be used at reduced power. The exact site arrangement and accessible isolation point should be confirmed before installation.

It includes a 1-year parts and labour warranty. Correct installation, suitable water treatment and regular care are important because damage caused by limescale or poor water quality is not covered.
