Washtech PW1C

Washtech PW1C Front Loading Warewasher with Heat Recovery

The Washtech PW1C is a heavy-duty front loading warewasher engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens, bakeries, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues and supermarkets that need reliable, hygienic cleaning of oversized items. Its generously sized internal wash chamber measures 565mm wide x 600mm deep x 750mm high, making it straightforward to load baking trays, Gastronorm containers, bins, bowls, large pots and standard racked ware — placing it among the most versatile undercounter-style warewashers available.

Built around Washtech Hybrid Controls, which combine IP65-rated stainless steel switches with proven switchgear and a customisable electronic timer, the PW1C delivers straightforward, dependable operation. Its integrated heat recovery unit captures waste steam to warm the incoming cold water supply, cutting energy use, curbing steam output and lowering water treatment costs, and in many situations means a dedicated extraction canopy is not required. Manufactured in New Zealand from heavy-duty stainless steel and supported by the Moffat service network, the PW1C is purpose-built for Australian and New Zealand operating conditions.

Key Benefits

• Three selectable wash cycles of 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 minutes let operators match throughput and energy use to the demands of each service period.
• The integrated heat recovery unit reclaims waste steam to warm the incoming cold water supply, bringing down running costs while keeping heat and moisture out of the kitchen environment.
• An ultra-low water usage rate of just 2.6 litres per cycle keeps utility bills to a minimum without any compromise to wash quality.
• The large 565mm x 600mm x 750mm usable chamber can process as many as 10 baking or Gastronorm trays — each up to 40mm in depth — in a single cycle, removing the need for separate pot-washing sinks.
• The carefully counterbalanced, insulated split door provides easy, safe access to the wash chamber whilst minimising heat loss during loading and unloading.
• A built-in break tank and rinse pump enable the machine to operate with a low-temperature or low-pressure cold water inlet, delivering broad installation flexibility across a wide range of sites.
• Supplied complete and ready to operate with water supply hose, detergent and rinse aid pumps with injector lines, racks and accessories included, so commissioning on installation is not required.
• In a wide variety of kitchen configurations, the machine can be positioned without the need for an extraction canopy, reducing fit-out costs and expanding placement options within the layout.
• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction throughout, including wash and rinse arms equipped with precision-machined stainless steel nozzles and a two-stage filtration system, ensures a long service life in demanding environments.
