Washtech's heat recovery passthrough dishwashers solve one of the most expensive problems in a commercial kitchen fit-out: mechanical ventilation. If your council requires extraction over a passthrough dishwasher, that alone can add thousands of dollars to an install. Washtech's M1C, M2C and ALC are built to change that.
Why Ventilation Costs Add Up
A standard passthrough dishwasher vents hot steam with every cycle, and most councils require mechanical extraction to manage it. Ductwork, canopy hoods and extraction fans are rarely cheap, and in an older building or a tight fit-out, running that ductwork can be the single most expensive line item in the install.
How the Condenser Changes That
The M1C, M2C and ALC are fitted with a steam condensing unit, so the steam that would normally vent straight into the kitchen is instead recovered and used to preheat the machine's incoming cold water. That does two things at once: it cuts the steam emitted into the room, often removing the need for costly mechanical ventilation depending on your local council's requirements, and it reduces the energy needed to heat the wash water in the first place, since it's arriving preheated.
Self-cleaning jets sit above the condenser to keep it performing over years of daily use, and because the unit encloses the source of the steam directly, less air needs to be extracted overall compared to an open hood.
Independently Certified, Not Just Claimed
All three models are independently tested and verified against the relevant Australian Standards in the National Construction Code. That matters at the approval stage of a new fit-out: when you submit plans to your local council, having independently verified compliance on file makes for a much smoother approval process than asking an inspector to take a manufacturer's word for it.
Water and Energy Numbers That Add Up
The M2C washes up to 1,080 plates an hour on just 2.4 litres of cold water per cycle, making it one of the most water-efficient passthrough dishwashers on the market. Every model in the range also runs EcoPower mode, which drops temperature and energy use automatically whenever the machine sits idle between services.
Built to Stay Clean
The ALC takes this further with enhanced filtration and active waste removal, so there's no need to put a hand into the machine to clear debris between cycles. A self-cleaning cycle handles the rest.
Backed After the Sale
