Product Overview

The Washtech ALC is a high capacity passthrough dishwasher with an integrated heat recovery unit, so no exhaust canopy is required. It recycles the steam energy to preheat incoming water, which cuts running costs and removes the need for a hood, subject to adequate general ventilation. It washes up to 1584 plates an hour on 50, 70 and 100 second cycles, and takes 600 x 500mm racks holding GN pans or up to 22 plates.

Washtech is made in New Zealand and distributed in Australia by Moffat, and the ALC carries the Washtech 5-2-2 promise: 5 years on the cabinet, 2 years on the wash pump and 2 years comprehensive parts and labour. The machine runs on 415V three phase power, so an electrician makes the final connection. The water and chemical hoses are supplied in the plumbing connection kit.

Best for: busy restaurants where an exhaust canopy is difficult or expensive to install.

Does the ALC need an exhaust canopy?

No. The ALC has an integrated heat recovery unit that captures the steam on the machine, so no canopy is required.

Does it need an electrician and a plumber?

An electrician will be required. The ALC runs on 415V three phase power at 15A per phase, so it is hardwired rather than plugged in, and a nearby isolating switch is recommended. The water side is simpler, since the water and chemical hoses come in the supplied plumbing connection kit, and the drain hose just needs connecting to a spigot near by, so it is plug and play.

What racks come with it?

The ALC includes a 600mm GN tray rack, a 500mm dish rack, a 500mm cup rack and a cutlery container, plus the plumbing connection kit. It takes standard 600 x 500mm racks, so it holds GN pans or up to 22 plates per rack.

How fast is it?

It runs 50, 70 and 100 second cycles and washes up to 1584 plates an hour at the fastest cycle, which makes it suited to high volume passthrough washing rather than light duty.

What clearance does it need?

Allow 300mm at the front for service access. For corner installs, the machine should sit so racks push into the back, and any splashback return should be no higher than 150mm. The touchscreen bracket lets you mount the controls on either side, under bench or on the wall.
