Product Overview

The Washtech M2C is a heat condensing pass through dishwasher that needs no exhaust hood and connects to cold water. A condenser unit sits on top of the machine and captures the steam from each cycle, so nothing escapes into the room and no canopy is required. It washes up to 1080 plates an hour on 60, 120 or 180 second cycles, and fits the two most common Australian bench gaps at 595mm and 640mm.

Washtech is made in New Zealand and distributed in Australia by Moffat, and the M2C 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. Because it starts from cold water and brings it up to wash and rinse temperature, it runs on 415V three phase power, so an electrician makes the final connection. A single phase option is possible with modification by a technician.

Best for: hospitals, aged care, schools and government sites where SEED certification is required, or any kitchen that cannot fit an exhaust hood.

Does the M2C need an exhaust hood?

No. The condenser unit on top captures the steam from each cycle, so no exhaust hood is required in any install, and the room stays cooler for staff.

Why does the M2C run on cold water and three phase?

Most dishwashers connect to hot water. The M2C connects to cold water, which runs through the condenser to absorb the wash steam and preheat the incoming water. Because it starts from cold and has to reach wash and rinse temperature, it needs the extra heating capacity of 415V three phase power. A single phase option is possible with modification by a technician, though it increases recovery time between cycles.

What does SEED certification mean?

SEED stands for Sustainable by Engineering, Environment by Design. It means the M2C has been independently tested to comply with the Australian Standards listed in the National Construction Code 2016. For hospitals, aged care, schools and government sites where NCC compliance is a procurement requirement, SEED certification is the documentation you need.

What is the difference between the M2 and the M2C?

The M2C is an M2 with a SEED certified heat condensing unit added on top. That condenser lets it connect to cold water, handle all steam internally so no hood is needed, and it requires three phase power to bring the cold water up to temperature. If your site has hot water and does not need SEED certification, the standard M2 is the more cost effective choice.
