BLAST WASH Underbench Glasswasher – AT40U

The Blastwash AT40U is a commercial underbench glasswasher built for bars, cafés, and restaurants that need fast, reliable glassware turnaround in a tight footprint. Designed in Australia and made in Italy, the AT40U pairs a rapid-cycle wash system with a heavy-duty stainless steel build, ready for the volumes a busy front-of-house demands — from delicate wine glasses to sturdy beer mugs.

Why operators choose the AT40U

• Rapid wash cycles — 4 selectable cycles plus a self-cleaning cycle keep service flowing
• 14″ × 17″ rack — fits 25+ standard wine glasses or 16 × 14″ pint glasses per cycle
• Tallest washable glass: 32 cm — clears most highball, pilsner, and wine glass formats
• Built-in detergent + rinse aid dispensers — automated dosing reduces operator handling
• Thermostop sanitisation — 80–85 °C rinse meets commercial hygiene standards

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suited to bars, cocktail venues, sports clubs, cafés with high glassware turnover, and restaurants needing a dedicated glass-only wash station alongside a separate dishwasher. The 8 L tank and 1.5 L rinse make it efficient for sites running back-to-back service without water pressure issues.

Installation notes

The AT40U requires a 15 A single-phase outlet (not standard 10 A) and a 3/4″ water connection. The drain pump allows the waste line to be routed flexibly under the bench, simplifying retrofit installations where the original drain is awkwardly placed. A licensed electrician and plumber should confirm install requirements for your venue.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the AT40U fit under a standard bar counter? A: Yes — the unit is 815 mm tall, 438 mm wide, and 535 mm deep, which fits under most commercial bar counters (standard counter height is 900–950 mm). Allow 50 mm clearance behind for water and drain connections.

Q: What size glasses can it wash? A: The AT40U handles glasses up to 320 mm (32 cm) tall — covering pilsner, highball, wine, and most standard cocktail glasses. The 14″ × 17″ rack typically holds 25+ wine glasses or 16 × 14″ pint glasses per cycle.

Q: Does it run on standard Australian power? A: It needs a 15 A single-phase circuit (not a standard 10 A wall socket). Total draw is 3.6 kW. A licensed electrician can install or confirm a 15 A outlet — most commercial venues will already have one.

Q: How does the drain pump help installation? A: The integrated drain pump pushes wastewater out actively, so the drain line can be routed up and over to a sink or floor drain — useful when the original drain location isn't directly under the unit. Standard gravity-drain glasswashers can't do this.

Q: What's the warranty and after-sales support? A: 24 months full warranty from delivery. The AT40U is Italian-built (Blastwash brand), and parts are stocked locally for fast turnaround on warranty claims through our Granville NSW showroom.

Q: Is this suitable as my main dishwasher, or just glasses? A: It's optimised for glassware — fast cycles and a smaller wash tank. For plates, cookware, and high-volume mixed dishware, pair it with a dedicated underbench dishwasher (we stock several). Many of our bar customers run an AT40U for glasses and a separate dishwasher for plates.
