Maidaid C45D 450mm Basket Undercounter Glasswasher with Drain Pump

The Maidaid C45D is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bar and hospitality environments where space is limited but throughput and hygiene standards cannot be compromised. It operates with a 450mm basket, making it a practical fit beneath most standard bar counters, and includes a built-in drain pump — a useful feature where the drain point is not positioned at floor level or where gravity drainage is not practical.

In a busy bar or small restaurant setting, the C45D handles the steady demand of a typical service without significant downtime between cycles. The triple filtration system helps protect the pump and wash arms from glassware debris, which in practice reduces the frequency of maintenance calls and keeps the machine running consistently across a long shift. The double-skin construction aids heat retention, which supports stable wash performance even as demand continues through a busy evening service.

From an operational standpoint, the C45D offers a number of practical advantages for day-to-day use:

• Multiple wash cycle options allow the machine to be adapted for glassware, crockery, or bottle washing as required
• EN17735-certified sanitisation provides the hygiene assurance needed for licensed premises and food service environments
• LED digital display gives clear cycle feedback without unnecessary complexity
• Inspection-cap wash arms simplify routine cleaning and reduce the time staff spend on daily maintenance
• Drain pump included as standard, removing the need for a gravity-fed drainage position

Installation is straightforward for a competent engineer. The machine runs on a standard 13-amp supply, which means most bar and pub installations will not require additional electrical infrastructure. A softened water supply is advisable in hard water areas to protect the machine and maintain wash quality over time. Clearance above the unit should be checked before installation to ensure the lid opens fully in situ.

The C45D is well suited to bars, pubs, small hotels, and café operations with a moderate throughput of glassware. It is not intended for high-volume restaurant or banqueting environments where a larger basket or pass-through machine would be more appropriate. For sites expecting significantly higher glass volumes per service, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
