Classeq C500WS Glasswasher with Integrated Water Softener 13A 3Ph

The Classeq C500WS is an undercounter glasswasher designed for busy commercial sites where throughput, reliability, and wash quality need to be consistent across long service periods. Built in the UK, it includes an integrated water softener as standard — a practical inclusion rather than an optional extra, particularly relevant for operations in medium to hard water areas where scale build-up is a known cause of performance decline and reduced machine lifespan.

In operational terms, the C500WS is a capable machine. It handles up to 40 racks per hour using a 500mm basket, which translates to a meaningful throughput for a busy bar or function venue. Two selectable wash cycles give staff a degree of control without adding complexity, and rinse booster pumps work alongside the detergent and rinse aid dosing system to deliver consistent results across back-to-back loads. Recovery between cycles is well suited to peak service conditions.

From a day-to-day management perspective, several practical details stand out:

• Click-in, click-out wash arms simplify end-of-day cleaning and reduce the time needed for routine maintenance
• The moulded interior limits noise and helps with energy efficiency during extended use
• Bluetooth connectivity links to a companion app, giving access to machine settings, usage data, and operator guides without needing specialist tools
• The integrated water softener removes the need for a separate softener installation in hard water areas
• Double-skinned construction contributes to quieter operation in open or customer-facing environments

This model is configured for 13A three-phase power. If your site runs single phase or a different power configuration, it is worth confirming your supply before ordering, as the C500WS is available in alternative electrical configurations. The machine requires a standard undercounter installation with appropriate drainage and water connections in place. At 600mm wide and 600mm deep, it fits a standard undercounter slot, though access for servicing should be factored into placement decisions.

The C500WS is well suited to pubs, bars, hotels, and event venues running continuous glass service where throughput and wash consistency matter. The integrated softener makes it a particularly practical choice for sites in areas with harder water supplies. For very high-volume operations — large-scale events or venues cycling several hundred covers — a higher-capacity pass-through or rack conveyor machine may be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether the C500WS is the right fit for your site's water supply, power configuration, or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
