Hobart Twin Pass Through Utensil Washer UXTH-10A

The Hobart UXTH-10A is a twin-chamber pass through utensil washer designed to handle the heaviest items in a commercial kitchen — pots, pans, cast iron cookware, baking tins, gastronorm trays, oven racks, and similar bulky ware that conventional rack dishwashers simply cannot accommodate. As a pass through configuration, soiled items enter one side and exit the other, keeping dirty and clean workflows separated and maintaining a more hygienic, organised pot wash area.

The twin design is the defining characteristic of this model. Rather than processing a single load at a time, the double-chamber configuration allows two racks to be processed per cycle, which has a meaningful impact on throughput during busy service periods. In kitchens generating high volumes of cookware — busy restaurants, contract caterers, production kitchens, or large staff dining operations — the ability to keep pace with the rate at which pots and trays come back from the line is critical. The UXTH-10A is built for precisely that kind of sustained, repetitive demand, and its stainless steel construction is robust enough for the punishment a working pot wash area delivers.

From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits include:

• Consistent wash results across heavy cookware, baking tins, and oven trays in a single cycle
• Pass through layout supports clean separation of dirty and clean ware flows
• Double-chamber throughput reduces bottlenecks in high-output kitchen environments
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
• Supplied with base rack, tray support, and one open basket as standard

At 315kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will require a dedicated installation. The footprint and weight mean it needs to be positioned and plumbed in as part of a considered pot wash area layout — this is not a machine that can be easily repositioned once installed. Water supply, drainage, and adequate electrical connections will all need to be in place, and we would strongly recommend confirming the floor loading capacity of the installation area given the machine's weight. Ventilation and steam extraction should also be factored into the planning, particularly in enclosed pot wash spaces.

The UXTH-10A is best suited to high-volume sites where a single-chamber utensil washer would create a throughput bottleneck — larger restaurants, catering operations running multiple sittings, central production kitchens, and contract catering facilities are typical environments where this machine earns its keep. For smaller operations with more moderate cookware volumes, a single-chamber utensil washer may represent a more proportionate investment. Equally, very high-volume sites with continuous demand across long service periods may want to consider whether additional capacity is warranted.
