Adler AD40GL 400mm Basket 16 Pint Undercounter Glasswasher

The Adler AD40GL is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bar and café environments where space is limited and a reliable, straightforward machine is the priority. It operates on a standard 13-amp supply, which removes the need for dedicated electrical installation, and drains via gravity — keeping plumbing requirements simple. A built-in chemical dosing pump draws rinse aid and detergent directly from bottles, helping to ensure consistent wash results without manual dosing.

With a 120-second cycle time and a throughput of around 30 racks per hour, the AD40GL is well matched to quieter service periods and lower-volume operations rather than high-pressure, continuous bar service. It handles a standard 400mm basket, suitable for pint glasses, wine glasses, and similar stemware. The stainless steel interior and exterior are practical from a hygiene and durability standpoint and straightforward to wipe down between shifts.

In practical terms, this machine suits operations where glass volume is manageable and the emphasis is on a simple, dependable wash cycle rather than high-speed throughput. Key operational characteristics include:

• Runs from a standard 13-amp plug — no dedicated supply needed
• Gravity drain keeps installation requirements to a minimum
• Integrated chemical dosing pump for consistent detergent and rinse aid delivery
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
• Compact footprint suitable for fitting beneath a bar counter

Installation requires a cold water feed, a gravity drain outlet, and a standard 13-amp socket within reach. The gravity drain means the machine needs to be positioned so that waste water can flow freely — a pump drain model may be worth considering if your drainage point is not conveniently located. At this capacity level, it is best suited to small bars, café counters, hotel rooms, or back-of-house areas handling a modest daily glass count. For sites with heavier or more sustained throughput, a higher-capacity machine with a shorter cycle or pump drain is likely to be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the AD40GL matches your volume or your drainage situation, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
