Buffalo Dishwashers and Glasswashers

The Buffalo Commercial Glass Polisher is a countertop unit designed to dry and polish glassware to a streak-free, professional finish quickly and consistently. Using fan-blown warm air in combination with five rotating polishing brushes, it works on the inside and outside of the glass simultaneously, handling most standard shapes and sizes used in commercial bar and hospitality environments.

In a busy bar or restaurant setting, hand-polishing glassware is time-consuming and, done poorly, leaves smears and watermarks that affect the presentation of drinks. This unit removes that bottleneck by automating the process, allowing staff to cycle through glassware at pace during pre-service preparation or during service itself. The result is consistently polished glasses without the reliance on individual technique or cloth quality.

Practically, the operational benefits are straightforward:

• Reduces the time and labour involved in polishing large volumes of glassware before service
• Delivers a consistent finish that hand-polishing rarely achieves at speed
• Works on most standard bar and wine glass profiles, including stemmed glasses
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to keep clean
• Compact enough to sit on a back-bar counter or prep surface without significant footprint

Installation is uncomplicated — the unit is mains-powered and requires no water connection or drainage. It needs a standard power supply and a stable, level surface. Weight at just over 15kg means it stays put during use but remains moveable when needed. There are no specialist installation requirements, making it practical for most sites.

This polisher is well suited to bars, restaurants, hotels, and event venues where glassware presentation matters and volumes are high enough to justify moving away from manual polishing. For very high-throughput operations running continuous service across multiple areas, it is worth considering whether a single unit meets the volume demand or whether more than one would be needed.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volume or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

This Buffalo undercounter glasswasher is a compact, self-contained warewashing unit designed for bars, cafés, and smaller food service operations where counter space is limited but throughput still matters. It accepts 500x500mm baskets and includes a built-in drain pump, which means it can be installed away from a floor drain — a practical advantage in older or awkwardly laid-out back bars where gravity drainage isn't always an option.

In service, the machine is capable of washing up to 25 racks per hour, which is a comfortable output for a busy bar or café running a single glasswasher. It won't replace a full-sized pass-through or hood-type machine in a high-volume venue, but for a site turning over moderate glass and cup volumes through a service shift, it handles the demand without becoming a bottleneck. The built-in chemical dosing pumps manage detergent and rinse aid automatically, removing the need for manual dosing and helping ensure consistent wash quality.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Built-in drain pump allows flexible positioning away from floor drains
• Automatic chemical dosing reduces guesswork and chemical waste
• Undercounter footprint keeps the bar or prep area clear
• Stainless steel construction stands up to the demands of daily commercial use
• 25 racks per hour output suits steady, moderate service volumes

Installation requires a water supply, drainage connection, and an appropriate electrical supply — confirm your local requirements and existing pipework before ordering. At 70kg, the unit will need two people to position safely. The undercounter format suits venues with standard counter heights, but measure your available cavity carefully against the unit's dimensions before committing.

This glasswasher is well suited to small bars, café counters, hotel breakfast rooms, and similar settings where volume is moderate and under-counter installation is a practical necessity. For higher-volume venues — busy pub bars, event catering, or operations running multiple sittings — a larger or higher-throughput machine would be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this model matches your site's layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you place an order.

The Buffalo countertop glasswasher is a compact, single-phase warewasher designed for operations where space is limited but a reliable wash cycle is still essential. It takes a 350x350mm basket and operates on a gravity drain system, which means it can sit directly on a countertop without requiring a pumped drain connection — a practical advantage in bar installations and smaller kitchens where below-counter drain access is restricted.

With a throughput of up to 25 racks per hour, this machine is well suited to low-to-medium volume service. It handles steady glass turnover through a busy shift without difficulty, though it is worth being realistic about its ceiling — in high-volume venues running continuous service, it will reach capacity. For those environments, a higher-capacity undercounter or pass-through model would be a more appropriate choice.

Built-in chemical dosing pumps for both detergent and rinse aid are included as standard, removing the need for separate external dosing equipment and simplifying day-to-day operation. The 304 stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to keep clean, which matters in any environment subject to daily chemical exposure and steam.

• Gravity drain installation — no pumped drain required for countertop use
• Built-in detergent and rinse aid dosing pumps included
• Compact footprint suits bar counters and smaller back-of-house setups
• 304 stainless steel construction withstands daily chemical and steam exposure
• Straightforward to operate, reducing training time for new staff

Installation is relatively straightforward — a cold water inlet, a single-phase electrical supply, and a gravity drain outlet are the key requirements. At 28kg, it is manageable for countertop positioning, though it is worth confirming your counter can support the weight when the machine is loaded and in operation.

This glasswasher is a practical fit for small bars, cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and similar venues where glass volumes are moderate and counter space is at a premium. If you are unsure whether the throughput matches your service pattern, or have questions about installation in your specific setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo Digital Pass-Through Dishwasher is a three-phase commercial warewasher designed for kitchens that need to process large volumes of crockery, cookware, glassware, and cutlery consistently throughout service. It operates on a pass-through configuration, meaning racks are loaded from one side and retrieved from the other — a practical layout for linear kitchen workflows where space and throughput both matter.

In a busy service environment, the ability to turn around clean crockery quickly is often a limiting factor. This machine supports up to 69 cycles per hour on its fastest programme, which provides meaningful capacity during peak periods. Five selectable wash programmes give operators the flexibility to match the cycle to the load — a shorter cycle for lightly soiled glassware, a more intensive programme for pans or items with burnt-on residue. Built-in detergent and rinse-aid pumps are part of the standard setup, avoiding the need for separate dosing equipment.

From an operational standpoint, key practical advantages include:

• High cycle rate supports consistent throughput during busy service periods
• Five programmes give flexibility across different load types and soil levels
• Integrated detergent and rinse-aid pumps simplify chemical dosing
• 500mm baskets accommodate large plates, pans, and bulkier items
• Stainless steel construction and a wipe-clean digital panel keep cleaning straightforward

This is a three-phase machine, so a suitable three-phase electrical supply must be confirmed before purchase. Installation will typically require connection to a mains water supply and an adequate drainage point. If the machine is to be used in a medium to hard water area, a compatible water softener should be factored into the installation — without one, scale build-up can affect wash quality and machine longevity over time. At 120kg, adequate access and floor loading should be considered when positioning the unit.

This dishwasher is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel kitchens, staff canteens, and contract catering operations running consistent service volumes. It sits in the mid-range of commercial pass-through machines — sites with very high sustained throughput or multiple sittings in quick succession may benefit from reviewing higher-capacity options, while smaller operations with lighter demand might find a hood-type or undercounter machine more proportionate.

If you're unsure whether this machine is the right fit for your kitchen's layout, service volume, or water supply, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo Digital Pass-Through Dishwasher is a 500mm basket, single-phase machine designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable, high-volume warewashing without the wiring demands of a three-phase supply. It handles crockery, cookware, glassware, utensils and cutlery, with five selectable wash programmes that allow operators to match cycle intensity to the load — a shorter cycle for lightly soiled service plates during a busy lunch run, or a more intensive programme for heavily soiled pans and trays at the end of service.

In practice, the machine is capable of running up to 69 cycles per hour on its fastest setting, which gives kitchens meaningful throughput during peak demand. The built-in detergent dispenser and rinse booster pumps are included as standard, helping to deliver consistent results even with stubborn, burnt-on food residue. The pass-through format suits kitchens where a clear workflow between dirty and clean sides is important — ware goes in one end, comes out the other, and service keeps moving.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:

• Five wash programmes provide flexibility across different load types and soil levels
• Up to 69 cycles per hour supports fast turnaround during busy service periods
• Integrated detergent and rinse booster pumps reduce manual intervention
• 500mm baskets accommodate larger items including gastronorm trays and pans
• Digital control panel is straightforward to operate and easy to wipe clean

On the installation side, this machine runs on a 6.6kW single-phase supply, which makes it accessible for sites where three-phase power is not available — though a 30A circuit is required and your electrical supply should be confirmed before ordering. Stainless steel construction throughout keeps cleaning straightforward and stands up well to the demands of a working kitchen. At 120kg, positioning and access for delivery should be planned ahead of installation. If your site is in a medium to hard water area, a water softener is advisable to protect the machine and maintain wash quality over time — this is sold separately and worth factoring into your setup costs.

This machine is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, hotel restaurants and contract catering operations running moderate to high volumes of covers. It is a practical choice where a single-phase connection is the limiting factor but throughput requirements remain demanding. For very high-volume sites — large event venues or central production kitchens running extended service periods — a heavier-duty model with a three-phase supply may be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether this machine matches your service volume or water supply conditions, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.

The Buffalo undercounter dishwasher is a compact, pass-through style machine built for professional kitchens where space is limited but reliable dishwashing throughput is still a daily requirement. It accepts standard 500mm baskets and comes supplied with two baskets and a cutlery holder, giving immediate capacity for plates, bowls, glasses, and most everyday service items. Integrated detergent and rinse aid dosing pumps handle chemical management automatically, removing the need for operator intervention on each cycle.

In a working kitchen environment, this machine performs consistently through moderate service periods. The 120-second cycle keeps throughput moving at a pace that suits cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and staff canteens running a steady volume of covers. The controls are deliberately straightforward — load, start — which means front-of-house staff can operate it without training, and the risk of errors during a busy service is low. Stainless steel construction stands up to the daily demands of a commercial environment and cleans down quickly at end of service.

Practical advantages worth noting:

• Built-in drain pump allows flexible positioning without relying on gravity drainage
• Integrated dosing pumps reduce operator involvement and limit chemical waste
• 500mm basket capacity handles a wide range of standard crockery and glassware
• Supplied with two baskets and a cutlery holder ready for immediate use
• Simple controls reduce the risk of operator error during busy periods

On the installation side, the machine requires a mains water supply, a drainage point, and an appropriate electrical connection. The built-in drain pump removes the requirement to position the unit directly above a floor drain, which gives useful flexibility in tighter kitchen layouts. One consideration that should not be overlooked: in medium or hard water areas, an external water softener is required before installation. Running the machine without one in hard water conditions will cause limescale accumulation that affects both wash performance and the working life of the unit.

This dishwasher is well suited to smaller commercial operations and secondary wash stations within larger kitchens. It is not designed for high-volume sites turning over large numbers of covers in rapid succession — those environments will benefit from a higher-capacity or higher-output machine. If your operation regularly handles large pots, trays, or full-size gastronorm containers, it is worth discussing your wash requirements before committing to this size of machine.

If you have questions about whether this machine is the right fit for your service volume, or you need guidance on water treatment requirements for your area, the team is glad to help you work through it before you order.
