Halcyon AMH510 500mm Basket Undercounter Dishwasher With Drain Pump

The Halcyon AMH510 is a 500mm basket undercounter dishwasher built for commercial kitchen use. It sits beneath a standard worktop, accepts a 500mm wash basket, and includes an integrated drain pump — meaning it can drain against a head of water rather than relying solely on gravity, which gives more flexibility when positioning the machine within the kitchen.

In a working kitchen environment, a machine like this is typically relied upon to turn baskets around quickly during service. The AMH510 is designed to handle the pace of a busy café, pub kitchen, or small to mid-sized restaurant operation — moving plates, glasses, and utensils through at a consistent rate without the recovery delays that can disrupt service flow. The low water consumption per cycle helps keep operating costs down over the course of a day without any sacrifice to wash quality, and the EN17735 certification confirms it meets recognised commercial hygiene standards.

From an operational standpoint, the machine offers a number of practical advantages:

• Compact 500mm footprint suits kitchens where undercounter space is limited
• Integrated drain pump removes the need for a gravity-fall drain position
• Low water usage per cycle reduces utility costs in high-turnover operations
• Removable wash arms simplify routine cleaning and maintenance checks
• Soft-touch digital controls are straightforward for kitchen staff to operate

Installation requires a cold water inlet, a suitable drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply — the AMH510 is available in several power configurations to suit different kitchen electrical setups, so it is worth confirming which variant is correct for your existing supply before ordering. The machine will fit beneath a standard-height worktop, but you should verify the exact cutout dimensions and door clearance against your available space. It is not suitable for sites requiring a very high basket throughput per hour; for operations running continuous back-to-back covers, a larger hood or rack conveyor machine would be more appropriate.

The AMH510 is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, hotel breakfasts, and similar operations that need a reliable, space-efficient dishwasher without the footprint or cost of a larger machine. For lower-volume sites such as staff canteens or small coffee shops, a glasswasher or lighter-duty undercounter unit may be a more proportionate choice. For high-volume operations, a larger-capacity machine is worth considering.
