Product Description
The Sammic GP-40 is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for bar and hospitality environments where reliable glass turnover is a daily operational requirement. It takes a 400mm basket, accommodating up to 16 pint glasses per cycle, and fits beneath a standard counter run without requiring a dedicated equipment bay.
In practice, the GP-40 is built for consistent, repeated use throughout a service. The machine washes from both above and below, which matters when you need glasses returned to the bar clean and ready quickly. The thermal lock function ensures the rinse stage reaches the temperature required for proper disinfection in line with DIN 10534 — a standard that carries weight in environments subject to environmental health inspection. Operators can trust that the machine is doing its job, not just going through the motions.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GP-40 is straightforward to run and maintain:
- Icon-based cycle selection keeps operation simple for all staff levels
- Filters and wash arm diffusers remove without tools for quick end-of-shift cleaning
- Rounded interior finishes prevent soil build-up and simplify manual wiping
- The double-walled door and quality door seal keep noise levels manageable in front-of-house settings
- The IP65-rated control panel is protected against the moisture and splashing typical in bar environments
Installation requires a cold water supply, a drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply. As an undercounter unit, it will need to sit level within a counter run with adequate clearance for the door to open fully. For sites with limited drainage options, it is worth confirming whether gravity drain or a drain pump configuration is more appropriate for your setup before ordering.
The GP-40 is well suited to pubs, hotel bars, café-bars, and smaller restaurant operations where glass volume is moderate and undercounter space is limited. It is not designed for high-throughput venues running continuous service across multiple bar stations — for those environments, a larger-capacity machine with a wider basket or higher cycle rate would be a more appropriate fit.
If you are unsure whether the GP-40 matches your service volume or installation arrangement, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GP-40 handles up to 16 pint glasses per cycle, making it a practical choice for moderate-volume bars where glass demand is steady rather than relentless. For a high-throughput pub running multiple busy sessions back-to-back with a large glassware inventory, a higher-capacity machine with faster cycle times and a wider basket may serve you better — it is worth discussing your typical cover numbers and glass stock before deciding.
- As with most glasswashers, water quality directly affects wash results and machine longevity. In hard water areas, scale build-up on glasses and internal components is a genuine operational issue, and using the machine without some form of water treatment is likely to cause problems over time. We would generally recommend a rinse-aid dosing system at a minimum, and a water softener or inline scale inhibitor in harder water regions.
- The GP-40 is available with either gravity drain or a built-in drain pump, which is reflected in the product tags for this listing. Gravity drain is straightforward where your drain point sits below the machine outlet, while the pump option is useful when the drain connection is at a similar height or the run is longer than a direct gravity fall allows. If you are unsure which suits your installation, it is worth checking your drain position relative to the machine before ordering.
