Halcyon AMH500 500mm Basket Glasswasher With Drain Pump

The Halcyon AMH500 is a 500mm basket undercounter glasswasher built for continuous commercial use. It sits beneath a standard bar or pass counter and is designed to turn glasses around quickly and consistently across a busy service. The defining practical feature is the fitted drain pump, which removes the dependency on gravity drainage and opens up installation positions that would otherwise be ruled out — a common issue in older bar builds, cellar bars, and venues where the waste run is awkward or runs against the fall.

In a working pub or bar environment, the AMH500 holds its own through the kind of sustained demand that builds across an evening service. It keeps pace without needing constant operator attention, and the soft-touch digital display is straightforward enough for staff at all experience levels — particularly useful in operations with high turnover or mixed training standards.

The machine is designed with daily operational life in mind. Removable wash arms with inspection caps allow staff to check for blockages without calling an engineer, and the quick-release tank makes end-of-day cleaning considerably less involved than on machines with fixed internal components.

• Drain pump fitted as standard — removes reliance on gravity drainage at the install point
• Quick-release tank simplifies daily cleaning and end-of-service maintenance
• Removable wash arms with inspection caps for straightforward blockage checks
• Soft-touch digital display suited to staff with varying levels of training
• Single and three-phase electrical supply options available

Installation is more straightforward than larger hood-type machines, but water supply and waste connections should still be planned carefully before fitting. The drain pump removes one of the more common siting constraints, though it is worth confirming which electrical supply option suits your site before ordering.

The AMH500 is well suited to pubs, hotel bars, mid-sized restaurants, and similar venues where glass throughput is high and undercounter space is at a premium. For very high-volume operations such as large nightclubs or event venues with demanding glass counts per hour, a higher-capacity machine may be worth considering. Equally, smaller or lower-volume venues may find a more compact model a better fit.
