Halcyon Glasswashers

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.

If you want to talk through whether the AMH500 suits your service volumes, or want to confirm your installation position works before you order, the team is happy to go through it with you.

The Halcyon AMH350 is a compact undercounter glasswasher built around a 350mm square basket format. It sits beneath a bar counter or pass and is designed to turn glassware around consistently throughout a service without occupying floor space or requiring a dedicated plant room. The built-in drain pump is the defining practical feature of this model — it removes the dependency on a gravity fall to the drain, giving operators considerably more flexibility when it comes to siting the machine.

In a working bar or café, the AMH350 handles the steady rhythm of a moderate service well. Short cycle times keep clean glasses cycling back to the shelf during busy periods, and the filtration system is designed to maintain wash quality as the tank ages through a session — helping to avoid the cloudy or smeared results that can emerge when a machine is pushed hard without adequate filtration support.

A few features are worth noting for day-to-day operation:

• Removable wash arms with inspection caps for straightforward routine cleaning
• Quick-access tank design to reduce downtime during and after service
• Soft-touch digital display for consistent operation by bar staff
• EN17735 hygiene certification, relevant where compliance records are required
• Drain pump included as standard, extending siting options beyond gravity-drain locations

Installation requires a cold water inlet, a drain connection, and a 13-amp single-phase supply. The drain pump broadens where the machine can be positioned, but it still needs to be within practical reach of water and electrical services. It is worth confirming that your most commonly used glassware — particularly taller stemware or pint glasses — clears the interior basket height comfortably before ordering.

The AMH350 is well suited to bars, cafés, small restaurants, and hospitality venues with a moderate, steady flow of glassware through service. It is not designed for high-volume continuous operation across multiple long services — in those settings, a larger-basket or higher-throughput machine would be a more reliable choice. At the other end, very low-volume sites may find a simpler model represents better value.

The Halcyon AMH510 is a 500mm undercounter glasswasher aimed at commercial bars, restaurants, and hospitality operations that need reliable, consistent glass cleaning through a busy service. It sits in the standard undercounter footprint familiar to most bar and back-of-house installations, and includes an integrated drain pump — a practical inclusion that removes dependence on a gravity drain and gives more flexibility when positioning the machine.

In service, the AMH510 is well suited to steady, high-turnover use. The wash cycle is designed to turn glassware around quickly without compromising hygiene standards, and the machine holds EN17735 certification — the current European standard for commercial glass and dishwashing hygiene. For venues moving volume during peak hours, consistent cycle performance and reliable rinse temperatures matter more than headline specifications, and this machine is built around that kind of sustained use.

From an operational standpoint, the AMH510 offers several practical advantages worth noting:

• Low water consumption per cycle helps keep running costs manageable over a full service
• Soft-touch digital controls are straightforward for any member of staff to operate
• Wash arms are removable for inspection and cleaning without tools
• The removable tank simplifies routine maintenance and end-of-day cleaning
• Multiple power configurations are available to suit different electrical supplies

Installation requires a cold water feed, drainage connection, and an electrical supply matched to the chosen power variant. The drain pump means the machine is not limited to gravity-drain positions, which is useful in bar builds where the drainage run is not always ideal. It is worth confirming the electrical supply available on site before ordering, as the power options vary meaningfully in their circuit requirements.

The AMH510 is a practical choice for pubs, bars, hotel bars, and smaller restaurant operations running a consistent volume of glassware through service. It is less suited to very high-volume operations — large events venues or sites running multiple bar stations simultaneously may find a higher-capacity machine a better fit for the throughput required.

The Halcyon AMH450 is a 450mm basket undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. It fits beneath a standard counter and is built primarily for glass washing, though it will handle small dishware when needed. The inclusion of a drain pump is a meaningful practical distinction — it removes the dependency on a floor drain positioned directly beneath the unit, giving greater flexibility in where the machine can be sited within a bar or servery.

In a working bar environment, glass turnaround is what keeps service moving. The AMH450 is designed to cycle glasses quickly enough to sustain continuous service without staff waiting on the machine between rounds. The filtration system helps maintain wash quality across repeated loads through a session, reducing the risk of water quality degrading as the evening progresses — a common problem with machines that lack adequate filtration in high-turnover situations.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Soft-touch digital controls that staff can operate without significant training
• Removable wash arms with inspection caps for quick blockage clearance without tools
• Quick-release tank design that reduces end-of-service cleaning time
• Drain pump allowing more flexible waste routing than gravity-drain alternatives
• EN17735 certification confirming the machine meets recognised commercial hygiene standards

Installation requires a cold water supply, a waste outlet, and a standard power connection. The 13-amp supply requirement means no dedicated high-amperage circuit is needed in most UK bar installations, which simplifies fitting into existing counters. That said, confirming supply suitability with a qualified electrician before installation is always sensible. In refurbishment projects, access beneath the counter and proximity to services are worth assessing carefully before the unit is specified.

The AMH450 is well suited to small to mid-sized operations — pub bars, hotel bars, café-restaurants, and similar venues turning over a steady volume of glasses through a service. Operators running significantly higher glass volumes, such as large event venues or high-throughput hotel operations, may find a larger-basket or higher-cycle-rate machine is a more appropriate fit. At the other end, very low-volume sites might find a smaller unit more proportionate for their needs.

The Halcyon AMH400 is a compact undercounter glasswasher built around a 390mm basket footprint. It is designed to sit beneath a bar counter and handle a steady, consistent flow of glassware through a service shift without demanding the footprint or electrical supply of a larger machine. The built-in drain pump distinguishes it from basic gravity-drain alternatives, allowing the unit to discharge to a drainage point that is not directly beneath the machine — a practical consideration in many bar counter installations where drain positioning is fixed and not conveniently located.

In a working bar environment the AMH400 performs reliably across continuous service. It is well suited to pub bars, hotel bars, café-bars, and restaurant service stations where glassware turns over steadily throughout a shift. The wash system incorporates a high-density filter arrangement that helps maintain clean wash water across consecutive cycles, reducing the risk of soil being redistributed onto glassware during busy periods.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the machine offers several practical advantages:

• Soft-touch digital controls that bar staff can operate without significant training overhead
• Removable wash arms with inspection caps for quick cleaning checks without tools
• Quick-release tank design that simplifies end-of-shift cleaning routines
• Low water consumption per cycle, helping manage running costs across a full service week
• EN17735 certification confirming compliance with recognised commercial hygiene standards for glassware

Installation is straightforward for this class of machine. It runs on a standard 13-amp supply, making it compatible with most bar counter setups without requiring a dedicated circuit. The drain pump does require a planned discharge route to be identified before installation, though this does not need to be a floor drain immediately beneath the unit. If you are in a hard water area, water softening is worth considering — glass clarity and the long-term condition of the machine both benefit noticeably from treated water.

The AMH400 is a sensible choice for small to mid-sized licensed premises, hotel bars, café-bars, and restaurant service counters handling a consistent but moderate volume of glassware. It is not intended for high-volume nightclub or event bar environments where cycles need to run almost without interruption — a higher-capacity machine would serve those sites better. Equally, if your installation has a straightforward gravity drain, it is worth considering whether a model without a pump meets your needs at a lower cost.

The Halcyon AMH550WS is a 500mm basket undercounter glasswasher with an integrated drain pump and internal water softener built into a single compact unit. It is designed for commercial bar and restaurant use where counter space is limited but throughput and consistent wash quality are not optional.

In a busy bar or hospitality environment, a glasswasher earns its place by keeping pace with service. The AMH550WS is well suited to moderate-to-high volume operations — the kind of venue turning over glasses steadily through an evening service rather than intermittently. The high-density filter system supports clean, clear results across consecutive cycles, and the EN17735 certification provides confidence in the hygiene standards being met.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages worth noting:

• The internal water softener removes the need for a separate softener unit or salt-dosing system, simplifying installation in hard water areas.
• The integrated drain pump means the machine is not dependent on a gravity drain, giving more flexibility in where it can be positioned.
• Removable wash arms with inspection caps make routine cleaning straightforward without requiring tools or specialist knowledge.
• The quick-release tank system allows the wash tank to be accessed and cleaned quickly between services.
• Soft-touch digital controls keep operation simple for bar staff without extensive training.

On installation, this is an undercounter machine requiring a cold water supply, electrical connection, and a drain outlet. The built-in drain pump provides some flexibility on drain positioning, though you should confirm the connection requirements with your installer before purchase. The internal softener needs salt replenishment periodically — the frequency will depend on local water hardness and usage volume.

The AMH550WS is best suited to bars, hotel bars, function venues, and smaller restaurants where glasswashing is the primary task and the footprint beneath the counter is at a premium. If your operation runs a significantly higher volume of covers or requires continuous glasswashing through extended service periods, a higher-capacity machine may be the more reliable long-term choice.
