Sammic AX-50 500mm Undercounter Dishwasher 18 Plate

The Sammic AX-50 is a 500mm basket undercounter dishwasher designed for professional use in smaller commercial kitchen environments. It handles 18 plates per cycle and fits beneath a standard counter, making it a practical choice where floor space is limited but a reliable, consistent wash result is still needed throughout service.

In a café, bar, or compact restaurant kitchen, the AX-50 is built to handle continuous cycling across a service period without the inconsistency that causes backlogs at the wash station. The 500mm basket format accommodates standard crockery, glassware, and utensils comfortably, and the icon-based controls are straightforward enough for front-of-house or kitchen staff to operate with minimal training. The electronic control panel carries IP65 humidity protection — a practical consideration in any wash area where spray and steam are a constant presence.

For operators running this machine day to day, the practical advantages include:

• Icon-driven cycle selection reduces operator error during busy service periods
• Dedicated wash programmes adapt cycle duration to the type of load being processed
• IP65-rated control panel withstands the damp conditions typical of a wash-up area
• Undercounter format preserves counter and floor space in tight kitchen layouts
• Straightforward operation reduces reliance on experienced wash station staff

Installation requires a mains water connection and a drainage outlet, and plumbing access needs to be achievable within the cabinet depth. As with any undercounter machine installed within a run of cabinetry, it is worth considering ventilation to prevent heat build-up around the unit. It is also advisable to check local water hardness before installation — if a water softener is not already in place, this is worth addressing, as hard water directly affects wash quality and long-term maintenance.

The AX-50 is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, hotel bars, staff canteens, and similar operations running moderate covers where an undercounter machine is the right scale of solution. It is less suited to high-volume sites running continuous heavy covers across a long service — in those environments, a higher-capacity rack or passthrough machine is likely to be a more appropriate fit.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
