Is the C40D suitable for a high-volume bar or late-night venue?

The C40D is well suited to low-to-medium throughput environments such as pubs, small hotels, and cafés. For venues with near-continuous glass turnover during long or very busy services, a larger-basket undercounter or pass-through glasswasher is likely to be a better match for the pace of demand.

What does the drain pump mean in practical installation terms?

A standard undercounter glasswasher relies on gravity to drain, which means the waste outlet must be positioned lower than the machine's drain point. The drain pump in the C40D actively pumps waste water out, giving you more flexibility in where the machine can be sited — particularly useful in older buildings or bar fits where the floor drainage position is not ideal. A proper trap and waste connection is still required regardless.

What does EN17735 certification mean for our hygiene compliance?

EN17735 is a European standard that defines sanitisation performance requirements for commercial warewashers, including minimum wash temperatures and hygiene outcomes. A machine certified to this standard gives operators confidence that it meets recognised commercial foodservice hygiene benchmarks, which can be relevant for food safety documentation and due diligence purposes.

Product Description

The Maidaid C40D is a compact undercounter glasswasher built for commercial bar and hospitality environments where counter space is at a premium but hygiene standards cannot be compromised. It operates with a 390mm basket and sits neatly beneath a standard bar counter, making it a practical fit for pubs, small hotels, cafés, and similar venues that need reliable glass cleaning without dedicating significant floor space to the machine.

During a busy service, consistency matters as much as raw capacity. The C40D is designed to maintain wash quality across repeated cycles, with a triple filtration system that protects the pump and keeps wash arm performance stable over time. Nine wash cycle options allow staff to match the programme to different glassware types and soil levels, which helps maintain presentation standards across a varied drinks range.

From an operational standpoint, the C40D offers several practical advantages:

Single LED display keeps operation straightforward for bar staff of any experience level
Wash arms with inspection caps allow quick cleaning without tools during or after service
Drain pump removes reliance on gravity drainage, improving where the machine can be sited
Triple filtration protects pump components and supports consistent wash arm performance
EN17735 certified sanitisation supports compliance with foodservice hygiene requirements

Installation requires a dedicated electrical supply and a cold water feed. The drain pump adds useful flexibility in outlet positioning, which is particularly helpful in older bar builds or where floor drainage is not conveniently placed — though a proper trap and waste connection remains necessary. Steam management should be considered during service; adequate clearance and ventilation around the unit will help with this. The C40D is suited to low-to-medium throughput sites, and operators running a high-volume venue with near-continuous glass turnover should consider whether a larger-basket or pass-through machine would better match the pace of service.

If you are weighing up whether the C40D suits your site layout or expected service volume, the team is glad to talk it through with you.
