Hobart Premax Pass-Through Dishwasher AUPW-10B

The Hobart Premax AUPW-10B is a commercial pass-through dishwasher built for busy professional kitchens where throughput, hygiene, and running costs all matter. It operates on the familiar rack-to-rack pass-through principle, allowing crockery, cutlery, glassware, and utensils to enter one side and exit the other — keeping the wash cycle moving continuously during service.

In practice, one of the most time-consuming tasks in any busy kitchen is pre-rinsing before loading. The AUPW-10B addresses this directly through Hobart's Permanent-Clean system, which handles automatic soil removal as part of the wash cycle. This reduces preparation time at the machine, cuts water consumption, and keeps the wash programme consistently effective without operator intervention. For kitchens running a high turnover of covers, the time saved across a full service can be meaningful.

The machine offers both Intensive and Eco wash modes, which gives kitchen managers a practical degree of control over running costs. Day-to-day washing of lightly soiled items can run on the Eco programme, while the Intensive mode is available when heavier soiling — particularly stubborn cutlery tarnish or baked-on residue — requires a more demanding cycle.

• Permanent-Clean soil removal eliminates the need for manual pre-rinsing
• Intensive and Eco modes give operators control over energy and water use
• Pass-through configuration supports continuous throughput during service
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and hygiene compliance
• Designed to handle the volume demands of a professional kitchen environment

Installation will require consideration of water inlet and drain connections, as well as electrical supply — it is worth confirming your site's supply specification matches the machine's requirements before ordering. At 135kg, positioning and access will also need planning, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts. The footprint is worth checking against your available run of counter or pass-through space.

The AUPW-10B is well suited to restaurants, hotels, staff canteens, and contract catering operations running a consistent volume of covers. For smaller operations with lighter demand, a hood-type or undercounter machine may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume sites — large banqueting operations or central production kitchens, for example — it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity pass-through or flight machine would be a better fit.

If you're unsure whether this model suits your service volume or your site's installation setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
