Hobart Premax Pass-Through Dishwasher with Integral Softener AUPSW-10B

The Hobart Premax AUPSW-10B is a pass-through dishwasher designed for professional kitchens that need consistent, reliable warewashing throughput during demanding service periods. Built entirely in stainless steel, it sits within Hobart's Premax range and includes an integral water softener, making it suitable for installation in medium to hard water areas without requiring a separate softener unit.

A key feature of the Premax is the Permanent-Clean automatic soil removal system. In practical terms, this means racks can be loaded without pre-rinsing — the machine handles soil removal as part of its wash cycle. In a busy kitchen, eliminating the pre-rinse step reduces both water consumption and the time kitchen porters spend at the sink before items even reach the machine. Over the course of a full service, this adds up to a meaningful saving in labour and utility costs.

The AUPSW-10B offers two wash modes: Eco for lighter loads and standard soiling, and Intensive for heavily soiled items such as baked-on crockery or greasy utensils. This flexibility allows operators to manage running costs without sacrificing cleaning performance when the situation demands more.

• Integral water softener removes the need for a separate external unit
• Permanent-Clean soil removal eliminates pre-rinsing at the sink
• Eco and Intensive modes allow operators to balance running costs with wash performance
• Stainless steel construction throughout, suited to commercial hygiene requirements
• Pass-through configuration supports continuous rack flow during busy service

At 750mm wide and 850mm deep, this machine requires a considered position within the warewash area. The 135kg installed weight means flooring and installation planning should be confirmed in advance. A mains water connection, drainage, and adequate electrical supply will all need to be in place before installation. The integral softener simplifies commissioning in hard water regions, but water quality and supply pressure should still be verified at the specification stage.

The AUPSW-10B is well suited to mid-to-large volume operations — restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and staff restaurants where continuous throughput is a daily requirement. For very high-volume sites processing a significant number of racks per hour across extended service periods, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty flight or rack-conveyor machine would be more appropriate. Equally, smaller operations with modest cover numbers may find a hood-type or undercounter machine a more proportionate fit.
