Halcyon AMH400 390mm Undercounter Glasswasher With Drain Pump

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.
