Hobart Premax AUPW-10B Pass-Through Dishwasher

The Hobart Premax AUPW-10B is a commercial pass-through dishwasher designed for professional kitchens where consistent throughput and hygiene standards need to be maintained across a full service. It operates on the rack-to-rack pass-through principle — crockery, glassware, cutlery, and utensils enter one side and exit the other, allowing the wash cycle to run continuously without creating a bottleneck at the pot wash.

One of the more practical features of this machine is Hobart's Permanent-Clean system, which handles automatic soil removal as part of the wash cycle itself. In busy kitchens, manual pre-rinsing before loading is a significant drain on time and labour. By integrating soil removal into the cycle, the AUPW-10B reduces that preparation step and helps maintain consistent wash quality throughout service without requiring operator intervention. For a kitchen turning over a high volume of covers, the cumulative time saving is worth accounting for when evaluating running costs.

The machine offers both Intensive and Eco wash modes, giving kitchen managers a practical way to match energy and water use to actual demand. Lightly soiled loads through a quiet service can run on the Eco programme; the Intensive mode is there when stubborn soiling or heavily tarnished cutlery requires a more thorough cycle.

• Permanent-Clean system removes soil automatically during the wash cycle
• Intensive and Eco modes allow operators to manage energy and water use day to day
• Pass-through configuration keeps throughput moving continuously during service
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene compliance and long-term durability
• Suited to continuous rack loading across a full commercial service period

Installation requires water inlet and drain connections, and the electrical supply specification should be confirmed against the machine's requirements before ordering. At 135kg, positioning needs to be planned carefully — particularly in tighter kitchen layouts — and adequate access for installation and ongoing servicing should be factored in. The footprint should be checked against your available pass-through run before committing.

The AUPW-10B is well suited to restaurants, hotels, staff canteens, and contract catering operations running a steady volume of covers. For smaller or lower-volume sites, a hood-type or undercounter machine may be a more proportionate choice. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume operations such as large banqueting kitchens or central production facilities may benefit from discussing whether a higher-capacity pass-through or flight machine would be a better fit for their throughput requirements.

If you'd like to talk through whether this machine suits your service volume or your site's installation setup, the team is glad to help you work through it before you make a decision.
