Sammic UX-40B Undercounter Glasswasher 400mm Basket

The Sammic UX-40B is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bars, pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues where bench space is limited but glassware throughput needs to remain consistent throughout service. It takes a 400mm basket and handles a 16-pint load per cycle, making it a practical choice for front-of-house or back-bar positions where a larger pass-through machine would be unnecessary.

In a busy bar environment, what matters most is consistent wash quality cycle after cycle rather than raw speed. The UX-40B is built for steady, repetitive use across a full shift — returning clean, clear glassware without the spotting or cloudiness that reflects poorly in front of customers. A soft-start wash pump function reduces mechanical stress on more delicate stemware at the start of each cycle, which is a genuine operational consideration for venues handling wine glasses or cocktail glassware rather than solely pint pots.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Built-in water softener reduces limescale build-up and removes the need for a separate softening unit
• Integrated drain pump allows flexible positioning without dependence on gravity drainage
• Soft-start wash pump helps protect fragile stemware during each cycle
• Colour LCD control panel with clear status indicators, straightforward for bar staff to use
• Compact undercounter footprint suited to tight bar and service counter installations

The built-in water softener simplifies installation considerably — there is no need to specify or plumb a separate softener, which also reduces the number of components requiring ongoing maintenance. The drain pump adds useful flexibility in positioning, as the machine does not rely on a floor-level gravity drain. It does still require a mains cold water supply and a suitable drainage point within reach, so the installation position should be confirmed before ordering to avoid complications on site.

This model is well suited to small and medium venues — bars, café-bars, hotel lounges, members clubs, and similar operations where glassware is the primary warewashing demand. It is not intended to replace a hood-type or pass-through machine in a high-volume kitchen setting, and it is not designed to handle heavy crockery or cutlery loads. For sites with significantly higher throughput requirements, a heavier-duty model would be worth considering.
