Hobart Premax AUPRSW-10B Pass-Through Dishwasher with Heat Recovery

The Hobart Premax AUPRSW-10B is a pass-through dishwasher built for busy commercial kitchens where throughput, water quality and running costs all matter. It includes drain heat recovery and an integral water softener as standard, which together address two of the most common operational concerns in professional warewashing — energy consumption and limescale damage in hard-water areas.

In practice, the machine is designed to handle the demands of continuous service without operators needing to pre-rinse items before loading. Hobart's Permanent-Clean automatic soil removal system handles that step, which in a busy environment saves meaningful time and reduces water usage across each shift. The combination of Intensive and Eco wash programmes gives kitchen managers the flexibility to run lighter cycles during quieter periods and switch to a more thorough wash when dealing with heavily soiled items.

The drain heat recovery system reclaims energy from outgoing hot wastewater to pre-heat incoming fresh water, which reduces the energy drawn each cycle. Over a full service week, this contributes to measurably lower utility costs. The integral softener is particularly relevant for sites in medium to hard water areas, where unprotected machines accumulate scale quickly and require more frequent servicing.

• No pre-rinsing required, reducing labour time and water use per cycle
• Drain heat recovery lowers energy consumption across continuous use
• Integral softener protects internal components in hard-water regions
• Eco and Intensive modes allow programmes to be matched to soil load
• Pass-through configuration suits straight-line or corner warewash setups

Installation requires a dedicated water supply with appropriate pressure and drainage, along with a suitable electrical connection. At 145kg, the machine will need to be positioned before final fit-out of surrounding cabinetry. The pass-through format suits kitchens with a defined clean and dirty side — it works well in mid- to high-volume operations such as hotel restaurants, staff canteens, contract catering sites and busy pub kitchens. For very high-volume sites processing significantly larger basket counts per hour, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty flight or rack conveyor machine would be more appropriate.

If you are weighing this machine against your current service volumes or want to confirm it is the right fit for your water supply and kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
