Sammic UX-40B Undercounter Glasswasher 400mm Basket

The Sammic UX-40B is a compact undercounter glasswasher taking a 400mm basket, designed for commercial bars, pubs, café-bars, and similar front-of-house environments where bench space is limited and glassware is the primary warewashing demand. It sits beneath a standard counter and operates without the footprint or installation complexity of a hood-type or pass-through machine.

In bar service, consistency matters more than raw throughput. The UX-40B is built for steady, repeated use across a full shift, returning clean, clear glassware cycle after cycle. A soft-start wash pump function reduces mechanical stress on delicate stemware at the beginning of each cycle — a practical consideration for venues handling wine glasses and cocktail glassware rather than solely pint pots. Wash quality remains reliable without the spotting or cloudiness that becomes visible to customers in front-of-house settings.

Key operational advantages include:

• Built-in water softener eliminates the need for a separate softening unit and reduces limescale build-up
• 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 provides clear status information and is straightforward for bar staff to operate
• Compact undercounter footprint suits tight back-bar and service counter installations

The integrated water softener simplifies installation and reduces the number of components needing ongoing maintenance. The drain pump adds useful flexibility in siting the machine, though a mains cold water supply and a suitable drainage point within reach are still required. It is worth confirming the intended installation position before ordering to avoid complications on site.

This model is well suited to small and medium venues — bars, hotel lounges, members clubs, and café-bars — where glassware throughput is the primary requirement. It is not designed to handle crockery or cutlery loads, and it would not be the right choice for a high-volume kitchen environment. For operations with significantly greater throughput demands, a heavier-duty machine would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or have questions about the installation requirements at your site, the team is happy to talk it through.
