Sammic AX-40 400mm Basket Undercounter Glasswasher

The Sammic AX-40 is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for bar and front-of-house environments where consistent glass hygiene and a small footprint both matter. It takes a 400mm basket and handles pint glasses, wine glasses, and other standard barware in a single cycle, making it a practical choice for operations that need clean glasses turned around quickly without dedicating significant floor or counter space to the machine.

In a busy bar or café setting, the AX-40 is well suited to steady, continuous throughput across a service period. The dedicated wash cycle selection — guided by icons rather than complex settings — means staff can operate it confidently with minimal training, which is useful in environments with high staff turnover or split shifts. The electronic control panel carries IP65 humidity protection, which is a sensible feature in a wet bar environment where splashing is routine.

From an operational standpoint, the AX-40 offers several practical advantages:

• Icon-driven cycle selection reduces operator error and speeds up glass turnaround
• Dedicated cycles adapted to the type of item being washed, supporting consistent results
• Compact undercounter format fits neatly beneath standard bar counters
• Simple controls make it accessible for all levels of bar staff
• IP65-rated panel provides reliable protection in wet working environments

Installation requires a mains water connection, a drain, and an appropriate electrical supply. The machine offers both gravity drain and drain pump options, which gives some flexibility depending on how the drain point is positioned relative to the machine. If your drain sits below counter level, gravity drain is straightforward; if not, the pump option removes that constraint. As with all undercounter glasswashers, ensuring adequate clearance for the door to open fully and for basket loading and unloading is worth confirming before installation.

The AX-40 is best suited to small bars, cafés, hotel bars, or event spaces with moderate glass volumes. It is not intended for high-volume nightclub or stadium environments where a larger-capacity or pass-through machine would be more appropriate. For lighter-use settings, a smaller or more basic unit may also be worth considering.
