Product Description
The Sammic AX-50 is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for bar and food service environments where clean glassware needs to turn around quickly and consistently. It takes a 500mm basket, accommodates a solid throughput of glasses per cycle, and sits neatly beneath a standard bar counter — making it a practical choice where space is limited but demand is steady.
In a working bar or café environment, the AX-50 is built to handle the rhythm of a busy service without requiring much intervention from staff. The cycle selection is icon-driven, which reduces the chance of operator error during a rush, and the controls carry IP65 humidity protection — a sensible feature given the wet, steamy conditions typical of bar undercounter positions. Different wash programmes can be selected based on the type of item being washed, which helps balance wash quality against cycle time depending on what service demands at any given moment.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Icon-based controls that are quick to learn and easy to use under pressure
- Dedicated wash cycles adapted to item type, helping maintain glass clarity
- IP65-rated panel suited to humid undercounter environments
- Compact footprint that fits beneath standard bar counters without modification
- Consistent wash results that support hygiene compliance during busy service periods
Installation requires a cold water supply, a drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply — a qualified installer should confirm your existing services are compatible before fitting. The unit is designed for undercounter installation, so adequate clearance for ventilation and routine maintenance access should be factored in when choosing a position. For very high-volume venues or sites running continuous service across multiple bar areas, a higher-capacity machine may be worth considering.
The AX-50 is well suited to independent bars, hotel bar areas, cafés, and smaller hospitality venues where a reliable, easy-to-operate glasswasher is needed without the footprint or cost of a larger machine. It is a sensible mid-range choice for operators who need dependable daily performance from a compact unit.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or installation setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The AX-50 is a practical choice for bars with moderate to steady throughput, such as independent pubs, hotel bars, or café-bars. For very high-volume venues running near-continuous service across a long evening, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would better match your demand before purchasing.
- The machine requires a cold water supply, a drain connection, and a compatible electrical supply. It is designed for undercounter installation, so you should confirm adequate clearance for ventilation and access to the unit for routine cleaning and servicing. A qualified installer should check your existing services are suitable prior to fitting.
- The icon-based controls and accessible undercounter design make routine daily cleaning manageable for bar staff without specialist knowledge. Regular filter cleaning and descaling — particularly in hard water areas — are the main maintenance tasks to keep wash performance consistent and extend the working life of the machine.
