Maidaid C40D 390mm Basket Undercounter Glasswasher with Drain Pump

The Maidaid C40D is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for commercial bar and foodservice environments where space is limited but throughput and hygiene standards are not. Operating with a 390mm basket, it sits neatly beneath a standard bar counter and handles the steady demand of a busy service without requiring dedicated machine room space or complex installation.

In a working bar or pub environment, consistency matters as much as capacity. The C40D is built to maintain wash quality across repeated cycles during a busy service, with a triple filtration system that protects the pump and keeps wash arm performance stable over time. The inclusion of a drain pump means the machine is not dependent on a gravity drain, which makes siting more flexible — particularly useful in older buildings or bar fits where floor drainage is not ideally positioned.

From an operational standpoint, the C40D offers several practical advantages for front-of-house teams:

• Simple single LED display keeps operation straightforward for bar staff
• Nine wash cycle options accommodate different glassware types and soil levels
• Wash arms with inspection caps allow quick cleaning without tools
• Drain pump removes reliance on gravity drainage, improving siting options
• EN17735 certified sanitisation supports compliance with foodservice hygiene requirements

Installation requires a dedicated electrical supply and a cold water feed. The drain pump allows some flexibility in outlet positioning, but a proper trap and waste connection is still required. As with all undercounter glasswashers, adequate ventilation around the unit should be considered to manage steam during service. The machine is suited to low-to-medium volume sites — a high-volume venue turning over large quantities of glassware continuously may find a higher-capacity hood-type or pass-through machine better suited to the pace of service.

The C40D is well suited to pubs, bars, small hotels, cafés, and similar venues where a reliable, no-fuss glasswasher is needed in a compact footprint. It is a practical choice for operators who need EN-certified hygiene performance without the space or budget demands of a larger machine. For sites with significantly higher throughput requirements, it is worth considering whether a larger-basket or pass-through model would better match the operation.
