Sammic AX-50 500mm Basket Undercounter Dishwasher 18 Plate

The Sammic AX-50 is a 500mm basket undercounter dishwasher designed for professional use in smaller commercial kitchen environments. It handles an 18-plate capacity per cycle and sits beneath a standard counter, making it a practical choice where floor space is limited but a reliable, consistent wash result is still required throughout service.

In a busy café, bar, or compact restaurant kitchen, the AX-50 is built to handle continuous cycling across a service period without the kind of inconsistency that causes backlogs at the wash station. The 500mm basket format accommodates standard crockery, glassware, and utensils, and the cycle selection uses icon-based controls that are straightforward for front-of-house or kitchen staff to operate with minimal training. The electronic control panel carries IP65 humidity protection, which matters in a wash area where spray and steam are an everyday reality.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Icon-driven cycle selection reduces errors and speeds up wash station decisions
• Dedicated programmes adapt cycle duration to the type of load being washed
• IP65-rated control panel withstands the damp conditions typical of a wash-up area
• Undercounter format preserves counter and floor space in tight kitchen layouts
• Straightforward controls reduce reliance on experienced wash station staff

Installation requires connection to a hot or cold water supply depending on configuration, along with a drainage outlet. The undercounter format means plumbing access needs to be available within the cabinet depth. As with any undercounter machine, ventilation around the unit should be considered to prevent heat build-up in enclosed spaces. It is worth confirming your water hardness and whether a softener is already in place, as this will affect both wash quality and long-term maintenance requirements.

The AX-50 is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, hotel bars, and similar operations running moderate covers where an undercounter machine is the practical choice. It is less suited to high-volume kitchens running continuous heavy covers throughout a long service — for those environments, a higher-capacity rack or passthrough machine is likely to be a better fit.
