Sammic
Sammic AX-51BCD Break Tank Undercounter Dishwasher DD
£2,424.00(£2,908.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Sammic AX-51BCD is an undercounter dishwasher built for commercial kitchen use, fitted with a break tank to meet water regulations where a direct mains connection to a dishwasher is not permitted. The DD designation refers to its double-door configuration, which allows plates and racked items to be loaded from one side and unloaded from the other — a practical arrangement in linear pass-through workflows even within an undercounter footprint.
At the heart of this machine is Sammic's Sani-Control system, which maintains a consistently high rinse temperature to meet disinfection standards throughout service. This is not simply a wash temperature claim — it is a controlled process designed to deliver hygienically clean results reliably, even during sustained back-to-back cycles. The Hydroblade washing arms are engineered to maximise water coverage across the rack, reducing the chance of blind spots that can compromise wash quality on heavily soiled loads. Operating at under 70 dB(A), the machine runs quietly enough for front-of-house or open kitchen environments where noise is a consideration.
From an operational standpoint, this machine offers several practical advantages:
- Constant high-temperature rinse for reliable disinfection compliance
- Hydroblade arms for thorough, even wash coverage across the full rack
- Three-stage filtration to extend wash water quality and reduce cycle interruptions
- Embedded bodywork and easy-grip door for hygienic surfaces and comfortable operation
- Double-door pass-through layout to support smooth front-to-back workflow
The break tank is a factory-fitted requirement for sites where water regulations prohibit a direct connection — not an optional upgrade. Installations will need a suitable water supply, drainage, and an electrical connection to support the machine's boiler. The double-door configuration requires careful consideration of positioning within the kitchen to ensure both sides have adequate access and clearance for racking. As with all undercounter dishwashers, this machine is best suited to low-to-medium cover operations; higher-volume sites or kitchens running continuous service may find a pass-through or rack conveyor machine a more appropriate fit.
This model works well in cafés, small restaurants, hotel bar operations, and similar environments where a compact footprint is needed but disinfection standards cannot be compromised. For operations with lighter throughput requirements, smaller-capacity alternatives exist; for sites handling significantly higher volumes, a larger machine would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the AX-51BCD is the right specification for your site — particularly around the break tank requirement or the double-door layout — our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this model have a break tank, and do I need one?
A break tank prevents backflow from the dishwasher into the mains water supply, and is required by UK Water Regulations (WRAS) in most commercial dishwasher installations. If your site does not already have a compliant backflow prevention arrangement in place, a break tank model like this one is typically the correct specification — your water supplier or installer can confirm what applies to your premises.
What service volume is the AX-51BCD suited to?
As an undercounter machine, this dishwasher is well suited to low-to-medium cover operations — typically small restaurants, cafés, hotel bars, and similar environments running service without continuous back-to-back demand. For sites handling significantly higher volumes or running extended uninterrupted service, a pass-through or conveyor machine would generally be a more appropriate choice.
What does the double-door (DD) configuration mean in practice?
The double-door layout means the machine has an entry door on one side and an exit door on the other, allowing dirty racks to be loaded at one end and clean racks removed from the opposite end without crossing paths. This works well in linear kitchen layouts where space is tight but workflow separation matters — though it does require that both sides of the machine have clear, usable access.
