The DC BW50A D is a true multi-purpose washer designed to work as a bottle washer, glasswasher or dishwasher simply by swapping the rack. As part of our wider commercial warewasher range, it offers a flexible solution for hospitality sites that need adaptable washing performance within a single footprint.
That versatility makes it an excellent choice for busy bars, breweries, food production spaces and refill environments where requirements can change day to day.
Producing up to 40 racks per hour, the BW50A D uses a 500 x 500mm rack format and is supplied with dedicated baskets for bottle, jug and plate washing. The machine automatically recognises when the bottle rack is in place and adjusts the wash hydraulics accordingly, helping deliver strong wash results with minimal input from the operator.
With a built-in break tank and drain pump, four selectable wash cycles and integrated dosing, it’s engineered for reliable daily use in commercial settings where output, compliance and consistency matter.
For sites requiring a dedicated glasswasher or dishwasher without bottle-washing functionality, alternative 500mm rack machines are available within the range to suit specific operational needs.
