Overview
The SPZ Undercounter Dishwasher is a compact front-loading warewasher that fits beneath a standard worktop yet washes a full 500 x 500 mm basket of plates, cups, cutlery or small trays in a single short cycle. It combines a hot wash tank with a high-temperature sanitising rinse to return crockery clean, hygienic and ready to dry in minutes.
This unit sits at the café and small-restaurant throughput tier, ideal where space is tight but a steady flow of clean crockery is essential. With selectable cycles it can be dialled up for lightly soiled cups during coffee service or run longer for heavily soiled plates after a meal rush.
Its core value is labour saving and hygiene consistency. Fast, repeatable cycles free staff from the sink, the thermal rinse removes the guesswork from sanitising, and built-in dosing keeps detergent and rinse-aid use controlled. The result is lower running effort and dependable, inspection-ready results every service.
Key features
- Fits a full 500 x 500 mm basket for plates, cups, cutlery and small trays.
- High-temperature sanitising rinse for hygienically clean crockery.
- Selectable short cycles to match soil level and service pace.
- Double-skinned stainless steel cabinet for insulation and quiet running.
- Built-in detergent and rinse-aid dosing for consistent, hands-off results.
- Optional built-in softener and drain pump for hard-water and drainage flexibility.
Ideal applications
Well suited to cafés, coffee shops, bakeries, bars serving food, small restaurants and office pantries where crockery volume is moderate and counter space is limited. It also works as a secondary machine in larger kitchens for washing cups and glassware away from the main dish line.
For venues that serve a mix of crockery and delicate glassware in high volume, pairing this dishwasher with a dedicated glasswasher keeps both streams fast and spotless.

Frequently asked questions
Undercounter vs hood-type dishwasher — which do I need?
Choose an undercounter machine for cafés and smaller kitchens where space is limited and volume is moderate. Step up to a hood-type pass-through when you regularly clear stacks of plates at high speed, as it offers far higher throughput and ergonomic loading. Our team can size this against your covers per day.
What rinse temperature sanitises dishes?
A final rinse of around 82–85°C is the accepted benchmark for thermal sanitising of crockery and cutlery. At this temperature the rinse disinfects the load and evaporates quickly for fast air-drying, removing the need for chemical sanitisers or hand-drying with a cloth.
How many racks per hour will I get?
Depending on the selected cycle, expect roughly 20 to 40 baskets per hour. Shorter cycles suit lightly soiled cups and glasses, while longer cycles handle heavily soiled plates. Real output also depends on how quickly staff load and unload, so allow for handling time when planning capacity.
Does it need three-phase power in Singapore?
Many undercounter dishwashers run on standard single-phase 230V, though higher-powered models with faster heat recovery may use three-phase 400V. Both are available in Singapore. We confirm the exact electrical requirement for your chosen unit and check your supply before installation.
Does SPZ install and service warewashers?
Yes. SPZ supplies, installs and services undercounter dishwashers across Singapore, including water, drain and power connection, softener commissioning and staff handover. We provide ongoing maintenance, descaling and genuine spare parts. Trade pricing for the food and beverage trade is available on request.
