Detailed Summary
Detailed Summary
The Washtech PW2C is a wide body front loading warewasher with an integrated heat recovery unit, made in New Zealand by Washtech and distributed by Moffat. The heat recovery unit preheats the cold water supply, reducing steam emissions and energy use, and suits installation without an extraction canopy in many situations. The W 1100 × D 650 × H 750 mm chamber takes bins, crates and up to 20 trays.
Key features and benefits
The PW2C is the PW2 with heat recovery, for sites washing oversized items all day where steam and power costs add up. It is optimised for fast, efficient operation on cold inlet water, with a hot water line recommended only for faster initial heating. Longer 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 minute cycles, a high powered dual-pump wash system and robust stainless-steel arms clean heavily soiled bins and crates, while a break tank and rinse pump cope with low inlet pressure. The counterbalanced, insulated split door opens the full chamber.

The PW2C is the heat recovery version of the PW2, with the same wide body chamber. For a passthrough layout with heat recovery, see the PW3C, and for a smaller front loader the PW1C. Before ordering, check the water supply temperature and pressure, the drain position and the power supply against the specification so the machine performs as rated from day one. Our team can help you size the machine to your covers and peak service, so you are not paying for capacity you will never use. If you are replacing an older warewasher, measure the existing water, drain and power positions so the installer knows what will need to move. Browse the Washtech range or call 1300 089 974.
Cleaning and maintenance
At the end of each shift, drain the tank, then lift out the dual scrap trays and the wash inlet filter and rinse them. Check the stainless-steel wash and rinse arms for blocked jets, wipe the door seals, keep the heat recovery unit clear, and leave the door open overnight so the chamber can air. Keep the detergent and rinse aid containers topped up.
Installation, power and service
The PW2C is 1235 mm wide, 860 mm deep and 2065 mm high (2165–2225 mm door open), and weighs 260 kg. It needs potable cold water under 25 °C at 100–350 kPa and 10 L a minute through a ¾ in male connection, using 4 L a cycle; a 65 °C fill-only hot line speeds initial heating and can be replaced by a second cold line. Waste is 1.5 in BSP male to a 50 mm minimum line. Power is three phase 400 V at 30 A (19.5 kW) or 20 A (12 kW). Washtech is backed by Moffat's warranty and national service network; call 1300 089 974 to confirm the current terms.
