Detailed Summary
Detailed Summary
The Washtech PW3C is a wide body passthrough warewasher with an integrated heat recovery unit, made in New Zealand by Washtech and distributed by Moffat. The heat recovery unit reduces steam emissions and energy use, optimises it for cold inlet water, and suits installation without an extraction canopy in many situations. The W 1050 × D 640 × H 650 mm chamber takes bins, crates and bowls.
Key features and benefits
The PW3C combines the PW3's passthrough layout with heat recovery, for operations washing oversized items all day. Steam from each cycle preheats the cold water feed, so the wash-up area stays cooler and power costs fall, and a canopy is often not needed. Longer 3, 5 and 7 minute cycles, a high powered dual-pump wash system and robust stainless-steel arms clean heavily soiled items, while a break tank and rinse pump cope with low inlet pressure. A counter-sprung hood and inline bench work make loading easy.

The PW3C is the heat recovery version of the PW3. For a front loading layout with heat recovery, see the PW2C, and for a narrower heat recovery passthrough the AL8C. 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 hood seals, keep the heat recovery unit clear, and leave the hood up overnight so the chamber can air. Keep the detergent and rinse aid containers topped up.
Installation, power and service
The PW3C is 1305 mm wide, 920 mm deep and 2015 mm high, suits an inline bench gap of 1195 mm and weighs 255 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.
