Undercounter Dishwasher, TOP-DRY, 40 Racks/h, 7.7 kW

The Hobart PREMAX FP-10A is a front-loading undercounter dishwasher for restaurants, hotels, cafés and catering operations, capable of washing up to 40 racks per hour while consuming as little as 1.0 litre of water per rack on the ECO programme. Made in Germany from stainless steel 1.4301, it fits into standard undercounter positions and accepts both 500 × 500 mm and 500 × 530 mm baskets.

Three proprietary systems set the PREMAX apart from standard undercounter machines: TOP-DRY integrated drying recirculates hot dry air back into the wash chamber so items emerge ready to use without additional towelling; VAPOSTOP² condenses steam internally so staff can open the door without a steam cloud; and the GENIUS-X² fine filter with prewash function cuts detergent consumption by up to 35%. The VISIOTRONIC-TOUCH colour touchscreen keeps operation to a single button while displaying remaining cycle time, and the built-in WiFi module connects to the WASHSMART app for real-time monitoring of operating costs, hygiene data and consumables.

With eight selectable wash programmes, a switchable power supply (400 V/3N or 230 V/1N), and an optional 2IN1 double-rack system that can push throughput to 90 racks per hour, the FP-10A suits high-volume kitchens where water savings, consistent hygiene results and minimal staff intervention are non-negotiable. An integrated water softener variant — the FPS-10A — is also available.
