Glasswashers
A commercial glasswasher cleans and sanitizes glassware quickly and gently, so the bar always has clean, spot-free glasses ready. Babak Food Equipment offers commercial glass washers from Hobart and Jet-Tech for bars, pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels and wine bars across Vancouver and British Columbia. Built to fit under a bar counter, a glass washing machine handles short, frequent cycles and keeps service moving on busy nights.
Types of commercial glasswashers
Undercounter glasswashers
Compact front-loading machines that fit under the bar and wash a rack of glasses in a short cycle – the most common choice for bars and restaurants.
High-temp and low-temp
High-temperature models sanitize with hot rinse water, while low-temperature models use a chemical sanitizer at lower temperatures and often leave fewer heat marks on delicate glassware.
How to choose a glasswasher
Glass height: check the door opening and rack clearance for your tallest glasses, such as pint, wine and highball glasses.
Cycle time and capacity: shorter cycles and more racks per hour suit high-volume bars.
Water quality: hard water causes spots and film; a softener or filter and the right rinse aid improve results.
Power, water and drain: confirm voltage, hot or cold water feed and drain location – a drain pump helps when the floor drain is higher.
Space: measure under the bar for height, width and depth, including room for the chemical lines.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a glasswasher and a dishwasher?
A glasswasher is designed for glassware, with racks and spray patterns that protect glasses and shorter cycles. A dishwasher handles heavier soil on plates, pots and utensils.
Do bars need a glasswasher?
Not always, but most busy bars use one. Manual glass washing usually requires a multi-compartment sink with wash, rinse and sanitize steps, which is slower during service.
Why are my glasses cloudy after washing?
Cloudy glasses are usually caused by hard water, the wrong detergent or rinse aid dosage, or a dirty machine. Regular cleaning and water treatment help.
