The Blizzard STORM50 isn't trying to be flashy; it's a proper grafter. It’s the sort of reliable, no-nonsense machine you want behind the bar on a frantic Saturday night.

  • Solid Performer: The thermo-stop function ensures a proper, hygienic rinse every single time.
  • Gravity Drain Only: You'll need to ensure your waste outlet is positioned correctly.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a busy gastropub in Skipton, North Yorkshire, found their old glasswasher couldn't cope with the summer tourist trade, causing service delays. They upgraded to the Blizzard STORM50 to increase capacity and  speed.

"We needed a machine that could keep up with the weekend rush without interrupting the pub's atmosphere. The STORM50 is quiet, quick, and  our glasses have never looked better. It's been a fantastic addition to our bar."

Robert Mills – General Manager

The pub has now reduced glass re-washes by over 90% and  can turn tables around 15% faster during peak service, directly improving their bottom line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is installed on a perfectly level and  stable surface to prevent vibration.
  • This model has a gravity drain, so your waste pipe must be lower than the machine's outlet.
  • Connect to a suitable cold water supply and  standard 13 amp plug socket.
  • Before the first use, run a cycle to prime the machine and  draw chemicals into the dispensers.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, remove and  rinse the filters to prevent food debris build-up.
  • Wipe down the inside of the machine, paying close attention to the door seals.
  • Once a week, take out the wash and  rinse arms and  check the spray holes for any blockages.
  • Always keep your detergent and  rinse aid containers topped up for uninterrupted service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glasswasher

Not sure what fits your bar best? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Size & Capacity

Measure your undercounter space carefully. A commercial glasswasher with a 500x500mm basket is ideal for high-volume sites.

Power & Plumbing

Check you have a 13A socket and  easy access to water and  waste connections nearby. Remember to check drain height for gravity models.

Cycle Times

Look for multiple cycle options. A quick cycle is vital for busy nights, while longer ones can be more economical during quieter periods.

Water Hardness

If you're in a hard water area, an external water softener is a wise investment to prevent limescale and  improve results.

Hygiene Features

Features like Thermo-stop are non-negotiable for ensuring a guaranteed hygienic rinse that meets food safety standards.

Noise Levels

If the washer is near customers, a double-skinned door makes a huge difference to the ambient noise and  overall atmosphere.
