Expo Hire supplies commercial glass washers for 600+ items per hour, dishwashers, and washing up sinks for event hygiene. Maintain service speed.
Event managers face continuous demands for hygiene and quick turnaround during service. You need robust equipment. This equipment handles high volumes and delivers clean glassware and crockery to guests fast. Specialist cleaning equipment handles the rigours of temporary event setups.
Dedicated washing up equipment supports rapid service at events. Our commercial glass washers complete a wash cycle in 90 to 120 seconds per rack. They handle 600 to 800 glasses each hour; bars serving hundreds of guests use them. These under-counter units measure 600mm wide by 600mm deep. They fit into most bar back areas.
For catering operations, catering operations use commercial pass-through dishwashers. These machines clean plates, cutlery, and larger kitchen items fast. They maintain service flow during peak periods. A typical cycle lasts between 90 and 150 seconds, processing multiple racks of items fast. You load and unload racks on either side of the wash chamber for efficient operation.
Stainless steel double sinks with integral draining boards create robust washing up stations. These units measure 1500mm long by 600mm deep. Staff have enough room for pre-rinsing and drying. For food preparation areas, hand wash sinks support hygiene compliance. They give staff a dedicated spot to clean their hands.
Design your event cleaning station. Consider the flow of dirty to clean items. Staff position glass washers and dishwashers near service areas. Staff reduce travel distance. All commercial washing equipment requires a 13 amp or 20 amp power supply, a mains water connection, and a waste water drain point. Each unit includes the necessary water inlet and waste hoses.
You can pair glass washers with ice wells and bar fridges to create a complete bar back area. Our washing up sinks complement dishwashers, providing manual pre-rinse or dedicated cutlery soaking. The stainless steel construction of all units delivers durability and easy cleaning throughout your event. Planning your layout promotes quick turnaround and consistent hygiene.
Events demand faster wash cycles than domestic setups. Commercial units deliver this speed, handling hundreds of items an hour compared to a domestic machine’s dozen or so. This difference supports guest service and prevents bottlenecks at the bar or kitchen.
Give your staff brief training on operating the equipment; it performs better. Explain the right way to load racks, use the right amount of detergent, and conduct basic end-of-day cleaning. You empty waste traps on these units at regular intervals. This prevents blockages and maintains wash quality.
Consider the number of guests and duration of your event for equipment selection. A small bar serving 50 guests needs one glass washer. A larger event with 500 guests might require two glass washers and a commercial dishwasher to manage the volume. Equipment comes in many sizes; these suit your specific event requirements.
