U50

With its combination of innovative technologies, an integrated system solution and Winterhalter as a strong partner, the U50 clearly stands out from the competition and is the perfect undercounter warewasher. Aside from first-class wash results, outstanding quality, simple operation and cost-effective operation, the most notable feature of the U50 is its excellent reliability in everyday warewashing. Unique in this class, the Winterhalter RemoteServices guarantee all of these benefits: all it takes is a quick call to the hotline if problems arise, and the warewashing experts can use remote access to inspect the machine interior and provide immediate assistance. With this complete package, the U50 is the ideal solution for washing in the foodservice industry.

The U50 boasts an exceptionally wide range of applications: it can be used for mixed wash items, plates, glasses, cutlery and smaller utensils. But it is able to handle bottles, reusables and trays as well. With an output of up to 30 racks or 420 plates per hour, the U50 can also cope with busy periods and their high volume of wash items - whether at the back of the kitchen or at the front, in the counter.

Yes, the kitchen is the preferred position for the U50 in many foodservice establishments. With its compact dimensions, it is predestined for small rooms with limited space. A truly versatile machine, it can be used for washing mixed items, plates and cutlery or small utensils. Plinths are available as accessories to enable ergonomic operation at an optimised working height.

The U50 has clear advantages over hand washing in all important areas. The automated washing process consistently ensures first-class cleanliness and certified hygiene safety: with its ideal temperatures of above 60°C, optimised wash pressure and tailored dosing of chemicals. In addition, the risk of breakage and injury is minimised during machine washing. But the decisive aspect is the reduced time and labour costs: the U50 can handle up to 30 racks or 420 plates per hour, without any need for manual drying. This translates into a cost reduction of up to 70% compared to manual washing.

One of Winterhalter's major strengths comes to the fore when things don't go as they should: the warewashing experts are also on hand to answer any questions and address any problems you may encounter after your purchase. If a fault occurs with the U50, the integrated error management system steps in quickly to identify the cause and shows a corresponding message on the display. This means that many problems can be solved quickly and easily. Where this does not succeed, users can simply call the hotline and RemoteService will take a remote look inside the machine, identify the fault and provide immediate assistance. And what if the problem is serious and requires a spare part? In this case, the Winterhalter service technicians will travel to your location promptly to ensure that the machine is soon up and running again.

The U50 can handle up to 30 racks per hour in the standard programmes (rack size 500 x 500 mm). This is equivalent, for example, to up to 420 plates or 750 glasses per hour. An individually configurable short programme can also be activated to improve the rack capacity if required.

Both machines, the U50 and the UC, fulfil the strict requirements for first-class wash results, hygiene safety and efficiency. And: both machines are equipped for remote access via CONNECTED WASH and therefore immediate assistance from Winterhalter experts. In regard to the technical features and functionality, the U50 is pared down to the essentials and is an uncomplicated solution for price-conscious foodservice professionals. The UC Series is equipped with far more technical features, offers variable wash pressure adjustment and options such as heat recovery, integrated softener or integrated reverse osmosis. And the UC Series is available in four sizes, unlike the single-size U50.

Yes, the U50 can even run with a fluctuation of ±10% in nominal power supply. However, a stable power supply is recommended to ensure consistently high performance and to maximise the machine’s service life.

An on-site water pressure of at least 1 bar is needed to run the U50. This keeps the machine working reliably and producing optimum wash results.

Yes, a variety of rental models and financing options with different terms exist in addition to just purchasing the U50. The offers vary from country to country and are subject to a prior credit check.

With its high quality and finishing, the U50 from Winterhalter is an undercounter warewasher that you can rely on in any situation. Thanks to its powerful warewashing system and efficient multi-filtration, it ensures first-class wash results even with heavy soiling and in doing so delivers the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. The machine is easy to operate and minimises operating costs with its low consumption of water, energy and chemicals. What’s more, networking via CONNECTED WASH presents opportunities to optimise the washing process and increase operating safety. RemoteServices are possible as well: when problems occur, Winterhalter warewashing experts can take a look inside the machine, recognise the cause of the fault and provide immediate assistance.

Yes, thanks to its compact dimensions, the U50 can be flexibly integrated into the counter area with a niche size (width) of 600 mm. This comes with the advantage of short routes and efficient workflows, especially when washing glasses, bottles, cups and dishes. Designed for low noise emission, the U50 is pleasantly quiet and barely noticeable to guests. Alternatively, the U50 can also be positioned as a free-standing unit in the kitchen.

The U50 has a number of product features that clearly set it apart from the competition. These includes the double-skinned insulated and fully enclosed stainless steel housing, which not only reduces noise emissions but also energy consumption. Machine networking via CONNECTED WASH is also among the U50’s highlights: Winterhalter experts can use remote access to take a quick look at the U50 and provide immediate assistance when problems occur (RemoteServices). It also comes with other product features such as the high-performance washing system, efficient multi-filtration, a display with single-button operation and the special programme for high temperature washing.

Winterhalter is not just a provider of warewashers, but the pre-eminent global warewashing specialist with over 75 years of know-how and experience. The company has been synonymous with quality "Developed in Germany", reliability and innovation in the commercial washing sector since 1947. Unlike many of its competitors, Winterhalter focuses on an integrated system solution comprising warewasher, water treatment, chemicals, racks and accessories: precisely tailored to the individual requirements of the customer and accompanied by a broad portfolio of services. Yet another difference to many competitors: Winterhalter attaches great importance to customer proximity, leading to the establishment of subsidiaries and regional logistics centres in the various countries. Customers therefore benefit from high availability of machines and spare parts, short delivery times and competent on-site service technicians. Factoring in the immediate assistance in the event of problems via remote access to the machine, Winterhalter is the reliable partner for all aspects of warewashing.

As an undercounter warewasher, the U50 has a compact design and is also suitable for integration within the counter. Its footprint is 600 mm wide and 657 mm deep. The appliance height is between 820 and 855 mm and can be adjusted individually. If the U50 has been selected for installation as a free-standing unit in the kitchen, the plinths that are available as accessories offer ergonomic processes at an ideal working height.

Compared to washing and drying by hand – which takes a lot of time and staff – the U50 needs just two minutes for a wash cycle in the standard programmes. An individually configurable short programme can be set up if required to further increase rack capacity during busy times.

The maximum noise emission of the U50 is 59 dB (A). In comparison: this is equivalent to the volume of two people having a normal conversation. The U50 is therefore ideal for the counter area, as operation will not disturb the guests. Many conventional warewashers are significantly louder.

The U50 is available in three power supply variants: The exact values are found at (link: "technical data"). The electrical connected load required in each individual case depends on the local conditions.

Yes, operation with a waste water connection of up to 500 mm above the floor is possible without any problems thanks to the integrated drain pump. This means that the U50 is also suitable for operation in challenging structural settings.

Yes, the U50 is “smart” and can be networked via CONNECTED WASH. Warewashing experts can therefore access the machine remotely. If a problem occurs, they can take a look inside the machine very quickly, recognise the cause of the fault and ideally rectify it immediately. Remote maintenance is part of Winterhalter's RemoteServices and minimises potential downtimes, avoids unnecessary on-site service calls and increases operating safety.
