Expert Review and  Insights

The Blizzard STORM40 is a cracking bit of kit for any venue that values speed and  simplicity. It's a no-frills, high-performance machine that does exactly what it says on the tin: gets glasses clean, fast. In a busy pub environment, you don't have time for complicated controls or temperamental equipment, and  this model delivers that essential, fuss-free reliability.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: Exceptionally fast cycle times keep up with the busiest weekend rushes.
  • Cons: The 270mm max glass height won't accommodate some taller stemware or pint glasses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan & Cygnet, a popular riverside pub in York, was struggling with an old, slow glasswasher that couldn't keep up with their weekend tourist trade, leading to delays at the bar and  customer complaints.

"We were hand-washing glasses during peak hours, which was just not sustainable. Since installing the Blizzard STORM40, we’ve completely eliminated that bottleneck. The speed is fantastic, and  the glasses come out gleaming every single time. It's been a massive improvement for our bar staff and  our customers."

Robert Mills – General Manager

The pub has seen a 30% reduction in glass polishing time and  can now serve customers faster, improving bar efficiency during the busiest periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have a standard 13-amp socket and  correct water connections (hot or cold feed) nearby.
  • Check your water pressure is sufficient; low pressure can affect rinse performance.
  • Before first use, run a cycle to prime the automatic detergent and  rinse aid lines.
  • Make sure the machine is level on the floor to ensure it drains correctly and  operates quietly.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, remove and  rinse the filters to prevent blockages.
  • Once a week, take out the wash and  rinse arms and  check the jets for any blockages from debris or limescale.
  • Regularly check the levels of your detergent and  rinse aid to ensure the machine never runs dry.
  • Depending on your water hardness, a regular descaling cycle will keep it running efficiently for years.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glasswasher

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when picking the perfect bar glasswashing machine for your business.

Basket Size

A 400x400mm basket is a great compact choice for undercounter spaces, but measure your busiest period's output to ensure it can keep up.

Cycle Times

Look for multiple cycle options. A fast cycle is essential for busy nights, while a longer one can tackle more stubborn marks during quieter times.

Drain Type

Check if you need a gravity drain (if the waste outlet is below the machine's) or a powered drain pump (if the waste is higher up).

Water Hardness

If you're in a hard water area, consider a machine with a built-in water softener or plan to install an external one to prevent limescale buildup.

Power Supply

Most undercounter units like this run on a standard 13-amp plug, but always double-check that it matches your venue's electrical setup.

How Thermo-stop Guarantees a Hygienic Finish

Ever wondered how a professional glasswasher gets everything so clean and  dry so quickly? A feature like Thermo-stop is one of the secrets. In simple terms, it acts like a quality control checkpoint for the final rinse cycle. The machine will not start the final rinse until the water in the boiler has reached the perfect sanitising temperature (usually above 82°C).

Think of it like making a proper cup of tea; you wouldn't use lukewarm water and  expect a good brew. The Thermo-stop system ensures your glasses are only rinsed with water that's hot enough to kill bacteria and  flash-dry the glass, leaving a sparkling, streak-free, and  hygienically safe finish every single time. It’s a crucial feature for meeting health standards and  giving customers total confidence.
