Spotlight on the D500DUO & G400DUO

Every warewashing manufacturer will have lots of models to choose from, with so much choice it’s sometimes difficult to know where to start.

Each model in the range is there as we know it meets a need, no two operators are the same so choice is important. Within any range, some models will be more popular than others, those core machines that get the job done for lots of different customers.

This article spotlights two of our most popular machines that are keeping plates and glasses clean across the UK and beyond, the D500 DUO dishwasher and the G400 DUO glasswasher.

Understanding the benefits and specifications of these two machines is a great way to start your selection process for a new machine.
