Hobart Profi AMX Hood Type Glass & Dishwasher (with Vapostop)

The Profi AMX is the top of Hobart’s hood type range. It’s built for busy kitchens that want fast throughput, lower running costs and less maintenance for staff. As with any hood machine, staff slide a rack across from the bench, pull the hood down and slide the clean rack out the other side. There’s no bending, and it fits into a dish line between a pre-rinse sink and an outlet bench.

Its shortest cycle is 60 seconds, and the 440mm chamber height takes large plates, trays and pots. The wash arms clean themselves during every cycle, and SENSO-ACTIVE monitors the quality of the wash water so the machine uses only as much fresh rinse water as each load needs. The GENIUS-X² fine filter system includes a pre-wash function that reduces detergent use. The hood is fully enclosed, so hot steam stays inside the machine instead of spreading through your kitchen.

Staff run it from a colour touchscreen with single-button control, and the screen shows how much time is left on each cycle. Blue markings inside the machine show staff exactly which parts need cleaning, and the CLIP-IN wash and rinse arms come out without tools. The machine records its own operating data, which you can follow through Hobart’s SmartConnect app. The app shows machine status, usage, running costs, hygiene and service information.

Optional upgrades

The AMX can be ordered with three energy and convenience upgrades.

• VAPOSTOP ER exhaust heat recovery captures heat from the exhaust air to cut energy use, and stops steam escaping when the hood opens. Hobart says it removes the need for a separate exhaust canopy in most installations. It adds about 45 seconds to each cycle, but staff can interrupt it when needed.
• Drain water heat recovery uses the heat from the 60°C waste water to warm the incoming fresh water, which lowers energy use.
• AUTO-HOOD LIFT closes the hood at the press of a button and opens it automatically when the cycle finishes, so staff can keep loading the next rack.

Profi AMX or Ecomax Plus H615?

Both are three-phase hood machines with a 440mm chamber and a 60-second cycle. The Profi AMX adds the touchscreen, app connectivity, self-cleaning wash arms, SENSO-ACTIVE water management, the fine filter system and the option of heat recovery and an automatic hood. If you want the lowest running costs and the least maintenance over the life of the machine, choose the Profi AMX. If you want a reliable, straightforward hood machine, the H615 will do the job.

Good to know before you buy

The machine needs a three-phase 415V power supply. With the hood raised, it stands 1995mm tall, so check your ceiling or overhead shelf clearance. If you add drain water heat recovery, the machine sits 151mm higher. If you’re installing it in a corner, keep the right-hand side accessible for servicing.

If your water hardness is above 3°dH, Hobart recommends a Hydroline Protect water softener. For spot-free results without hand polishing, Hobart recommends pairing it with a Hydroline Pure reverse osmosis system. If you connect it to cold water, the listed cycle times will run longer while the machine heats to temperature.
