Semi-Automatic Benchtop Laboratory Glassware Washer Overview
The Semi-Automatic Benchtop Laboratory Glassware Washer (Yamato Scientific AW47) is a compact glassware washer that cleans up to 450 test tubes (16.5 ml) or 36 volumetric flasks (100 ml) per cycle, with a washing water temperature adjustable from room temperature to 60°C. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Two-way pressurized water drives rotating jet nozzles upward and downward to reach interior and exterior surfaces. A built-in 1 kW heater removes the need for boiler piping or a separate water-heating system. Wash time is set from 0 to 60 minutes, and an optional jet rack fixes the nozzles for narrow-neck or narrow-body glassware.
Construction pairs a SUS304 stainless steel washing tub with a chrome-free electrogalvanized steel exterior finished in chemical-resistant paint. External dimensions measure W450 × D490 × H875 mm, and shipping weight is roughly 200 lbs. Manufactured in Japan, the washer ships in 115V and 220V configurations and carries ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification.
Key Features
- Two-way jet cleaning: upward and downward pressurized water with rotating jet nozzles reaches interior and exterior glass surfaces.
- Built-in 1 kW heater: heats washing water on board, eliminating boiler piping and a separate water-heating system.
- Simple time-set operation: set the wash time from 0 to 60 minutes, then start.
- High cycle capacity: holds 450 test tubes (16.5 ml) or 36 volumetric flasks (100 ml) on the standard table stand.
- Corrosion-ready build: SUS304 stainless steel washing tub with a chemical-resistant painted, chrome-free electrogalvanized steel exterior.
- Optional jet rack: fixes the nozzles to clean hard-to-reach glassware with narrow necks or bodies.
How to Choose the Right Glassware Washer
Matching a benchtop washer to your workflow comes down to load size, the glassware geometry you run, and the power available at the install point. Review these axes before specifying a unit.
- Capacity: confirm the per-cycle load fits your throughput — this washer handles 450 test tubes (16.5 ml) or 36 volumetric flasks (100 ml).
- Washing water temperature: a room-temperature to 60°C range supports general detergent washing without exceeding heat-sensitive glassware limits.
- Glassware geometry: narrow-neck flasks and tubes clean better with the optional jet rack, which fixes the nozzles for targeted spray.
- Voltage and site power: select 115V or 220V to match your bench circuit; the 200 W pump and 1 kW heater set the electrical demand.
- Footprint and utilities: external dimensions of W450 × D490 × H875 mm and a 0.1–0.3 MPa supply requirement determine bench and plumbing fit.
- Material compatibility: a SUS304 stainless tub and chemical-resistant exterior suit routine detergent cleaning environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the washing water temperature range of the AW47?
The AW47 heats washing water from room temperature up to 60°C. A built-in 1 kW heater handles this on board, so no boiler piping or separate water-heating system is required.
How much glassware can the AW47 wash per cycle?
Each cycle holds up to 450 test tubes (16.5 ml) or 36 volumetric flasks (100 ml) on the standard table stand. Optional jet and test-tube racks adapt the load to other glassware.
Is the AW47 available in both 115V and 220V?
Yes. The AW47 ships in a 115V configuration (SKU AW-47-115V) and a 220V configuration (SKU AW-47-220V). Select the voltage that matches your facility's bench circuit at checkout.
What materials are used in the washing chamber?
The washing tub is SUS304 stainless steel. The exterior is chrome-free electrogalvanized steel finished with chemical-resistant paint, suiting routine detergent cleaning.
What are the external dimensions and weight of the AW47?
External dimensions are W450 × D490 × H875 mm (approximately 36 × 36 × 62 in), and shipping weight is about 200 lbs. Interior tub dimensions measure W420 × D450 × H570 mm.
How do I clean narrow-neck glassware in the AW47?
