Sammic SAM-3001 Automatic Cutlery Polisher | 3000 Pcs/Hr Benchtop

The Sammic SAM-3001 Benchtop Automatic Cutlery Polisher is a high-speed, labour-saving commercial cutlery finishing station engineered specifically for Australian restaurants, function centres, wineries, hotel banqueting departments, commercial caterers, and hospitality clubs. Sized at 485 mm Wide x 603 mm Deep x 412 mm High and weighing 43.5 kg, this fully automated benchtop unit dries, polishes, and eliminates water spots and limescale marks from up to 3,000 pieces of cutlery per hour straight from the commercial dishwasher, slashing manual hand-polishing labour costs while elevating table presentation.

Why operators choose the Sammic SAM-3001:

• Massive hourly output up to 3,000 pieces — automates post-wash cutlery handling to process high volumes rapidly, drastically reducing front-of-house labour hours and offering a rapid return on investment.

• Spotless, streak-free polishing & drying — vibrates washed, wet cutlery through a heated, eco-friendly plant-based granulate medium, drying moisture and buffing away stubborn limescale and mineral deposits.

• Integrated UVC germicidal sterilising lamp — equipped with an 8W ultraviolet germicide lamp that continuously sterilises both the cutlery and the internal polishing granulate to meet strict commercial hygiene standards.

• High-efficiency hot air outlet fan — 50W forced-air fan dries residual moisture, aids smooth forward movement through the chute, and prevents external granulate dust accumulation.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel build — chassis, internal tank, and transit pathways are manufactured from food-grade commercial stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance in humid wash-up environments.

• Long-life organic granulate compound — operates with natural, non-toxic corn-cob drying granulate providing up to 200 operational hours before needing replenishment.

• Compact benchtop footprint — space-saving 485 x 603 mm profile fits comfortably onto commercial dishwashing exit tables or back-of-house sorting benches.

• Plug-and-play 10A operation — low total electrical draw (under 3 Amps running on single-phase 230V power) connecting directly into any standard Australian 10 Amp wall socket.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Service Notice

To achieve maximum polishing efficiency and prevent granulate clumping, introduce cutlery directly into the loading chute immediately after the commercial dish machine cycle finishes while the cutlery is still hot and wet. Do not overload the intake chute; feed items in a steady, continuous stream. The organic vegetable polishing granulate must be replaced every 150 to 200 operational hours (or sooner in very hard-water regions) to maintain optimal drying and buffing performance. Regularly inspect the UVC lamp and wipe down the exterior stainless steel casing at the end of each shift.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard delivery is available across Australia. Due to the 43.5kg commercial shipping weight and precision internal mechanisms, please contact our friendly commercial sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Sammic SAM-3001 polish and dry cutlery automatically?

Cutlery taken straight from the dishwasher is fed into the top chute. An internal vibratory motor moves the cutlery through a heated bed of organic corn-cob granulate. The tumbling action and heat absorb moisture and buff the metal surface to remove limescale and mineral spots, while an outlet fan and UVC lamp dry, sterilise, and eject the gleaming cutlery from the front spout into your collection basket.

What type of cutlery can be processed in the SAM-3001?

The Sammic SAM-3001 is engineered for commercial stainless steel cutlery (including 18/10, 18/8, and 18/0 alloys) as well as silver-plated tableware. It safely processes dinner knives, forks, dessert spoons, soup spoons, and teaspoons without scratching.

How often do I need to replace the polishing granulate?

The organic polishing compound typically lasts for up to 200 hours of continuous operation. As it absorbs moisture, oils, and minerals over time, its efficiency gradually declines. Replacement bags of genuine Sammic granulate are readily available and simple to reload into the tank.

What is the role of the UVC lamp?

The built-in 8W germicidal UVC light continuously sterilises the internal polishing tank, the tumbling granulate, and the cutlery as it travels through the machine, eliminating residual bacteria and ensuring high standards of hygiene and food safety.

What electrical outlet is required?

The unit draws approximately 3 Amps on 230V power and comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp single-phase plug, making it ready for instant plug-and-play installation on your dishwashing landing table.
