50A is required, per Post #49
See it whatever way you like, I did one of these two years back, with the built in rinse booster heater. The manual said 48 amp draw @ 208V 3Φ. 50 amp draw @ 240V 3Φ.

The factory approved supplier/ installer said that it needed a 60 amp breaker and wires for the wiring not to burn up on the onboard rinse booster heater elements, that are a pain to get to.

I ran the circuit in EMT conduit, and let him terminate the machine connections, since he would be providing any support it required.

In a busy kitchen, I doubt that a 48 or 50 amp load would survive too long without trouble on a 50 amp circuit, when it could be running non stop during the busy times, especially when connected to heating elements. It's been running without a hiccup since the install in a busy restaurant. On a wild leg 240 delta.

The optional model required two circuits, to split the heating load from the machine loads.

if it is supplied by three pole breaker from a delta system (with more than 150 volts to ground on any conductor) GFCI is not required
For 2020 NEC, supply voltage applies to 210.8 Receptacles or (D) Outlets, not hard-wired Appliance rating per 422.5

The language in 422.5 makes exception for Appliance ratings > 150v to Gnd , not Supply rating

Isn't a hard wired appliance connected to an outlet?

Look at highlighted text in post 64:

Receptacles or (D) Outlets vs Appliance rating

Appliance
ratings vs Supply rating

Cord & Plug is also connected to receptacles, but such GFCI requirement is governed by supply rating
