Non-standard furniture for dishwashing areas is a solution when standard catalogue items are unsuitable for a specific dishwashing room. Designing dishwashing zones involves many variables — room dimensions, the location of the dishwashing machine, wastewater drainage and staff flow. All these factors influence the optimal configuration of tables, cassette shelves and preparation areas.
Why non-standard
Standard work tables and shelves are produced in typical sizes. Dishwashing rooms often have conditions that prevent the use of standard solutions — pipes at floor level, unusual water connections, wall protrusions or a specific machine location. A non-standard solution allows full use of the available space, placing tables and shelves in precise positions and ensuring a comfortable workflow from receiving dirty dishes to storing clean cassettes. Efficient use of space speeds up the washing cycle and reduces the risk of errors.
Typical elements
Non-standard dishwashing zones often include several custom-made elements. A preparation table in specific dimensions at the entrance of the dishwashing machine — provides space for placing dirty dishes. A table or shelf at the machine’s exit — for immediate placement of clean cassettes. Cassette storage shelves on walls or in corners, adapted to cassette size and storage volume. A common plan is developed for all elements to ensure a logical workflow.
HACCP compliance and hygiene
The dishwashing area is a high-hygiene-risk zone — here, contact occurs between dirty and clean dishes. Non-standard elements are made from stainless steel so that all surfaces are easy to disinfect. Design follows the principle of preventing closed cavities — all welds have a rounded profile. Tables are constructed with built-in drainage or piping systems to ensure water drainage without puddle formation. Regular disinfection after each shift is simple, as there are no hard-to-reach surfaces.
Applications
Non-standard furniture for dishwashing areas is used in restaurants with non-standard room layouts, hotels with large kitchen complexes and catering companies with specific space requirements. This furniture fits well into the Non-standard Solutions range alongside kitchen work tables and serving equipment. A complete set of non-standard equipment allows the entire dishwashing zone to be optimally equipped.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order just one element or is a full set necessary? You can also order a single element. However, it is often more cost-effective to order the entire zone’s equipment as a set, as design work is distributed across multiple elements.
Does BHS also carry out engineering communication work? Plumbing and electrical work are carried out by the client or an authorised installer according to BHS drawings.
Materials and manufacturing quality
Stainless steel is a mandatory material for dishwashing zone equipment — due to moisture, steam and disinfectant chemicals, other materials are not suitable for long-term use. BHS non-standard elements use the same steel quality standard as catalogue products. Metal thickness is adapted to the load and usage intensity. Welds are rounded and polished to prevent dirt accumulation in hard-to-reach corners. Closed profiles are used for wastewater system elements to prevent water accumulation in the structure. This approach ensures HACCP compliance and a long service life under intensive use conditions.
