Drawer Blocks

Drawer blocks — drawers are an essential part of a well-organised professional kitchen; without drawers, small items end up on the worktop or get lost, slowing down work and creating a chaotic work environment; stainless steel drawer blocks are durable, hygienic and meet the requirements of HoReCa kitchens.

Design and dimensions of drawer blocks

Drawer blocks — a drawer block consists of a body with multiple drawers that slide in and out. Number of drawers — a typical drawer block has 2–4 drawers; more drawers = shallower; fewer drawers = deeper and more spacious. Runners and guides — drawers slide on stainless steel or plastic runners; high-quality models feature ball-bearing runners for smoother movement and greater load capacity. Stop mechanism — many models include a stop mechanism to prevent the drawer from falling out completely; see easy-assembly stainless steel furniture. BHS supplies drawer blocks across Europe.

Integration with worktables and cabinets

Drawer blocks — drawer blocks can be combined with other stainless steel furniture in a unified kitchen furniture system. Installation under the worktop — a drawer block can be installed under a worktable as an independent element or as a built-in part; easy access to drawers during work from the worktop side. Combination with cabinets — a drawer block combined with cabinets with doors provides a full storage system; see tables with doors. Mobile drawer blocks — some models with wheels allow the drawer block to be moved between workstations.

HACCP requirements for cleaning drawer blocks

Drawer blocks — drawers in the kitchen can accumulate food residues and must be cleaned regularly. Removing drawers for cleaning — high-quality drawers are fully removable from the block; this allows cleaning both the drawer itself and the internal guides; full removability is important for HACCP compliance. Regular disinfection — drawers should be cleaned at least once a week; more frequent cleaning is needed if the drawer stores food or tools that come into contact with food. Organising contents — keeping the contents of the drawer organised speeds up work and allows a quick check that everything is clean; BHS supplies drawer blocks.
