Easy-assembly tables with sinks — a built-in sink in the work table structure provides a hygienic washing function directly in the preparation area, reducing movement and speeding up compliance with HACCP requirements in HoReCa kitchens.
Construction and technical parameters of sinks
Easy-assembly tables with sinks — the sinks are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, built into the tabletop, and their technical parameters affect functionality and use. Sink depth and dimensions — a standard HACCP sink is at least 150 mm deep (HACCP recommendation in some countries); a deeper sink (200–250 mm) ensures better water retention; width and length depend on the table size and number of sinks. One or two sinks — a table with one sink is suitable for a single function (food or hand washing); a table with two sinks — for two-stage washing (pre-wash and rinsing) or separate washing of meat and vegetables. Wastewater connection — the sink is connected to the drainage system via a siphon; check the location of the drainage connection before placing the table; mobile tables with sinks require a flexible hose for the water connection. Overflow and drainage — professional sinks have an overflow hole to prevent table flooding; the drainage siphon is easy to remove for cleaning. BHS offers tables with sinks across Europe.
HACCP hygiene requirements and the importance of sinks
Easy-assembly tables with sinks — the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) system sets mandatory hygiene points in a professional kitchen, and sinks are a critical element in this system. Hand-washing requirements — HACCP requires a separate hand-washing sink that is not used for food washing; there must be a hand-washing facility near the work area; a table with a built-in hand-washing sink can provide this function directly at the workstation. Food separation — meat, fish and vegetables must be washed separately; a table with two sinks allows each sink to be used for a different product category; a colour-coding system helps identify the purpose of the sinks. Pre-rinsing — before placing dishes in the dishwasher, they must be pre-rinsed; a table with a sink near the dishwasher speeds up the pre-rinsing process; reduces the number of dishwasher load cycles. Ease of cleaning — AISI 304 sinks have smooth, even surfaces; corners are rounded for easier cleaning; sinks are cleaned with standard kitchen cleaning agents; see tables with under-shelf.
Installation and water connection
Easy-assembly tables with sinks — the water and drainage connection must be planned before placing the table, as its location determines the table’s position in the kitchen. Water connection — a table with a sink requires a connection to cold or hot water (or both); standard flexible hose fittings; plan the water connection location in the kitchen before ordering. Drainage — wastewater is drained through a siphon into the drainage system; a flexible drainage connection allows slight table movement; a fixed drainage system requires a fixed table position. Assembly time — a water connection with flexible hoses allows easy-assembly tables with sinks to be installed in about 30 minutes; the drainage connection may require plumbing work if there is no flexible hose. BHS provides tables with sinks across Europe.

Hotel buffet kitchen with an additional preparation area — a table with a sink; hand-washing function directly at the preparation station. Catering company with off-site meal preparation — a table with a sink; mobile preparation station with water connection at the event location; BHS supplies the product. BHS supplies tables with sinks across Europe.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose a table with a sink if there is no drainage nearby? Easy-assembly tables with sinks — solutions with mobile water tanks and wastewater containers are available without a fixed drainage connection; such solutions are suitable for temporary spaces or events; a drainage connection is recommended for a permanent kitchen; see tables without shelf as an alternative.
How deep should a sink be to meet HACCP requirements? Easy-assembly tables with sinks — HACCP requirements do not specify a uniform minimum sink depth, but in practice, the sink must be deep enough (min. 150–200 mm) to prevent water splashing and effectively wash products and dishes; consult a HACCP consultant in your region for precise requirements; see tables with shelf.
