Non-standard Solutions for the Dishwashing Area

Non-standard Solutions for the Dishwashing Area are custom stainless steel products manufactured to precisely match a specific kitchen space and workflow requirements. Each non-standard solution is designed in collaboration with the client, considering room dimensions, existing equipment placement, and tray systems. This approach ensures optimal dishwashing area organisation.

When non-standard solutions are needed

Non-standard dishwashing equipment is necessary when room dimensions or configuration do not allow the installation of standard furniture ranges. Older buildings with irregular wall angles, columns in the dishwashing area, or connections to other systems may require specially manufactured solutions. During modernisation, when new equipment must align with existing infrastructure, non-standard solutions may be the only option.

Design process

Designing a non-standard solution begins with a detailed space analysis and measurement. The type of tray system, dishwasher placement, drainage system layout, and staff movement paths are determined. Based on this data, a custom design is developed to precisely meet all requirements. BHS helps the client understand the possibilities and limitations of non-standard solutions.

Material selection

Non-standard dishwashing area equipment is made from the same food-grade stainless steel as standard range furniture. This ensures the same hygiene compliance, durability, and longevity, only in a different shape or size. Material compliance with HACCP requirements is mandatory for non-standard products.

Comparison with the standard range

Before ordering a non-standard solution, always assess whether the standard furniture range from the Stainless Steel Furniture for the Dishwashing Area collection meets the requirements. Standard furniture is available faster and usually at a lower cost. Choosing a non-standard solution is justified only when the standard range does not provide the necessary functional or spatial conformity. BHS helps objectively evaluate needs.

Lead times and production duration

The production time for non-standard solutions is longer than for standard furniture—the planning, design, and manufacturing process can take several weeks. Complex projects with multiple elements may require more time. It is advisable to plan non-standard equipment in advance and begin collaboration with BHS during the space renovation or modernisation planning phase.

Cost considerations

Non-standard solutions typically cost more than standard range furniture due to individual design and production costs. However, when standard furniture does not fit the space, non-standard solutions allow for optimal dishwashing equipment, increasing long-term work efficiency. The cost justification is based on evaluating benefits over the entire service life.

Installation and coordination

Installing non-standard solutions requires careful coordination with other renovation or modernisation work. The installation sequence must align with the readiness of existing infrastructure—drainage, water supply, and electrical systems.

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance of non-standard solutions is no different from standard furniture—it includes regular disinfection and visual inspection. More complex shapes or hard-to-reach surfaces may require specialised cleaning tools. BHS provides maintenance instructions and recommendations for each custom non-standard solution.

Stainless steel longevity

Stainless steel ensures the same durability for non-standard solutions as for standard range furniture for many years without corrosion or wear. The investment in a non-standard solution is justified by its service life and the work efficiency gained. BHS guarantees material quality regardless of the product’s shape or size.

Documentation of non-standard solutions

Documentation obtained during the development of a non-standard solution—drawings, specifications, material sheets—is an important tool for execution control and a reference for future maintenance. Documentation ensures that the manufactured product matches the ordered solution and allows comparison of the result with the parameters agreed upon during the design phase. Detailed documentation also facilitates future maintenance and potential expansions if the kitchen is modernised later. BHS retains design documentation for each non-standard solution.

Risk management in non-standard projects

Non-standard solution projects involve greater risk than ordering standard products, so careful risk management is essential. Key risks include non-conformity with expected dimensions, structural issues with drainage or tray system integration, and material delivery delays. These risks are mitigated by detailed design, precise space measurement, and order confirmation before production begins. BHS uses a standardised acceptance process to minimise risks in non-standard projects.

Adaptability to future needs

When planning a non-standard solution, it is advisable to consider options for future adaptations—such as changing tray systems, increasing capacity, or reconfiguring equipment. A modular approach to non-standard design can provide broader adaptability than a fully monolithic solution. Discussing future development scenarios during the design phase is an investment in long-term economic efficiency. BHS participates in the client’s long-term planning to ensure the non-standard solution remains functional in the future.

Quality control in manufacturing

In non-standard manufacturing, quality control is performed individually for each product, not through batch inspection. Each manufactured element is checked against the parameters specified in the design—dimensions, connection precision, and surface finish quality. Material thickness and compliance with food industry stainless steel standards are mandatory control points. BHS provides a quality control protocol for each non-standard solution in accordance with HACCP requirements.
