A Double Pot Sink with Frame is professional stainless steel kitchen equipment with two deep basins and a frame in the lower part — a simple, open construction with maximum washing capacity and easy maintenance. Two deep basins allow simultaneous washing and rinsing of large pots, pans and other oversized kitchenware, which is critical in a high-volume production kitchen. The open frame lower part makes the space underneath easily accessible, simplifying daily cleaning and preventing moisture build-up under the equipment. BHS offers this model as part of the Work Tables with Sinks and Basins range to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

A Double Pot Sink with Frame is professional washing equipment with two deep basins that enable simultaneous washing and rinsing of oversized kitchenware. The frame lower part provides an open and easily maintainable construction.
Use of double pot sinks
Two deep basins allow different washing stages to be carried out simultaneously — one basin is suitable for washing with detergent, the other for rinsing with clean water. This significantly speeds up the process of washing pots and large pans in a busy kitchen. The double configuration is also advantageous when a large amount of kitchenware needs to be washed at the same time — one basin is in use while the next items are soaking in the other. In large canteens and restaurants, a double pot sink significantly increases the throughput of the washing area.
Advantages of the frame lower part
A frame lower part without a shelf or doors is a lightweight and simple configuration that leaves the space underneath free. The open lower space makes daily cleaning under the equipment easier and ensures good air circulation, reducing moisture build-up. Compared to the Double Pot Sink with Shelf, the frame version is lighter and more accessible for regular maintenance. It is suitable for kitchens where cleaning under equipment is a high priority.
Durability of stainless steel
A double pot sink is subjected to heavy daily use — hot water, heavy equipment and aggressive cleaning chemicals. Stainless steel is a material that meets these requirements — corrosion-resistant, durable under heavy loads and safe for food contact. The smooth steel surface is easy to disinfect with standard food industry products, in compliance with sanitary regulations.
Large kitchens and industrial food preparation
Industrial-scale food preparation — hotel kitchens, canteens serving hundreds of meals a day, food production facilities — uses double pot sinks as essential washing area equipment. The simultaneous double washing capacity allows a high turnover of kitchenware without delays in the cleaning process. BHS helps the largest kitchens choose a double pot sink based on production volume and space configuration.
Choosing size and configuration
Double pot sinks with a frame are available in various widths — a larger model provides wider basins and more comfortable work with very large kitchenware. When choosing a model, consider the kitchen space width, the location of available water connections, and the required basin depth. BHS helps businesses plan the washing area and choose the most suitable configuration.
Hotel kitchens and the double pot sink
Hotel kitchens are among the most intensive commercial kitchens — hundreds of meals a day create a high turnover of pots and pans. A double pot sink is an essential element of the washing area in such kitchens, providing the capacity to wash large kitchenware in line with production volume. Two deep basins allow several pot-washing steps to be handled simultaneously in the washing area — one worker can soak items in the second basin while washing in the first. This significantly increases the productivity of the washing area during peak periods.
Installation and water connections
A double pot sink requires two separate drainage connections and water supply to both basins or a single central connection with a splitter. During installation, it is important to ensure sufficient drainage capacity, as a double sink can discharge a large amount of water simultaneously. By installing a partition valve in the main water supply line, the water pressure in both basins can be easily regulated. BHS provides advice on water system requirements.
Preventive maintenance and durability
Regular cleaning and disinfection in both basins maintain the required hygiene standards. Limescale deposits from hard water can form on the inner surfaces — weekly descaling with food industry-certified products is recommended. Regular inspection of drainage pipes prevents blockages that can occur from intensive use.
Frequently asked questions
Is a double sink better than a single one for washing pots?
Yes — a two-basin configuration allows simultaneous washing and rinsing, speeding up the process. BHS provides advice.
What basin depth is typical for a double pot sink?
Typically 40–50 cm, which ensures full immersion of the largest pots. BHS specifies exact dimensions.
