Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf for HoReCa kitchens — BHS offers stainless steel double pot sinks with two deep basins and a grid shelf for restaurants, cafés, hotels, canteens, hospitals and other HoReCa businesses: this model combines the efficiency of a two-stage washing process with the drainage advantage of a grid shelf — two basins ensure HACCP compliant separation of washing and rinsing, while the grid shelf beneath the basins provides immediate moisture runoff from freshly washed dishes, making this combination the optimal full-functionality washing station solution for large commercial kitchens.
See also Double Pot Sink with Shelf and Pot Sink with Grid for other configurations.
Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — two deep basins and a grid shelf together form a complete washing station with built-in HACCP compliant two-stage washing and maximum drainage functionality for HoReCa kitchens.
Double configuration with grid shelf — how it works
Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — this model combines two main elements: two basins and a grid shelf beneath them. Two-basin workflow — double pot sink with grid shelf washing: the large pot or pan is placed in the first basin, which contains hot water with detergent; rinsing: the washed dish is moved to the second basin with clean water; drying: placed on the grid shelf, where water drains through the grid. Full three-stage cycle in one station — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf this model ensures the entire HACCP three-stage protocol (washing, rinsing, drying) in one compact unit; the operator does not move dishes to another location for drying. Role of the grid shelf in drainage — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf moisture that falls through the grid is directed to a floor channel or collector; a floor channel next to the double pot sink with grid is a recommended kitchen layout detail. Station compactness — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf the entire washing cycle is concentrated in one piece; the number of movements for the operator is reduced; energy and time consumption are minimized.
Grid shelf compared to a solid shelf in a double sink
Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — the choice between a grid and a solid shelf depends on the moisture intensity in the washing area. Drainage advantage — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf the grid shelf provides immediate moisture runoff; in the solid shelf version, water collects and stagnates on the surface; in a wet pot-washing area, grids are more hygienic. Dish stability on the grid — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf large pots and pans rest stably on the grid; smaller items (utensils, small moulds) may fall through the grid; in the context of pot sinks, where mainly large dishes are washed, grids are suitable. Cleaning comparison — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf the grid is cleaned with a brush, which is more effective than scrubbing the corners of a closed shelf; the grid can be removed and washed separately in cases of heavier dirt. Selection recommendation — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf if the pot-washing area is highly wet or has a floor drainage system, choose a grid shelf; if the shelf is also intended for mixed (dry and wet) inventory, a solid shelf; see Double Pot Sink with Shelf.
HACCP compliance and hygiene
Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — HACCP compliant washing is a mandatory requirement for all commercial kitchens. Two-basin protocol and HACCP — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf HACCP requires physically separated washing and rinsing stages; the double sink with two independent mixer taps and basins provides this; in contrast to a single-basin sink, where the basin must be periodically emptied and refilled. Water temperature — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf the washing basin requires water at least 45°C; the rinsing basin HACCP regulations may specify specific requirements; consult a hygiene specialist regarding the specific establishment’s requirements. Post-work disinfection — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf at the end of a shift, disinfect both basins and the grid shelf with an approved disinfectant; removing the grid facilitates thorough cleaning; document disinfection cycles for HACCP record-keeping purposes. Staff training — Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf the double sink is equipment that requires knowledge of the correct washing workflow; training operators on the proper use of basins is part of the HACCP plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between a double pot sink with grid shelf and a double pot sink with shelf? Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — both models have identical two basins; the difference lies in the shelf type: the grid shelf provides moisture drainage and air circulation around washed dishes, while the solid shelf retains water on the surface; the grid is preferable in an intensive washing area; see also Pot Sink with Grid.
Does the double pot sink require special plumbing installation? Double Pot Sink with Grid Shelf — yes: two basins require two independent drainage connections or one common larger-diameter connection; water supply for both basins; a floor channel is recommended for grid moisture runoff; installation should be entrusted to a licensed plumber.
