Sink BHS-HoReCa BHS-IZ-400/400/250

A stainless steel sink unit built for the demands of a professional kitchen, providing a dedicated space for washing, rinsing and food preparation. The bowl holds water at a depth that allows pots, pans and utensils to be fully submerged, while the surrounding worktop gives a stable surface for stacking and draining.

In a commercial sink of this type, the bowl is formed from a single sheet of stainless steel, pressed and welded to create a seamless, watertight container. The material resists corrosion from water, detergents and food acids, and does not absorb odours or stains. A smooth, rounded interior with no sharp corners makes cleaning straightforward and reduces the risk of trapped debris.

The operator fills the bowl with hot water and detergent, then loads items to be washed. After scrubbing, items are rinsed under a tap or in a separate sink, then placed on the adjacent worktop to drain. The flat rim around the bowl prevents water from spilling onto the floor, while the depth of 250 mm ensures that even tall items can be fully immersed without overflow.

Construction is a single stainless steel bowl with an integral worktop flange. The unit is supplied without tap holes, allowing the tap to be positioned to suit the kitchen layout. The overall footprint of 400 mm by 400 mm fits standard worktop depths and can be installed as a single bowl or paired with another unit to create a double sink configuration.

The 400 mm width and length provide enough space for large trays and baking sheets to be washed, while the 250 mm depth allows for soaking without splashing. The unit is moved into place by two people and secured to the worktop with clips or sealant to prevent movement during use.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service, then drying to prevent water marks. The seamless construction means there are no crevices where food particles can accumulate, and the material does not require seasoning or protective coatings.

The sink is classified as a single-bowl unit in the BHS catering equipment catalogue, under the worktop and sink section.
