Sink BHS-HoReCa BHS-IZ-500/500/250

A stainless steel sink unit built into the worktop provides a dedicated space for washing vegetables, rinsing utensils and cleaning equipment in a professional kitchen. The bowl holds water at the height of the work surface, letting staff fill and empty it without lifting containers above waist level. This reduces strain and keeps the surrounding area dry, as water drains directly back into the bowl rather than spilling across the counter.

The sink collects water in a single square basin that sits flush with the worktop. A rim around the top edge prevents splashes from escaping onto the surrounding surface, while the flat bottom allows items to rest without tipping. The depth of the bowl determines how much water it can hold at once, and the width sets the space available for stacking plates or arranging larger items side by side.

To use the sink, the operator turns on the tap above it, fills the bowl to the required level, and adds detergent if needed. Items are placed inside, scrubbed or rinsed, then lifted out and left to drain on the adjacent worktop or in a rack. When the task is finished, the plug is removed and the water drains through the outlet at the bottom of the bowl. The smooth stainless steel surface lets water flow away completely, leaving no standing pools that could harbour bacteria.

The unit is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, heat and impact. The material does not absorb odours or stains, and it withstands the frequent contact with water, detergents and food acids that occur in a busy kitchen. The edges are welded and ground smooth to eliminate crevices where dirt could collect, and the surface is polished to a satin finish that resists scratching and shows fewer fingerprints than a mirror polish.

The overall dimensions of 500 mm in length, width and height set the space the sink occupies on the worktop. The 500 mm width allows it to fit between standard worktop sections or alongside other equipment, while the 250 mm depth provides enough room for washing larger items without requiring an oversized footprint. The height matches the typical worktop level, ensuring the sink sits at a comfortable working position for staff of average height.

Cleaning involves wiping the bowl and rim with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use, then rinsing and drying to prevent water spots. The stainless steel surface can be sanitised with a food-safe disinfectant, and the drain should be checked regularly to ensure it remains clear of food debris. No additional maintenance is required beyond keeping the bowl and surrounding worktop free of standing water and food waste.
