Sink / Vessel

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in food processing for ingredient preparation, washing, or temporary liquid storage.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical and chemical industries requiring hygienic liquid handling.
• Applicable in catering and hospitality for dishwashing or waste disposal.
• Utilised in laboratories for cleaning apparatus or containing experimental liquids.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres for smaller sinks up to several hundred litres for larger vessels.

Power supply

Units of this type are typically unpowered, relying on gravity for drainage. Any associated pumps or heating elements would require a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V.

Material construction

Most units are constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Drainage

Features a drainage hole, typically with a standard pipe diameter for connection to waste systems.

Footprint

Dimensions vary significantly; smaller sinks might be around 600x600mm, while larger vessels could exceed 1500x1000mm.

Mounting

Commonly freestanding with adjustable feet, or designed for integration into existing workbenches or processing lines.
