In a professional kitchen, where the scale of cooking is significantly different from home cooking, special equipment must be installed to ensure the well-coordinated work of staff. In this article we will talk about such a subject as bathroom sinks. They are designed for washing a large number of dishes and meet all the requirements of sanitization. Also, washing bathrooms are designed for sanitary and hygienic standards. There are special GOSTs that regulate the parameters of this equipment.
Washing bathrooms are used in the kitchens of catering establishments (restaurants, cafes, canteens, and so on) for washing all kinds of used dishes, including large containers. They are also used to defrost frozen poultry or fish, vegetables and other foods.
Bathroom washing are three- and two-section. They are made from stainless steel (food grade). Edges and corners must be rounded so that personnel are not injured during work through negligence. The sides of the bathroom are made with the expectation of a faucet insert. Some models immediately have a hole for it in the center. For example, a 2-section washing bathtub involves the insertion of two mixers. But some install one crane for two sections. A 3-section washing bath is equipped according to the same principle. In order to prevent splashes from water from falling on the wall, a wall board is made that fits snugly against its surface. By itself, the frame of this equipment is made of galvanized metal. Legs can be adjusted in height. Therefore, floor unevenness does not matter. The kit usually includes a drain siphon, as well as a lattice shelf for storing kitchen utensils and detergents. In addition, washing bathrooms are equipped with a food waste grinder. This mechanism works as follows: the garbage crushed in the device goes down the drain along with water. This significantly saves staff time.
Washing tubs can be seamless, with a working surface, and are also classified by the number of sections. The tightness of the connection areas and the strength of the structure are determined by the technology and quality of manufacture of this equipment. If desired, the dimensions, number of sections and the location of the drain may vary.
Depending on the production technology of the bowl (washing tank), bathtubs are divided into the following types:
- Welded.
- Seamless bath tubs.
The latter differ from welded ones in the absence of seams, which eliminates leakage. Also, the most important advantage isthe fact that such bathroom sinks do not have corners. And it is very convenient for the staff. In addition, this type of equipment fully complies with sanitary and hygienic standards. Drawn tub sinks are cleaned faster of cooking residue.
In addition to the equipment described in this article, industrial kitchens are equipped with dishwashers with a wash cycle of up to one minute.
