2 Compartment Sinks
Two-compartment sinks are a staple in commercial kitchens where efficiency and cleanliness go hand in hand. Designed with two separate basins, they provide a flexible workspace that supports a variety of food prep and cleaning tasks. One side can be used for rinsing or soaking, while the other is ideal for washing produce, thawing frozen foods, or scrubbing cookware. This separation of tasks helps maintain hygiene standards and streamlines daily operations.
In dishwashing setups, a two-compartment sink offers a straightforward system that aligns with many health department regulations. Typically, you’ll wash in the first compartment and rinse in the second before moving items to a commercial dishwasher or a dedicated sanitizing sink, depending on your setup. Always refer to your local codes to ensure you're meeting sanitation requirements—especially when it comes to food-contact surfaces.
Material quality matters in a workhorse like this. Most commercial sinks are made of stainless steel and carry NSF certification to guarantee food safety compliance. The thickness of the steel is also important: 14-gauge stainless is heavy-duty and ideal for high-traffic use, while 18-gauge is lighter and more affordable for kitchens with lower volume. You’ll also see options in 304-grade stainless, known for its corrosion resistance, or 430-grade, which offers cost savings for less demanding applications.
