Commercial Sinks to Tackle Any Job

Selecting the right commercial sinks for your restaurant, deli, bakery, cafeteria, or bar can help ensure that your team can operate efficiently and not get bogged down during prep, service or cleanup. Buying your sink through PCI Auctions gives you the opportunity to buy a high-quality commercial sink at a fraction of the cost of buying through other retail channels.

Commercial sinks come in a variety of designs to address different needs, from hand washing stations, to food prep and equipment cleanup. Sink options to consider for your business include; hand sinks, compartment sinks, bar sinks, drop-in and undermount sinks, portable sinks, mop sinks and disposal sinks. While these sinks are all made of stainless steel, the grade of stainless does make a difference, with 304 stainless steel offering greater durability and rust resistance than 430 stainless. The specific gauge of steel also makes a difference in the quality of the sink you buy. The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel used to make the sink, making a 14 gauge stainless steel sink higher quality and more durable than either a 16 gauge or 18 gauge stainless steel sink.

Compartment sinks come in one, two, three, and four compartment styles. Three compartment styles are often preferred, and in some instances required, to be able to easily support the division of washing, rinsing and sanitizing dishes in dishwashing stations. One and two compartment sinks provide options for food preparation and can be used in spaces where larger sinks are not an option, such as snack bars, cafes, concession stands, or food trucks. Compartment sinks often include built-in drainboards which are great for cleaning and draining produce or for managing dishes during cleaning.

Underbar sinks sit lower to the ground and are designed to be used in under counter environments, making it possible for bar staff to manage glassware without leaving the bar area. Underbar sinks are available in multi-compartment styles, and many incorporate drainboards to allow for barware and tools to air dry while remaining close at hand in case they are needed. Others include built-in ice bins to allow for efficient space utilization.

High-quality commercial sinks from recognized brands can provide years of reliable service. Recommended brands include Advance Tabco, Eagle Group, John Boos, Krowne, Mixrite, Regency, ServWare, Steelton, Universal.
