Structural leaks: Leaks from the stainless structure and not from drain fittings signify a sink will need replacing. If the leak comes from a drain fitting, it is most likely a seal leak that can be repaired by a plumber. If leaking is from the stainless structure, including the corners, bottom of the bowl or where the sink bowls meets drain boards, replace the sink.
Sanitation and Safety Guides
Consultant Q&A: Steve Waltz, senior associate/project manager, Cini-Little International Inc., Baltimore
When used properly, sinks wash dirt and other contaminants from food before preparation.
Water filters not only provide better-tasting beverages but can also prolong the service life for a wide range of equipment types.
When determining what type of waste collection system suits their businesses, foodservice operators can choose from a variety of options in terms of size and function. These systems can be as small as an under-sink garbage disposer or a big remote pulping system that includes a built-in grinder to send trash through pipes with water to create a sludge for disposal.
