Prewash Table NN78 for Professional Kitchens

A prewash table removes food debris and grease from plates, pans and utensils before they enter the dishwasher. The NN78 model from BHS provides a dedicated worktop and sink station where kitchen staff scrape, rinse and stack items, preventing clogged wash arms and extending the life of detergent. The table holds a deep stainless steel sink supplied with running water. A tap directs a steady stream onto soiled items, loosening dried-on residue without soaking. The operator stands at the worktop, scrapes large waste into a bin beneath, then rinses each piece under the tap before placing it on the adjacent rack or directly into the dishwasher rack. The sink's depth and sloped base allow water to drain freely, reducing standing water that can harbour bacteria. Use follows a simple sequence. The operator turns on the tap, adjusts flow and temperature, then loads the sink with soiled items. After scraping and rinsing, items are transferred to the dishwasher rack. The worktop provides space to organise stacks of plates, cutlery and pans, keeping the workflow continuous and reducing trips to the main wash station. Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of sanitising. The worktop measures 1600 mm wide, offering ample space for stacking and sorting. The sink basin is 600 mm wide, 450 mm deep and 250 mm high, dimensions that accommodate large trays and stock pots without crowding. The overall unit stands 900 mm high, matching standard worktop heights in professional kitchens. The tap is the only control; it mixes hot and cold water to the desired temperature and flow rate. No electrical supply or additional plumbing is required beyond standard water connections. The 1600 mm worktop width allows two operators to work side by side during peak service, reducing bottlenecks. The 900 mm height matches adjacent counters, allowing seamless transfer of items. The stainless steel surface resists heat, stains and impact, and can be wiped down between services without damage. The sliding waste chute directs scraps straight into the integrated trough, keeping the work surface clear while pre-soaking pots and pans. The sink and worktop are wiped with a sanitising solution after each service. The tap and water outlets are descaled periodically to prevent mineral build-up. The sloped sink base and drain ensure no water pools, reducing the risk of bacterial growth. The NN78 is a single model with no variants. It is placed in the catalogue under Prewash Stations and Work Tables.
