ERA water mixer with shower MONOLITH

Single-hole mixers in professional kitchens

In restaurant and catering kitchens, water delivery must be fast, precise and adapted to intensive workflows. Single-hole kitchen mixers with a spray head provide a dynamic water stream that helps work with large pots, pans and various containers. These mixers are often installed in sinks where quick rinsing, washing vegetables, cleaning equipment and preparation tasks take place.

The ERA series of single-hole mixers with a spray head is often chosen for its simple installation, ergonomic shape and steady flow control. They integrate well into busy hot kitchens and prep areas. Stable temperature and flow control help maintain speed even when the mixer is frequently adjusted.

Main advantages of the ERA series

ERA mixers are typically made with stainless steel and brass components that offer durability and resistance to corrosion. The flexible spray head makes it easy to rinse surfaces, dishes and food items quickly, allowing work from different angles. The control mechanism runs smoothly, and the ergonomic handle gives reliable grip even with wet hands.

Temperature and flow control remain easy to manage, which is essential in daily operations. The spray mode is optimised for fast rinsing without unnecessary water consumption. ERA mixers have a simple, functional design that fits well into professional kitchen environments.

What to check before buying

Before choosing, it is important to check the size and depth of the sink, as the movement range of the spray head determines working comfort. Compatibility with the existing water system is essential, especially in kitchens that use higher water pressure. The handle movement and precision of control also affect working speed.

A practical selection includes comparing hose quality, structural stability and overall maintenance requirements. In intensive workflows, ergonomics strongly influence efficiency, so good handle form and freedom of movement are crucial.

• Hose length suitable for sink depth and working area
• Rotation angle and range of movement
• Precision of flow control
• Strength of the mounting mechanism for long-term use

Cleaning and operational specifics

In professional kitchens, the mixer head and handle are frequently exposed to moisture, oils and food residues. Simple daily cleaning helps maintain smooth water flow and reduce limescale build-up. After busy work periods, wiping and rinsing is usually enough to keep hygiene standards.

Spray inserts may clog due to hard water, so periodic rinsing of the head helps maintain the flow. Metal and plastic parts are best cleaned with mild detergents to protect the surfaces. Regularly checking hose movement helps detect wear in time.
