Novameta BHS-VRO-160/70/90 prep table with integrated sink

A stainless steel worktop with an integrated sink streamlines the transition from food preparation to dishwashing in a busy kitchen. The continuous surface allows plates, utensils and pans to slide directly into the sink without lifting, reducing handling and saving steps between the pass and the dishwasher rack.

The worktop acts as both a staging area and a washing station. One side receives soiled items from the pass or from adjacent workstations; the other side holds cleaned items ready for stacking in the dishwasher rack. The sink itself is positioned so that water drains away from the clean side, keeping it dry and hygienic. A single tap mounted above the sink supplies hot and cold water for rinsing and pre-washing, while the sloped base of the sink bowl accelerates drainage and prevents pooling.

To use the unit, soiled items are placed on the worktop near the sink. The operator rinses or scrapes each item under the tap, then slides it into the sink bowl for a final rinse if needed. Once the bowl is full, items are transferred directly to the dishwasher rack positioned at the end of the worktop. The continuous stainless steel surface eliminates the need for separate trays or trolleys, cutting down on clutter and cross-contamination.

Construction is fully welded stainless steel throughout, including the worktop, sink bowl and supporting frame. The worktop measures 1600 mm in length, 700 mm in width and stands 900 mm high, matching standard kitchen worktop heights for comfortable standing use. The sink bowl is integrated into the worktop without seams, preventing water ingress and simplifying cleaning.

No electrical controls are fitted; the unit relies on manual operation of the tap for water supply. The worktop surface is plain and unperforated, allowing easy wiping and sanitising after each service.

The 1600 mm length provides ample space for staging both soiled and clean items simultaneously, reducing congestion during peak service. The 700 mm width fits within standard kitchen aisles while still offering enough depth to hold a full rack of dishes. The 900 mm height aligns with adjacent worktops and hobs, creating a continuous workflow.

Cleaning is straightforward: the tap is turned off, the sink bowl is emptied, and the entire surface is wiped down with a sanitising solution. The seamless construction prevents dirt from accumulating in joints, and the stainless steel resists corrosion from water and detergents. Regular descaling of the tap and sink bowl keeps water flow unimpeded.

The unit is supplied as a single piece, with no variants or additional modules. It is designed to stand on its own legs without requiring wall mounting, allowing flexible placement within the kitchen layout.
