The professional kitchen requires specific solutions

The design of a professional kitchen requires extreme optimization of the dishwashing areas, especially the sinks and sinks. The faucets and sanitary appliances found in professional kitchens, canteens, fish stores and the food industry must withstand intensive use. Thus, they must be durable and extremely reliable. Which kitchen faucet or sanitary appliance should you choose to meet these requirements?

Restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment must meet the most stringent requirements, especially during peak hours when the kitchen is under pressure. During these peak times, it happens all too often that faucet levers, for example, are operated by bumping pots or pans in order to open or close the faucet. Faucets and plumbing fixtures must therefore be designed to be functional and able to withstand high loads. In particular, the mechanisms and operating handles of the faucet work must be able to withstand shock and impact, by using bakelite handles, for example.

Resistant interior and spout

Another challenge in professional kitchen equipment is that the equipment is often faced with high hot water temperatures, up to 90° C. It is therefore important to equip faucet mechanisms with specific internals, made of lime-resistant or even rust-resistant materials, to withstand these high temperatures. The spouts must also be able to withstand a great deal. Both type and thickness of material play a crucial role here. Generally, these are made of brass, and to ensure good resistance to shock, it is recommended that the spout be at least 1 to 1.5 millimeters thick.
