Commercial Stainless Steel Sinks from China
PRIME Commercial Equipment helps international buyers source commercial stainless steel sinks, including single bowl sinks, double bowl sinks, three compartment sinks, drainboard sinks, hand wash sinks and custom washing stations for restaurants, hotels, central kitchens and foodservice projects.
Confirm bowl, top, backsplash, legs and undershelf material by project.
Match washing flow, available space and local operating requirements.
Balance installation strength, packing volume and export freight.
Coordinate bowl dimensions, drainboards, faucet holes and backsplash.
Commercial Sink Series
Choose the sink layout around the washing process
Commercial stainless steel sinks may look similar in a catalogue, but bowl size, steel thickness, drainboard direction, backsplash height, leg structure and packing method can produce very different quotations.
PRIME coordinates the product details before quotation so suppliers compare the same configuration rather than quoting only a general product name.
Product Types
Commercial stainless steel sink configurations
Start with the washing function, available installation space and number of operating steps. Each sink type can then be adjusted in material, dimensions, bowl depth, drainboard structure and accessories.
Type 01
Single Bowl Commercial Sinks
Compact sinks for smaller washing areas, vegetable preparation, utensil cleaning or dedicated task stations.
Type 02
Double Bowl Commercial Sinks
Two-bowl layouts for separating washing and rinsing, food preparation and cleaning, or two parallel working tasks.
Type 03
Three Compartment Sinks
Three separated bowls commonly used to organize washing, rinsing and sanitizing steps in commercial dishwashing areas.
Type 04
Commercial Sinks with Drainboards
Single-side or double-side drainboards provide space for sorting, draining, staging and temporary utensil placement.
Type 05
Commercial Hand Wash Sinks
Compact hygiene stations for kitchens, preparation areas, service counters, food factories and staff washing points.
Type 06
Custom Stainless Steel Washing Stations
Project-built washing units with deep bowls, overhead shelves, pre-rinse faucets, utensil hooks, splash guards and integrated work surfaces.
Material Selection
SUS 304 vs SUS 201 for commercial sinks
Material should be confirmed by operating environment, market expectation, budget and the exact parts made from each grade. A quotation should state whether the sink bowl, top panel, backsplash, legs and undershelf use the same material.
| Comparison point | SUS 304 stainless steel | SUS 201 stainless steel | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical positioning | Higher corrosion resistance and common choice for demanding commercial foodservice projects | More cost-oriented option for suitable indoor applications | Confirm target market and cleaning environment |
| Quotation clarity | Ask whether all contact and structural parts are 304 | Ask whether 201 is used only for legs, shelves or the full unit | Request a material breakdown by component |
| Surface condition | Confirm finish, protective film and welding treatment | Confirm finish and storage protection during transport | Use reference samples or approved photos |
| Best practice | Do not approve only the phrase “stainless steel sink.” | Specify grade, thickness and component scope in the order | |
Specification Focus
Details that change the quotation and finished product
Commercial stainless steel sinks are fabricated products. Clear specification control is therefore more important than selecting only a catalogue picture.
Bowl Dimensions
Confirm inside width, front-to-back size, depth, radius and spacing between bowls.
Steel Thickness
Clarify top panel, bowl, backsplash, leg tube and undershelf thickness separately.
Drainboards
Define left, right or double-sided layout, rib pattern, slope and edge structure.
Backsplash
Confirm height, folded edge, wall gap, side splashes and mounting requirements.
Faucet Preparation
Specify faucet holes, deck-mounted or wall-mounted faucet and pre-rinse unit requirements.
Drain System
Confirm outlet diameter, basket strainer, overflow, waste pipe and local connection needs.
Frame Structure
Review leg tube size, cross bracing, undershelf, adjustable feet and working height.
Export Packing
Choose assembled, knock-down, carton, pallet or wooden-frame packing by freight plan.
Buyer Checklist
