Guide to Warewashing & Janitorial Equipment
Key Features and Benefits
Agitated Cleaning Action
The defining feature of a power sink is
its ability to create controlled turbulence
within the wash bay. By circulating hot
water and detergent at high velocity, the
system mechanically assists in breaking
down stuck-on food — especially starches,
proteins, and sauces — that would normally
require extensive scrubbing.
Labour Savings
With a power sink, staff can load items
and walk away for a set time while
the unit does the heavy lifting. This
frees up valuable labour during peak
periods, especially in prep kitchens or
commissaries where pots and utensils
accumulate quickly.
Versatility
These sinks can handle a wide range
of items: stockpots, hotel pans, cutting
boards, baking trays, mixing attachments,
and smallwares. Because the wash
process is gentle, even more delicate
wares can be cleaned without damage.
Compact Footprint
Most power sinks are modular and
freestanding, taking up the same footprint
as a traditional three-compartment
sink. This makes them ideal for tight
kitchens or facilities without the
electrical and plumbing capacity for large
warewashing machines.
