Industrial Stainless Steel Sink Module | DEA WorkLab | Hall Fast

Integrate professional-grade hand washing facilities into your workshop with the DEA WorkLab Industrial Stainless Steel Sink Module. This purpose-designed wash station brings hygienic convenience directly to your workstation, eliminating time-consuming trips to distant facilities while maintaining the premium aesthetic and build quality that defines the DEA WorkLab range.

Manufactured entirely in Italy by DEA, Europe's foremost workshop furniture specialist, this sink module exemplifies the precision engineering that has made DEA the supplier of choice for premium automotive manufacturers and demanding industrial operations worldwide.

The stainless steel sink basin is manufactured from high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, and the aggressive substances encountered in workshop environments. Unlike painted or coated alternatives that can chip, peel, or harbour bacteria in damaged areas, the seamless stainless steel construction maintains its hygienic properties throughout years of demanding use.

The sink is professionally integrated into a DEA modular cabinet unit, creating a self-contained wash station that aligns perfectly with other DEA WorkLab furniture. The cabinet base provides storage for cleaning supplies, hand towels, and hygiene products, keeping everything you need within easy reach while maintaining a tidy, professional appearance.

Heavy-gauge steel construction with fully welded joints creates an exceptionally rigid framework for the supporting cabinet structure. The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating on the cabinet body coordinates with all DEA WorkLab modules while providing comprehensive protection against workshop chemicals and mechanical wear.

Plumbing connections are accommodated through pre-cut openings that simplify installation and maintain a clean appearance. The module is designed for connection to standard water supply and waste systems, with provisions for both hot and cold water feeds.

Why Stainless Steel?

The choice of AISI 304 stainless steel for the sink basin reflects DEA's commitment to specifying materials that perform throughout the product's working life. Stainless steel offers distinct advantages in workshop environments:

Corrosion Resistance: Workshop environments expose surfaces to a wide range of aggressive substances—brake fluid, battery acid, cutting oils, degreasers, and cleaning chemicals. Stainless steel resists attack from these substances, maintaining its integrity where other materials would deteriorate.

Hygiene: The non-porous surface prevents bacteria, oils, and contaminants from penetrating the material. This makes stainless steel inherently hygienic and easy to clean—simply wipe down with appropriate cleaning solutions and the surface is ready for continued use.

Durability: Stainless steel withstands the physical demands of workshop use. Unlike ceramic or composite alternatives that can chip or crack if struck by tools or heavy objects, stainless steel absorbs impacts without damage.

Appearance: The bright, professional finish of stainless steel maintains its appearance over time. Unlike painted surfaces that can fade, yellow, or show wear patterns, stainless steel continues to look professional throughout the product's service life.

Temperature Resistance: Stainless steel handles both hot and cold water without thermal shock concerns. Parts that have been heated during service can be placed directly in the sink without risk of damage.

Bringing Hygiene to the Workstation

Modern workshop management recognises the importance of convenient hand washing facilities. When technicians must walk significant distances to reach washing facilities, hand washing becomes an inconvenience rather than a routine practice. The result is reduced hygiene compliance and increased risk of contamination.

Integrating a sink module directly into your workstation eliminates this barrier. Technicians can wash their hands immediately—between tasks, before handling sensitive components, after contact with chemicals, or simply when needed. The convenience promotes better hygiene habits without disrupting workflow.

This is particularly valuable in body shops and paint preparation areas where contamination control is critical. A sink at the workstation enables technicians to wash hands immediately before handling panels or applying coatings, reducing the risk of fingerprints, oils, or contaminants affecting finish quality.

Perfect for Storing

The base cabinet provides convenient storage for:

• Hand wash and sanitiser dispensers
• Paper towels and hand dryers
• Cleaning cloths and sponges
• Sink cleaning products
• Hand cream and barrier products
• Small parts cleaning supplies
• Brushes and scrubbing equipment
• First aid supplies
• Personal hygiene items
• Spare consumables

Installation Considerations

Planning a sink module installation involves several practical considerations:

Water Supply: The module requires connection to mains water supply. Consider whether hot water is required—many workshop applications function adequately with cold water only, simplifying installation. Where hot water is needed, proximity to existing hot water systems reduces installation complexity.

Waste Connection: The sink requires connection to appropriate drainage. Floor-level waste connections are typically straightforward; raised installations may require pumped waste systems.

Tap Selection: The module is supplied ready for tap installation. Select taps appropriate for your application—lever-operated taps enable operation with elbows when hands are dirty, while sensor-activated taps offer touch-free operation for maximum hygiene.

Positioning: Consider workflow when positioning the sink module. Locations at the end of workstation runs provide convenient access without interrupting the main work surface. Corner positions can maximise space utilisation.

Part of the DEA WorkLab Modular System

This sink module integrates seamlessly with DEA's comprehensive modular furniture range. Position it at the end of a workstation run, between cabinet modules, or as a standalone unit—the modular design provides complete flexibility.

Combine with overhead storage modules to create a complete wash station with space for towels, soap dispensers, and cleaning supplies above the sink. Add adjacent cabinet modules for additional storage, or integrate with worktops to create extended preparation surfaces.

The consistent anthracite grey finish coordinates with all DEA WorkLab products, enabling cohesive workshop furniture installations that project a professional image.

Built to DEA Standards

Every aspect of this module reflects DEA's commitment to quality. The stainless steel sink is integrated into a cabinet frame constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded joints—creating a rigid, stable structure that withstands years of workshop use.

The door features double-skin construction where two metal sheets are bonded together to create a panel of enhanced rigidity. Adjustable hinges enable precise alignment during installation, while the key-operated lock provides security for stored supplies.

Chrome-plated extruded aluminium handles combine ergonomic design with durability. Adjustable levelling feet ensure stable installation regardless of floor conditions, while pre-cut cable management provision simplifies the routing of any electrical connections.

Professional Finish

The anthracite grey polyester powder coating on the cabinet body is applied electrostatically and oven-cured, creating a smooth, hard-wearing surface that resists workshop chemicals and mechanical wear. The bright stainless steel sink provides a striking contrast against the anthracite cabinet, creating a professional appearance that enhances any workshop environment.
