POTWASHER vs. a 3-Compartment Pot Sink
A three-compartment pot sink costs little to install but consumes continuous labour and delivers operator-dependent hygiene. The CE-UWL trades upfront capital for recovered labour hours and repeatable 85 °C thermal sanitizing — and a backup sink is still required either way.
TL;DR comparison
| Factor | CE-UWL | 3-comp sink |
|---|---|---|
| Install cost | Higher | Low |
| Labour | Low | High |
| Hygiene | Consistent thermal | Operator-dependent |
Where the sink wins
Low capital, no power requirement, and it handles odd oversized items. Required as code backup anyway.
Where the POTWASHER wins
Recovered labour, consistent sanitizing, and faster throughput at steady volume.
Decision rule
Above ~1 hour/day of scrubbing, the machine pays back; keep the sink as backup.
Key takeaways
- Sink = low capital, high labour.
- Machine = capital for labour and hygiene.
- Keep a sink as code backup.
