Heelguard offers a range of stainless-steel drainage solutions tailored for the rigorous conditions of commercial kitchens. Here’s an overview of their key products and their applications:
- Tundishes: An essential component in commercial kitchens, designed to provide an air break between the drain line and the sewer system. This helps prevent backflow and splashes. They are typically used under sinks and appliances where there is a need to discharge wastewater safely.
- Vinyl Lock: The Vinyl Lock system is designed to integrate seamlessly with vinyl flooring, ensuring a secure and watertight seal around the drain. This is particularly important in commercial kitchens where flooring must be kept dry and free from standing water to prevent slips and maintain hygiene. The Vinyl Lock system ensures that water is efficiently directed into the drainage system, maintaining a clean and safe kitchen environment.
- Flexi Drain: Flexi Drain provides a versatile and easy-to-install drainage solution for commercial kitchens. Its flexible design allows it to be adapted to various configurations, making it suitable for complex kitchen layouts. Flexi Drain ensures efficient water flow and is ideal for areas with high foot traffic and heavy water usage.
- Heavy Duty Trench Grates: Heavy Duty Trench Grates are designed to handle the high volume of water and waste typical in commercial kitchens. These grates are robust and durable, capable of withstanding heavy loads and frequent cleaning. They are perfect for installation in floor areas where large amounts of water need to be quickly and effectively drained, such as near dishwashing stations and food preparation areas.
- Bratt Pans: While traditionally referring to the large cooking appliances used in commercial kitchens, the term “bratt pans” here refers to the drainage solutions associated with these appliances. Effective drainage around bratt pans is essential to prevent water accumulation and ensure a clean, safe cooking environment. Heelguard provides specialised drainage systems to accommodate the high liquid output from bratt pans.
