Three Compartment Sinks

If you’re looking for a good way to boost efficiency and improve workflow in the commercial kitchen or bar, consider investing in a three-compartment commercial sink. Unlike your standard one- or two-compartment sink, a three-bay sink lets you do three tasks in a single station. Most often, these sinks are used for rinsing, washing and sanitizing. But they can also be used for food prep, hand-washing, dishwashing, cleaning and other essential kitchen tasks as long as they’re NSF safe. CKitchen makes it simple to find the perfect three-compartment sink for your needs, kitchen size and budget, with styles by all of the industry’s best.

Here you’ll find the right three compartments stainless steel commercial kitchen sink for your unique needs. All of these sinks are constructed from durable, reliable and easy-to-clean stainless steel. But stainless steel comes in different gauges, ranging from 12 to 18. Interestingly, it’s the lower-gauge steels — especially that of 14-guage stainless steel sinks — that have the highest quality. These sinks are thick, durable and resistant to rust and corrosion. For more economical purposes, we have 12-guage, 16-guage and 18-guage stainless steel sinks that are more affordable and may be more appropriate for soft water applications.

Our sinks come in a wide range of different styles, from large-scale utility sinks for cleaning (many of which are non-NSF and should not be used in food environments) to small triple sink units and drop-in styles that can be installed in a bar or counter. The three-compartment sink structure may be finished with a drainboard on the left, right or both sides of the sink for extra workspace. We also carry a range of sink accessories, including drains and faucets, to help you create the perfect sink for your kitchen or food prep area. We’re sure that you’ll find the perfect triple sink for sale at CKitchen no matter your needs or budget.

Three Compartment Sinks by Material

Stainless steel is the medium of choice for many restaurant equipment manufacturers, and for good reason: It's durable and reliable. The different types of stainless steel are determined by the crystalline structure of the steel itself, and these differences in structure can determine the steel’s durability and resistance to corrosion. Your sinks are likely made of stainless steel, so ensure that you’re getting the most from your units by investing in the right stainless steel type.

Compartment sinks can come with a variety of accouterments or extras to suit any kitchen. With drainboards flanking your sink, you can dry dishes or simply have extra table space. Some drainboards come pre-installed while others can be added to your existing unit. Choose from sinks without drainboards, with one drainboard on either side, or with drainboards on both ends.
