Pre-Rinse Spray Unit

A pre-rinse spray unit uses a flexible high-flow spray head to remove loose food and heavy soil from plates, cookware, and utensils before machine washing.

Best Uses

Dishwashing stations, pot wash, banquet stewarding, cookware cleaning, and high-volume warewashing lines.

What to Look For

• Durable hose and spring support.
• Efficient spray pattern.
• Easy-clean nozzle.
• Mounting height suited to sink depth.

Correct Use

Scrape solids first, spray directly into the sink, avoid unnecessary water use, and clean the nozzle regularly.

Common Mistakes

• Using the sprayer instead of scraping food waste.
• Spraying outside the sink area.
• Ignoring leaks and worn hoses.

Chef’s Notes

Pre-rinsing should remove soil efficiently without wasting water or spreading contamination around the stewarding area.
