Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose stainless steel equipment for commercial kitchens?
Stainless steel kitchen tables, prep tables, and work tables are ideal for high-use environments because they are strong, resistant to corrosion, and easy to clean. These qualities make them perfect for food processing, hospitality, and catering operations. Richmond’s range includes stainless steel work tables, benches, racks, and models with integrated sinks, all designed for reliable hygiene and durability.
What stainless steel grades are available?
Richmond offers stainless steel equipment in grades 304, 201, and 316. Grade 304 is the most common for commercial kitchens due to its durability and corrosion resistance. Grade 316 provides enhanced resistance to harsh cleaning agents and saline conditions, making it ideal for hospitals and high-moisture environments. Grade 201 is a cost-effective choice for lighter-duty use where hygiene and performance remain important.
Can the tables and benches be customised?
Yes. Richmond provides customisable stainless steel kitchen tables, benches, and prep stations. Options include fully welded or flat-packed models, adjustable shelves, height-adjustable legs, and castor compatibility for mobility. Customers can also choose designs with integrated sinks, splashbacks, or undershelves to suit specific kitchen or production needs.
How do you maintain stainless steel kitchen equipment?
Maintenance is simple with stainless steel. Clean regularly using warm water and mild detergent to prevent grease and residue build-up. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches, and always rinse and dry thoroughly to reduce water spots. In busy commercial kitchens, using food-safe sanitising products ensures hygiene compliance. With proper care, stainless steel equipment provides years of dependable service.
