Beschreibung
The Qaadir Plaster Sink for Plaster Work is a heavy-duty stainless steel sink unit designed specifically to support the rigorous demands of plaster mixing, pouring, and clean-up. Built to withstand frequent contact with water, plaster, and cleaning chemicals, this sink offers durability, hygiene, and useful features for plastering workflows.
Key Specifications & Features
-
Material: Entirely stainless steel construction, which resists corrosion, staining, and chemical damage.
-
Overall Dimensions: The unit’s full size is 1,200 mm × 600 mm (length × width) for the main sink surface.
-
Other dimension details: height, depth, and bowl configuration are specified in the product listing (sink-bowl depth/size etc.) to ensure compatibility with typical bench heights and caster or base layout.
-
Drain Board Option: There is a choice of having the drain board on the left or right side, which adds flexibility depending on room layout or workflow direction.
-
Design: Spacious work area for mixing or rinsing plaster tools; durable bowl(s) and edges shaped for easy draining and cleaning. Surfaces are smooth and built to avoid crevices where plaster could accumulate.
Why It’s Especially Good for Orthotic & Prosthetic Plaster Casting Rooms
Orthotic & prosthetic labs depend heavily on plaster casting for molds, impressions, corrections, and splints. Clean, reliable, efficient, and durable equipment makes a big difference. Here are the reasons this sink is a strong fit:
-
Hygiene, Clean-Up & Maintenance
-
Plaster work is messy: plaster dust, slurry, water, wet bandages/tools. A stainless steel sink is easy to clean, non-porous, and resists staining or etching by alkaline plaster or cleaning agents.
-
Drain boards help water, plaster wash-offs, and wet tools to dry or drain off properly without pooling, which keeps the casting area cleaner and safer.
-
Because surfaces are easy to sanitize, risk of cross-contamination between patient molds or tools is lower.
-
Workflow Efficiency
-
Having a large, dedicated sink for plaster work means tools, bowls, bandages, and mixing vessels can all be washed or prepared in a single place. This reduces walking time, speeds up switching between steps of plaster casting (mixing → applying → cleaning).
-
The option to choose the side for the drain board (left or right) helps align the sink with the rest of the bench setup for efficient flow of work (e.g., prep, casting, then cleaning) consistent with room layout.
-
The size (1200 × 600 mm) gives enough workspace for multiple tools or more than one technician during casting or cleaning phases.
-
Durability in Harsh Plaster Conditions
-
Plaster casting involves exposure to moisture, alkaline materials, abrasives, and frequent cleaning. Stainless steel resists rust, corrosion, and damage under those conditions better than many other materials (wood, mild steel without protection, or plastic).
-
The sink bowl(s) and edges are built to handle impact, wear, and regular use of water splashing, pouring, or rinsing molds.
-
Safety & Ergonomics
-
Proper drainage reduces the risk of water pooling or plaster residue on floors—important to avoid slips and falls in areas where staff are moving and often wearing work shoes.
-
A sink sized for bench height or with appropriate positioning reduces strain on the back and shoulders when lifting molds or cleaning tools, compared to low or poorly arranged sinks.
-
Smooth edges and stainless surfaces reduce risk of injury from sharp corners or rough surfaces where plaster debris might accumulate.
-
Quality of Molds & Casts
-
Cleaner tools and bowls mean less unwanted plaster contamination or particles affecting the mold finish.
-
Quick and effective rinsing ensures better plaster consistency, less lumping or curing artifacts.
-
A well-designed sink helps preserve the integrity of impression materials and bandages (removing excess plaster without damage).
