Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: A truly all-in-one solution that works straight out of the box.
  • Cons: The 15-litre tank may require frequent refilling during very busy events.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Bristol-based 'The Curry Crate', a popular pop-up at food markets, needed a reliable hygiene solution that could keep up with their fast-paced service and  meet stringent council requirements. Their old cold-water-only setup was no longer sufficient, especially for winter events.

"The Parry MWBTA has been brilliant. We can set it up in minutes, the water heats up in no time, and  it’s a breeze to clean. The health inspector was thoroughly impressed at our last market, which gives us huge peace of mind. It just works."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Curry Crate

The unit enabled The Curry Crate to achieve a 5-star hygiene rating consistently and  reduced their setup time by 15 minutes each day.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a flat, stable surface before filling.
  • Fill the main water container with fresh, clean water up to the 15-litre mark.
  • Place the smaller waste water receptacle securely in its designated slot.
  • Plug the 13-amp plug into a suitable power socket and  switch on to begin heating.

Keeping It Going

  • Empty the waste water container regularly to prevent overflows.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Refill the water tank with fresh water at the start of each day's service.
  • In hard water areas, periodically descale the water tank to maintain heating efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Mobile Hand Wash Unit for Catering

Not sure which portable sink is right for your setup? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Capacity vs. Portability

Think about how busy you are. A larger tank like this 15-litre model means fewer refills, but might be heavier. Match the capacity to your expected footfall.

Heating Speed

A 3kW element provides hot water quickly, which is crucial during busy periods. Check the power rating to ensure you won't be left waiting for water to heat up.

Method of Operation

Foot pumps offer excellent hygiene as they are completely hands-free. This is often preferred by health inspectors over manual taps.

Build Quality

For mobile use, stainless steel is king. It's tough enough to handle being moved around and  is incredibly easy to keep hygienically clean.

All-in-One Solution

Look for units that come with accessories like soap and  towel dispensers. This saves you sourcing them separately and  ensures a tidy, professional setup.

How a Clever Cut-Out Prevents Costly Breakdowns

Ever accidentally switched on a kettle with no water in it? The Parry MWBTA has a smart feature called a 'pressure cut-out' to prevent a similar, but much more expensive, problem. In simple terms, this system detects if the water tank is empty and  automatically cuts power to the heating element. This stops it from burning out, which could otherwise lead to a costly repair and  frustrating downtime. It's like a built-in safety guard, ensuring your portable handwashing station lasts longer and  operates safely, even when things get hectic.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Mobile Food Vendors: Perfect for food trucks and  trailers needing to meet hygiene laws at any location.
  • Market Stall Holders: Offer samples or handle food safely with a compact, portable hand washing sink.
  • Outdoor Event Planners: Provide essential hygiene facilities for staff and  vendors at festivals, fairs, and  country shows.
  • Construction & Site Managers: A vital welfare unit for temporary sites without access to mains water or plumbing.
