While stainless steel in-line washers can be customised according to the customer's specific requirements, for MINERALCAST this flexibility can be dispensed with. In order to be able to press this material, expensive moulds are required, which usually do not allow individual production for economic reasons.

Conclusion: Wash troughs are indispensable in commercial and public areas thanks to their numerous advantages over individual washing areas. In addition to the aspect of optimal space utilisation, they are characterised by simple installation as well as jointless construction and the associated easy cleaning.
