Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is the CL4022 fabricated from?
A: The unit uses food-grade stainless steel compliant with CE commercial hygiene standards. Specific alloy grade is not disclosed by manufacturer but meets UK and EU food contact requirements.
Q: What is the maximum safe load capacity when both handles are used?
A: Design supports 8–10 kg of wet product when lifted by two operators. Exceeding this risks handle stress. Empty weight is approximately 1.2 kg.
Q: Can the colander rest inside standard commercial sink basins?
A: Yes. 400mm diameter fits most commercial single and double sink bowls. Verify sink internal dimensions before ordering if clearance is tight.
Q: Are replacement handles available if one becomes damaged?
A: Handles are welded to body and not sold separately. Full unit replacement required if handle fails. Contact for replacement pricing.
Q: Does the perforation pattern retain smaller grain items like rice or couscous?
A: No. Perforations are sized for vegetables, pasta, and fruit. Smaller grains will pass through. Use fine-mesh strainers for those items.
