The SDB55 is a 55-litre stainless steel waste bin for commercial kitchens, prep areas, and hospitality service zones. It handles continuous-use disposal in environments requiring hygiene compliance and corrosion resistance. Kitchen staff operate it throughout service and prep shifts where frequent waste throughput demands durable, cleanable construction.
Commercial Application
Commercial kitchens generate waste continuously during prep, service, and breakdown. This unit positions at workstations, dish pits, or service corridors where food waste, packaging, and disposables accumulate. The 55-litre capacity reduces frequency of bag changes during peak volume periods.
Staff discard trimming waste, packaging film, and single-use items throughout shift cycles. The 350mm diameter footprint fits under counters or alongside prep tables without obstructing workflow. The 500mm height allows use of standard commercial bin liners without overhang or spillage risk.
Key Operational Advantages
- 55-litre capacity suits medium-volume commercial kitchens processing 40–80 covers per service
- Stainless steel construction resists acidic food waste and frequent wet mopping cycles
- 350mm diameter × 500mm height fits standard commercial bin liners
- 4.6 kg weight allows repositioning during cleaning without structural instability
- Non-porous surface prevents bacterial colonisation between cleaning intervals
- CE-certified construction meets UK, EU, USA (NSF), and Canada (CSA) hygiene standards

Construction & Build Quality
The bin is fabricated from stainless steel with a polished exterior finish. The base features reinforced construction to prevent deformation under load. Seamless internal walls eliminate crevices where organic matter accumulates.
- Stainless steel body resists denting and corrosion in wet commercial environments
- Polished exterior simplifies end-of-shift wipe-down procedures
- Reinforced base maintains structural integrity under repeated liner replacement cycles
- Seamless internal surface prevents waste accumulation in joints or seams

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the SDB55 construction?
A: The unit uses commercial-grade stainless steel suitable for food contact environments. Specific alloy designation (304 or 430) is confirmed at time of order based on current production batch. Both grades meet CE hygiene certification requirements.
Q: What is the load-bearing capacity when fully loaded with waste?
A: The bin handles up to 55 litres of mixed food waste, packaging, and disposables. Total load capacity including liner weight is approximately 30 kg before structural stress occurs. The 4.6 kg empty weight provides stability during loading and transport.
Q: Does the unit include a foot pedal or lid mechanism?
A: The standard SDB55 configuration is supplied without lid or pedal assembly. Optional lids with manual or foot-operated mechanisms are available as separate line items. Pedal assemblies suit operations where hands-free disposal reduces cross-contamination risk.
Q: Can the unit withstand repeated exposure to cleaning chemicals?
A: Stainless steel construction resists chlorine-based sanitisers, quaternary ammonium compounds, and alkaline degreasers used in commercial kitchen cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact with undiluted bleach solutions exceeding 5% concentration. Rinse after chemical application to maintain surface finish.
Q: What liner size fits the 350mm diameter opening?
A: Standard commercial bin liners in 60–80 litre capacity fit the 350mm opening without overhang. The 500mm internal height accommodates liner depth while allowing adequate overfold at the rim. Heavy-duty liners rated for food waste reduce puncture risk during disposal.
