Where to buy a double stainless steel sink for milk room?

Alan K · Feb 3, 2017

My cousins are looking for a 36" (18" each side) 21" deep stainless steel sink for their milk room. Anyone have a decent used one in the SW Minnesota area or near there?

Go to a plumbing supply outfit. Not a box like Home Depot or Lowes or Myiers)sp)

I'd try the dairy equipment and supply dealer. It might cost a little more that the cheapie from a home store, but it will be right and pass inspection.

A new commercial sink will be costly.

Have you tried Craigslist, or a hotel/restaurant supply? They may have a used one.

Not sure what the health requirements for a dairy are, but food prep can't use the welded square corner type sinks, they must have the rounded inside seams.

I got mine and a 500 gallon milk tank from a local guy that collected old dairy products. If you have any dairies in your area might go see them and ask if they know of such a guy in your area.

They are all over, just put a wtb ad on the for sale site of Craigs list. I have a single that I picked up from a farm sale but you said they need a double. I am in SW WI. Email is open.

Check out bar and restaurant supply or go to a restaurant auction. They will be cheap and of better quality than you can buy ata big box type place. I used to run a bar and bought one at an auction for less than the faucet cost.

Last spring I bought a sink , pipe line, milkers, jar , wash unit, some bucket milkers, and pails, and a hot water reclaim unit , all for a thousand bucks . Sold off several parts , still have many including the sink . Milkers and water heat reclaim unit brought me $1250.00 . Folks don't know what they are seeing some times. I added the milk line to my barn last month.

I've got one in sw Wisconsin might be taking a road trip up the Mississippi so could meet somewhere. The tabs for the legs were spot welded to the tank might need rewelding. I might get a picture tommorrow. They looking to start farming or a unfriendly inspector ?

we bought 2 of them at a grocery store that was going out of business, had a delli in it. Sold one for what we paid for both.

Just updating before the inspector comes through.

Thats one thing i dont miss . i haven't got a picture yet i got this one from a neighbor that switched to pigs and i used it as long as i milked and then used it when i fed calves for cleanup and mixing feed I'm afraid if i keep it i might want to feed calves again. I think the email is open

Why so narrow? That width would make problems with washing things connected with the depth. You should have one at least 24" per sink and probably 30". I know the old galvanized wash tanks we had back in the 70's-early 80's were 3-" wide and would not have wanted anything smaller to wash the milkers in. So that width does not make any sence to me. At that width you are only good for an 11" deep sink.
