Dipper Well & Faucets
Dipper wells rinse and sanitize utensils such as ice cream scoops using moving water or heat. These units are essential to operations such as ice cream shops and cafes, as they ensure each customer is served with clean equipment even in the busiest establishments.
Dipper wells – usually used for ice cream scoops and paddles – prevent the transfer of flavors and inhibit harmful bacteria growth. Designed for installation in a countertop or workstation, these units provide a convenient place for users to rinse utensils or keep them sanitary between uses. The two most common types of dipper wells are perpetual flow and heated wells. Perpetual flow wells typically cost less but require large amounts of water to continually circulate throughout the day. Heated dipper wells have a higher initial cost but require fewer utilities to function, leading to lower long-term costs.
Dipper well faucets can also be purchased, either to outfit an existing sink or well or to replace old equipment. They're often necessary for drop-in wells that lack a perpetual flow. Users can turn on the water when it's needed and save on utility costs when it isn't. Some faucets come as a set with a well, while others require separate purchases.
