5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is a "bus tub" and how is it used?
A: A "bus tub" is an industry term for a durable plastic collection pan, typically used in restaurants and cafeterias to clear dirty dishes, silverware, and food scraps from tables and transport them to the dishwashing area.
Q2: What is the difference between the 8318 and 8316 models?
A: The 8318 is the standard large bus tub, offering a large surface area (61.5 x 41 cm) with a standard depth (18 cm). The 8316 is slightly smaller in length/width but is significantly deeper (20.5 cm), making it ideal for heavier loads or liquids where extra capacity is needed.
Q3: What does the "Thickened Frosted" finish on the 8313-A1 model imply?
A: The "Thickened Frosted" finish means the plastic material is thicker than the standard models for increased durability and load bearing. The matte (frosted) surface finish provides a better grip, especially when the pan is wet or greasy.
Q4: Why does the 8312 model not list a "PCS/CTN" (Pieces per Carton)?
A: The dash (-) in the "PCS/CTN" column for the 8312 model likely indicates that this information was either omitted from the source data or that this specific model is sold individually or packaged in variable quantities depending on the order.
Q5: Are these collection pans safe for food contact?
A: While primarily designed for busing and utility, these pans are generally made from food-grade or high-quality commercial plastic (like polypropylene or HDPE). However, for direct food preparation or storage, customers should verify the specific material certification with the supplier to ensure compliance with local food safety regulations.
