Airtight Container ARAVEN AR03023

Airtight food containers create a sealed environment that slows oxidation and moisture loss. The lid presses down, forcing out excess air through a small channel. This reduces the oxygen that reaches the food, keeping it fresher for longer than open trays or loosely covered dishes. The method relies on a tight seal rather than refrigeration, so it works on worktops, in cupboards or inside refrigerators without extra power or ice packs.

To use the container, fill it with prepared food up to the rim, leaving a small gap for the lid to close. Press the lid down firmly until it clicks into place; the double-lip seal ensures no air leaks back in. A small tab on the lid lets the operator lift it without prying. When the container is needed, pull the tab to break the seal and remove the lid. Colour-coded clips snap onto the rim to label contents or dates, and an IML traceability label on the side records batch information without extra stickers.

The container is made of food-safe plastic, rigid enough to stack under heavier trays yet light enough to carry when full. The lid is the same material, with a flexible double lip that presses against the container walls. Both parts are dishwasher-safe and designed to withstand repeated thermal shock from hot food and cold storage.

The footprint of 176 by 162 mm matches the GN1/6 standard, so the container fits gastronorm racks, trolleys and combi-steamers without wasted space. The 65 mm height holds 1.5 litres, enough for individual portions or small batches of sauces, dressings or prepped vegetables. The weight remains low, so stacking several containers does not overload shelves or trolleys.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove the lid, rinse or scrape out food residue, then place both parts in a dishwasher. The smooth surfaces and rounded corners prevent food from sticking, and the plastic resists staining from acidic or coloured foods. The colour clips snap off for separate cleaning and clip back on once dry.

The container is part of ARAVEN's GastroNorm range, designed for professional kitchens that use standardised tray sizes.
