Airtight Container ARAVEN AR03024

Airtight food containers maintain freshness by sealing out air that causes oxidation and spoilage. The lid creates a barrier that slows the breakdown of fats, moisture loss and bacterial growth, keeping ingredients or prepared dishes usable for longer periods. This method relies on a tight seal rather than refrigeration alone, allowing safe storage at room temperature or in chilled environments without compromising quality.

The container is loaded with food, the lid pressed into place until the double airtight lip engages. A small tab on the lid lets the operator release the seal without prying. When the lid is closed, pressing the channel expels excess air, reducing oxidation and extending the food's usable life. The container can then be stacked, labelled and stored in cupboards, refrigerators or transport trolleys.

Made to GastroNorm 1/6 standard, the container measures 176 mm by 162 mm by 100 mm high and holds 1.7 litres. The body and lid are moulded from food-safe plastic, with an integrated traceability label that withstands repeated washing. Colour-coded clips snap onto the rim for quick identification of contents or use-by dates.

The 176 mm by 162 mm footprint fits standard GN1/6 racks, shelves and trolleys, allowing organised storage and transport across kitchen stations. The 100 mm height provides enough volume for sauces, dressings, prepped vegetables or portioned ingredients without taking excessive vertical space. The 1.7 litre capacity matches typical batch sizes in professional kitchens, reducing the need for multiple small containers.

Cleaning involves removing the lid, washing both parts in hot soapy water or a commercial dishwasher, and drying before reassembly. The airtight seal remains effective through repeated use as long as the lid lip and container rim stay free of food residue. Colour clips can be removed for separate washing and replaced once dry.

The container is part of ARAVEN's GastroNorm range, designed for professional catering and food-service operations.
