Airtight Container ARAVEN AR03032

Airtight food containers maintain freshness by sealing out oxygen, the main cause of spoilage in stored ingredients. The lid creates a barrier that slows oxidation, keeping food usable for longer periods without refrigeration. This method relies on a tight seal rather than chemical preservatives, making it suitable for dry goods, prepped ingredients and leftovers in professional kitchens.

To use the container, fill it with food up to the recommended level, then press the lid firmly into place. The double-lip design expels excess air through a small channel as the lid closes, reducing the oxygen inside. A tab on the lid allows easy opening without prising, while colour-coded clips help staff track contents and rotation. When empty, the container stacks with others of the same GastroNorm size for compact storage.

The container is made of food-safe plastic, standardised to GN 1/2 dimensions. The lid features an integrated airtight seal and an IML traceability label that withstands repeated washing. The 325 mm by 265 mm footprint fits standard kitchen shelving and worktops, while the 65 mm height holds shallow layers of food for efficient cooling and reheating. The 4 L volume provides enough space for bulk ingredients or portioned meals without overcrowding.

Cleaning involves washing the container and lid in warm soapy water or a commercial dishwasher. The airtight seal should be checked periodically for wear, and the lid replaced if the double lip shows signs of damage. Colour clips can be removed before washing and reattached afterwards to maintain organisation.

The container is part of ARAVEN's GastroNorm range, designed for compatibility with professional kitchen equipment such as bain-maries, refrigerators and transport trolleys.
