Airtight Container ARAVEN AR03044

Gastronorm containers of this type provide standardised storage for professional kitchens, allowing ingredients and prepared dishes to be held, transported and stacked without spillage or contamination. The airtight seal created by the lid prevents air exchange, slowing oxidation and extending the usable life of perishable food. A double-lip design on the lid presses against the rim of the container, forming a barrier that keeps moisture in and airborne contaminants out. When the lid is pressed down, a small channel expels excess air from inside, reducing the oxygen that accelerates spoilage.

The operator loads the container with food, presses the lid into place until it clicks, and may use the colour-coded clips to label contents or dates. A tab on the lid provides a grip for quick opening, even when hands are wet or gloved. The container can then be moved between refrigeration, worktops or transport trolleys without shifting or leaking.

Constructed from durable food-grade plastic, the container and lid are designed to withstand repeated use in commercial environments. The 530 mm by 325 mm footprint matches the GN 1/1 standard, fitting standard gastronorm racks, shelves and trolleys. The 65 mm height and 8.3 litre volume offer a shallow profile for ingredients that need to be accessed frequently without stacking.

The lid's double airtight lip and air-expulsion channel work together to maintain food quality over longer storage periods. The IML (in-mould label) traceability system allows each container to be identified for stock rotation or hygiene records. Colour clips can be attached to the rim for visual organisation of contents or use-by dates.

Cleaning follows from the smooth, non-porous surfaces: the container and lid are washed in commercial dishwashers or by hand with standard kitchen detergents, then air-dried. The absence of metal parts or sharp corners simplifies sanitisation and reduces the risk of damage during handling.

This model is part of Araven's range of airtight gastronorm containers, available in various depths and compatible with standard GN 1/1 racks and trolleys used across professional catering.
