GN container for allergy sufferers HENDI 880173

A gastronorm container built to the GN1/2 standard holds ingredients, prepped food or finished dishes in a format that slides into refrigerators, bain-maries and transport trolleys without repacking. The polypropylene construction resists thermal shock and chemical attack, so the same vessel can move from freezer to chilled counter to ambient storage without cracking or absorbing odours.

The container's flat base and straight sides create a stable, stackable unit that maximises shelf space. When filled, it can be lifted by its rim or carried in a compatible trolley, reducing manual handling in busy kitchens. Because it is not designed for direct heat, it is used for holding, chilling or transporting food rather than cooking or reheating.

To use, load the container with product, cover if required, and place it in the appropriate appliance or trolley. The 100 mm depth allows generous portions while keeping the unit light enough to handle when full. After service, the container can be washed in a commercial dishwasher or by hand, then stacked for compact storage.

The body is made of food-safe polypropylene that meets HACCP hygiene standards. The rim is reinforced for strength, and the base is flat to prevent tipping. No moving parts or electrical components are present, so maintenance is limited to routine cleaning.

The container's dimensions—325 mm long, 265 mm wide and 100 mm high—match the GN1/2 footprint, so it fits standardised racks, trolleys and refrigeration units. The 6.5 litre volume gives enough capacity for bulk ingredients or plated portions without becoming unwieldy when full. The temperature range of -40 to 80 °C allows use in freezers, chilled counters and ambient storage, but excludes ovens and marmits where direct heat could deform the plastic.

Cleaning involves washing with hot water and detergent, then rinsing and air-drying. Polypropylene does not corrode, so the container can be sanitised with approved chemicals without damage. Stacking when dry prevents moisture build-up between units.

This container is available in the 100 mm depth only, with no other variants listed for this article number. It is compatible with any equipment that accepts GN1/2 gastronorm inserts, including refrigerators, chilled counters, transport trolleys and storage racks.
