GN polycarbonate container ARAVEN AR09852

An airtight lid creates a sealed environment over a Gastronorm container, preventing air exchange between stored food and the surrounding atmosphere. This barrier slows oxidation, moisture loss and contamination, extending the safe holding time of prepared ingredients, sauces or pre-portioned meals. The lid presses evenly across the container rim, relying on a flexible edge or integrated gasket to form the seal without additional clamps or fasteners.

To use, the operator places the lid on a clean, dry GN 1/6 container so the rim aligns with the sealing surface. Gentle downward pressure seats the lid; no twisting or locking is required. Once sealed, the container can be stacked, refrigerated or transported without risk of spillage or odour transfer. When access is needed, the lid lifts off in one motion, leaving the container rim undamaged and ready for reuse.

The lid is made of polycarbonate, a transparent, impact-resistant plastic that withstands repeated thermal shock from chilled storage to ambient temperatures. Its low profile (22 mm height) allows efficient stacking of multiple sealed containers, maximising shelf or trolley space in busy kitchens.

The 176 × 162 mm footprint matches the GN 1/6 standard, ensuring compatibility with all containers, trolleys and storage systems built to that specification. No controls or settings are present; the lid performs its function through its physical fit and material properties.

Cleaning follows from the smooth, non-porous surface: wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse and air-dry. The polycarbonate construction resists staining and does not absorb food odours, but abrasive pads or strong solvents should be avoided to preserve the sealing edge.

This lid is a single variant, article AR09852, positioned in the catalogue under Gastronorm accessories and storage solutions.
