GN polycarbonate container ARAVEN AR94011

A GN 1/9 gastronorm container holds ingredients, prepped food or leftovers in a standardised footprint that slides into chilled counters, heated wells and transport trolleys. The 1/9 module fits nine across a full-size GN 1/1 tray, organising small batches without wasted space.

The container is shaped to stack securely, so filled units can be piled without tipping or jamming. When empty, they nest inside each other, cutting storage volume by more than half. Polycarbonate is chosen for its balance of light weight and impact resistance; it withstands repeated handling, temperature swings from freezer to bain-marie, and daily washing in commercial dish machines.

To use, fill the container to the rim or leave headroom for expansion if freezing. Place the lid (sold separately) to seal, then stack or rack as needed. In a chilled counter the container keeps food at safe holding temperatures; in a heated well it warms contents evenly without scorching. After service, empty, scrape and send through the dishwasher; polycarbonate dries quickly and resists staining from acidic or coloured foods.

The walls and base are moulded in a single piece of polycarbonate, with no seams or welds that could trap food or harbour bacteria. The 100 mm depth gives enough capacity for sauces, dressings or portioned sides while keeping the unit light enough to lift with one hand.

Controls are not applicable; the container is a passive storage vessel.

The 176 × 108 mm footprint matches the GN 1/9 standard, so it fits any equipment designed for that module. The 0.9 L volume indicates how much liquid or loose food the container can hold before it must be sealed or stacked. The 100 mm height determines how many units can be stacked before they reach the top of a standard counter well or trolley shelf.

After each use, wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with non-abrasive detergent. Polycarbonate can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals, but avoid solvents that could craze the surface. Store empty containers nested to save space.

This is the 100 mm deep variant in the ARAVEN GN 1/9 polycarbonate range.

The container is compatible with all professional kitchen equipment that accepts GN 1/9 trays, including blast chillers, heated holding cabinets, refrigerated counters, bain-maries and transport trolleys.
