GN polycarbonate container ARAVEN AR94059

A gastronorm container holds prepared ingredients, cooked dishes or chilled components in a standardised footprint that slides into refrigerated counters, hot cupboards, bain-maries and transport trolleys. The GN 1/1 size matches the full width of a gastronorm shelf, so it occupies the maximum available space without gaps and stacks neatly with other containers of the same depth. Polycarbonate is chosen for its transparency, impact resistance and ability to withstand repeated thermal shocks from hot food and chilled storage without warping or cracking.

The operator fills the container directly from the worktop or hob, then places it into a compatible holding unit or transport rack. When the container is removed, its flat base and straight sides allow easy decanting or portioning without spillage. The 100 mm depth provides enough volume for bulk items such as sauces, soups or pre-portioned vegetables while keeping the weight manageable for lifting and sliding.

Construction is a single moulded polycarbonate tray with reinforced corners and a smooth, seamless interior that prevents food residue from catching. The material is food-safe, dishwasher-safe and resistant to oils, acids and cleaning chemicals used in professional kitchens.

The container has no controls; its function is passive storage and transport within the gastronorm system.

The 530 mm length and 325 mm width correspond to the GN 1/1 standard, so the container fits every gastronorm-compatible appliance and rack. The 13.4 L volume indicates how much liquid or solid food the container can hold before it reaches the rim. The 100 mm height determines how many containers can be stacked vertically in a cupboard or trolley without exceeding the available clearance.

Cleaning involves rinsing with warm water and detergent after each use, followed by a dishwasher cycle for thorough sanitisation. The seamless design and non-porous material prevent bacteria from lingering in crevices or scratches.

This container is a single variant in the ARAVEN gastronorm range, available in other depths and materials for different storage needs.
