GN tray in black polycarbonate ARAVEN AR47798

A GN 1/6 container in food-safe ABS plastic, designed to hold prepared ingredients, sauces or pre-portioned meals in a professional kitchen. The standardised GastroNorm 1/6 footprint fits commercial refrigerators, bain-maries, display counters and transport trolleys without wasted space, while the 150 mm depth allows generous fill without spillage during movement.

Containers of this type rely on rigid, lightweight plastic to protect contents from knocks and temperature swings. ABS is chosen for its balance of strength and low weight; it does not absorb odours, resists staining and withstands repeated washing at high temperatures. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents food particles from clinging, so cleaning is quicker and hygiene standards are easier to maintain.

To use, the operator fills the container to the desired level, ensuring the contents do not exceed the rim. The container then stacks securely with others of the same size, or nests inside larger GastroNorm trays when empty to save storage space. When placed in a refrigerated unit or hot-holding cabinet, the standardised base ensures even air circulation around each container, keeping temperatures consistent across all portions.

Construction is a single moulded piece of ABS, with no seams or joints where food could lodge. The walls are thick enough to resist deformation under normal kitchen loads, yet light enough for easy handling when full. The rim is reinforced to prevent cracking during stacking or transport.

The 176 mm by 162 mm footprint matches the GastroNorm 1/6 grid, so the container slots directly into compatible shelving, racks and trolleys without adapters. The 2.15 litre volume provides enough capacity for individual portions or small batches of ingredients, while the 150 mm height allows comfortable stacking of multiple containers without toppling.

Cleaning follows from the material: the container is dishwasher-safe and can be sanitised in hot water or chemical solutions. The absence of corners or crevices means no scrubbing is needed; a rinse and wipe are usually sufficient. After washing, containers nest inside one another to save cupboard space until the next use.
