GN tray in PMMA Dupont A00013515

A transparent acrylic tray in the standard GN 1/6 size holds cold or chilled food on counters, buffets and deli displays without the weight or fragility of glass. The material, polymethyl methacrylate, is chosen for its clarity: it lets the colours and textures of salads, desserts, seafood or bakery items show through as if uncovered, yet the tray protects the food from handling and airborne particles. Acrylic trays of this type are shaped by moulding molten polymer into a seamless container. The process leaves no joints or crevices where food or moisture can lodge, so the surface stays smooth and non-porous. That smoothness is the foundation of hygiene: bacteria and stains cannot penetrate the material, and cleaning agents can reach every part of the tray without trapping residue. To use the tray, the operator fills it with prepared food, slides it into a refrigerated or ambient counter, and leaves it in place until the food is sold or the service period ends. The tray can be lifted with one hand, thanks to its light weight, and stacked with others of the same size to save space when not in use. A single counter 80 cm deep can hold a row of these trays side by side, presenting a continuous display of chilled or ambient products. The tray is made from white acrylic, a material that resists cracking and chipping better than glass. It withstands temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C, so it can move from freezer to ambient counter or hot-holding unit without warping or discolouring. The edges are rounded to prevent cuts and to make stacking stable. Controls are not needed; the tray is a passive container. Its dimensions, 176 mm long, 162 mm wide and 50 mm high, match the GN 1/6 standard, so it fits into any professional counter, bain-marie or refrigerated display designed for that size. The temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C allows the tray to hold frozen desserts, chilled salads or ambient bakery items without risk of thermal shock. The weight, kept low by the acrylic material, means that a full tray can be moved by one person without strain. The footprint, 176 by 162 mm, determines how many trays will fit side by side on a counter of a given width. The acrylic surface repels oils and sauces so residue slides off with a damp cloth before the tray ever needs soaking. The smooth acrylic surface can be wiped with a damp cloth or washed in a sink with mild detergent. Because the tray is non-porous, it does not absorb odours or stains, and it dries quickly without leaving water marks. The trays are supplied in boxes of five, stacked to save space during transport and storage. The tray is 100% recyclable, BPA-free and PFAS-free, meeting current food-safety standards for materials in contact with food. Its stackable design allows multiple trays to be stored in a small cupboard or shelf when not in use.
