Insulated box HENDI 707043

An insulated box keeps food at serving temperature while it travels from kitchen to event or between sites. The walls and lid trap a layer of still air that slows the transfer of heat, so hot dishes stay warm and cold items stay chilled without electricity or ice packs. This method relies on the insulating properties of the material and the seal of the lid, not on active heating or cooling, making it suitable for outdoor service and mobile catering where power is not available.

The operator loads the box by placing filled gastronorm pans or individual dishes into the interior. Special recesses on the inner side walls hold the containers in place, preventing movement during transport. The lid is pressed down until it clicks shut, forming a tight seal. Once sealed, the box is carried by its integrated handles or placed on a trolley. At the destination, the lid is lifted and the dishes are removed from the recesses without tilting or spilling.

The box is moulded in one piece from a lightweight polymer, eliminating screws, seams and joints where food debris could collect. The material is chosen for its insulating properties and its ability to withstand repeated dishwasher cycles up to +80 °C. The absence of metal parts reduces weight and prevents condensation that can form on cold surfaces.

Controls are limited to the lid's snap closure, which the operator engages by pressing down until it locks. No settings or adjustments are required.

A 9 litre volume provides space for a single gastronorm pan or several smaller dishes, making it practical for individual servings or small buffet items. The footprint of 440 by 310 millimetres fits on a standard worktop or trolley shelf, while the 160 millimetre height allows stacking under counters or in cupboards. The lightweight construction reduces the load on staff during carrying and loading.

Cleaning follows from the one-piece design: the box is placed in a commercial dishwasher and washed at temperatures up to +80 °C. The absence of seams and joints means no disassembly is needed, and the material resists staining and odour retention.

The box is supplied as a single unit with lid and integrated handles, requiring no assembly or additional parts.
