Insulated box HENDI 707456

An insulated box holds food at serving temperature without external power by trapping heat or cold inside a sealed chamber. The walls are made of a material that conducts heat poorly, so the energy inside stays where it is put. When hot food is loaded, the box slows the loss of heat to the kitchen air; when cold food is loaded, it slows the gain of heat from the surroundings. This lets caterers transport or hold dishes ready for service without reheating or re-chilling.

The operator loads the box with pre-heated or pre-chilled food, closes the lid and carries it to the point of service. The box can remain closed for up to two hours while keeping food at or near its initial temperature. For short periods, it can even hold food that is still being heated, allowing a brief transfer from oven to table. At room temperature, the same box safely stores food for up to thirty days, acting as a sealed container that protects against contamination.

The box is constructed from black Piocelan LSP EB, a material chosen for its thermal insulation, mechanical strength and resistance to deformation. It is designed for repeated, intensive use in professional kitchens and requires only routine cleaning to maintain hygiene. Ergonomic carrying handles are integrated into the sides, reducing strain on staff when the box is moved.

The external dimensions of 685 mm by 485 mm by 360 mm give a footprint that fits on standard worktops or trolleys, while the 80 L volume provides enough capacity for bulk service without taking excessive floor space. The box complies with HACCP requirements for direct food contact, ensuring it can be used safely in any regulated kitchen environment.

Cleaning is straightforward: the smooth, non-porous surface of Piocelan resists staining and can be wiped down with standard kitchen sanitiser. The material does not absorb odours or moisture, so it remains hygienic even after repeated use.
