Polypropylene GN gastro container HENDI 880616

A polypropylene lid seals GN1/2 Gastronorm containers, keeping food safe during storage and transport. The lid rests directly on the rim of the container, creating a barrier against dust, spills and temperature fluctuations. Because it does not rely on clips or locks, it can be lifted quickly for access and replaced just as fast, making it practical for busy kitchen routines.

GN1/2 containers are standardised trays used across professional kitchens to organise ingredients, hold prepared dishes and move food between stations. The lid fits precisely over the container's rim, ensuring a stable stack when multiple trays are stored or transported. This prevents shifting and reduces the risk of contamination or spillage, especially when trays are moved on trolleys or in refrigerated cabinets.

The lid is used by placing it over a filled GN1/2 container. No additional fastening is required; the fit is secure enough for horizontal movement but remains easy to remove by hand. It is suitable for chilled, ambient and warm storage, though it must not be exposed to direct heat sources such as ovens or marmites.

Made from polypropylene, the lid is lightweight yet rigid, resisting cracks and warping under normal kitchen conditions. The material is food-safe and complies with HACCP hygiene standards, allowing it to be used in environments where food safety is strictly monitored. It can be washed in commercial dishwashers and withstands repeated cleaning cycles without degrading.

The lid measures 325 mm by 265 mm, matching the external dimensions of a GN1/2 container. This size allows it to cover the tray fully, protecting the contents without overhang. The temperature range of 40 °C to 95 °C means it can be used for chilled storage in blast chillers or refrigerators, as well as for holding warm food at serving temperatures, provided the food itself does not exceed the upper limit.

Cleaning involves removing the lid from the container and washing it with standard kitchen detergents. Because it has no moving parts or crevices, it dries quickly and does not trap food residue. Regular inspection for cracks or deformation ensures it remains effective as a seal.

This lid is designed specifically for GN1/2 Gastronorm containers and is compatible with any brand that follows the same standardised sizing.
