Polypropylene GN container Hendi 880173

This polypropylene GN container is designed for food storage and transfer. Its standard GN 1/2 format supports organised handling on a professional kitchen line, while the lightweight material makes it practical to move between storage and preparation areas.

Where it is used

Use the container to hold ingredients or prepared food within HACCP-based storage routines. The GN format gives the kitchen a consistent way to organise stored food, while keeping a product in its container as it moves between work areas avoids an unnecessary change of vessel.

Its capacity suits a working batch that needs to stay together during storage and transfer. In a restaurant prep area, a filled container can be taken to the relevant station without decanting the contents first. Polypropylene’s light weight is useful during that handling, particularly when the container is moved repeatedly between preparation tasks.

How to choose

The GN 1/2 footprint and overall dimensions help assess whether the container suits the kitchen’s established storage and preparation layout. This is useful when allocating a GN position to a particular ingredient or prepared food: the container’s format can be considered alongside the space available, rather than choosing a vessel by capacity alone.

The container’s depth and capacity provide room for a working quantity while retaining the GN 1/2 footprint. Consider that combination when a batch needs to be held together in one vessel for the next preparation stage. Polypropylene is also non-corroding in normal food-storage use, making it appropriate for repeated handling of stored food in a damp kitchen environment.

Its temperature limits define its role in the workflow: use it for storage and transfer, not in an oven or bain-marie. Keeping that distinction in mind helps allocate the container to the holding and movement stages, while heated equipment remains responsible for heating food.
