Polypropylene GN container Hendi 880470

This polypropylene GN container has a transparent body and a compact GN 1/6 format for holding ingredients at a working station. Because staff can see through its sides, they can identify contents and check remaining stock while preparing or serving, without lifting the container. That visibility is useful when several ingredients are kept close together and need to remain distinguishable during a busy service.

Where it is used

Use the GN 1/6 container to give an individual ingredient or component a dedicated place on a prep bench or service station. Its format supports organised handling of food stored in line with HACCP standards, keeping the container suited to a planned food-storage workflow rather than loose ingredients on the work surface. The transparent polypropylene body makes the contents visible through the sides, so staff can identify what they need while working at the station.

Polypropylene does not absorb aromas or flavours. This helps prevent a stored ingredient’s aroma or flavour lingering in the container and carrying over when it is washed and reused for another food. It is a practical property when containers rotate between different ingredients during preparation and service.

Care

The container is suitable for dishwasher cleaning, so it can go through the machine-wash cycle after food storage. This gives staff a practical route for cleaning it during routine wash-up.

The storage-process label is integrated into the material rather than being a separate sticker. It stays with the container through handling, keeping identification linked to the item as it moves through storage and preparation.

How to choose

At 1.6 L, the capacity is smaller than that of most products in this category. It suits a station where a limited quantity is useful, rather than a larger holding batch; staff can keep a small working supply close to hand and replenish it as the task requires. This makes capacity the key distinction when choosing between containers for different ingredient quantities.

The 176 × 162 × 100 mm dimensions give this GN 1/6 container a compact footprint for a crowded bench or shelf. Compared with a larger-format container, it occupies less working area, leaving more room for adjacent preparation tasks. The 100 mm height also defines the space it takes up vertically, which helps when arranging containers on a shelf or within a station. Choose this format when its footprint and capacity suit the intended ingredient and available space.
