Polypropylene GN lid Hendi 880623

This polypropylene GN 1/3 lid provides a cover for ingredients held in gastronorm containers. Its format and material suit food-storage work in kitchens already using polypropylene GN containers, so preparations can remain in their containers as they move between storage and a working station. Polypropylene is lightweight, making the lid straightforward to handle when covering or uncovering stored ingredients.

Where it is used

Use the lid with polypropylene GN gastronorms and GN containers for food stored under HACCP procedures. Covering ingredients in their containers helps keep separate preparations together within the kitchen’s GN storage arrangement, whether containers are held in refrigerated storage or brought to a preparation station. The lid serves the container as a cover during routine handling, so staff can work with organised portions without transferring contents simply to cover them.

The GN 1/3 format suits a station where ingredients are divided between separate gastronorm containers. In a hotel kitchen preparing components for service, this standard format helps the team keep each preparation in its own container while maintaining a consistent GN arrangement. The polypropylene construction is appropriate for polypropylene gastronorms, making the lid useful alongside those containers for covered food storage. Its role is particularly clear when a kitchen handles several preparations in separate containers: each remains associated with its own vessel rather than being combined for storage.

How to choose

The lid’s 325 × 176 mm footprint provides a practical basis for matching it to a container opening. Dimensions define the area the cover occupies, helping buyers compare the lid with the container they need to cover. This makes the footprint useful when choosing a replacement or completing a set of storage equipment, as the comparison can be made against the container’s corresponding opening rather than by judging the lid in isolation.

GN 1/3 identifies the format for selection within a gastronorm system. Where a kitchen organises containers by GN size, that designation helps keep the chosen cover aligned with the format used at the station. The lid is suitable for polypropylene GN gastronorms and for GN containers used for HACCP food storage, linking the selection to both container material and storage task. For buyers equipping a preparation area, these criteria help identify a cover that belongs with the containers used for the kitchen’s established GN storage work.
