Polypropylene GN lid Hendi 880647

This Hendi polypropylene lid is made for GN 1/6 containers and provides a light, manageable cover for prepared food. Polypropylene is impact resistant, a useful property when lids are handled repeatedly during preparation and service. The matching container format supports a consistent approach to covering ingredients between kitchen tasks, while the lid’s food-storage compliance suits use within a HACCP-managed routine.

Where it is used

Use the lid on a GN 1/6 container holding prepared ingredients between stages of kitchen work. A lid closes the container opening during storage, keeping food covered while it waits for preparation or service. This is useful in a chilled prep area, where containers may be opened for portioning and covered again between tasks.

When a container moves between work areas, the lid covers its opening during transport. Staff can move prepared food while keeping it covered, for example from a prep area to a service station. The GN 1/6 format suits kitchens that organise ingredients in containers of this size, allowing covered containers to remain part of the same working arrangement as food is handled at different stages.

Polypropylene is lightweight and impact resistant. Its low handling weight makes repeated lifting and replacing easier during a shift, while impact resistance helps the lid withstand routine handling around busy prep areas. The lid is HACCP compliant for food storage, so it can be used as part of a food-storage routine managed to HACCP requirements.

How to choose

The 176 × 162 mm dimensions correspond to the GN 1/6 format. Use that format match when selecting a lid for containers already used in a GN 1/6 storage arrangement; it helps keep lids and containers organised by size across prep tasks. This is a practical choice for kitchens that portion different ingredients into the same standard container format.

The polypropylene lid is intended for a GN 1/6 container and for covering food during storage and movement. Its temperature range of −40 to 95 °C supports use in conditions spanning chilled storage and warmer handling within that range. Match the lid’s use to those conditions: it is not intended for ovens or bain-maries, so use it to cover the container during storage or movement rather than as part of a heating task.

For a HACCP-managed storage routine, the lid provides a cover for food held in the container. Its role is to close the container during storage and transit, while the GN 1/6 format helps maintain consistency where prepared ingredients are organised in containers of that size.
