Araven Polypropylene 1/1 Gastronorm Ingredient Bin 50Ltr

This Araven ingredient bin is a straightforward, practical storage container sized to the standard 1/1 gastronorm footprint, with a 50-litre capacity suited to storing dry goods, prepped ingredients, or bulk foodstuffs in a busy kitchen environment. Made from BPA-free polypropylene, it is fully food-safe and built to handle the kind of daily use that commercial kitchens put through their storage equipment.

The clear body means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the lid — a small but useful advantage during a busy service when speed matters. The wide opening gives good access for scooping or portioning, and the large lid keeps contents covered and protected between uses. The container is designed to work across different kitchen zones, including ambient storage areas, cold rooms, and freezer use, making it adaptable to how your operation is set up.

A few practical advantages worth noting:

• Colour-coded clips allow food separation by type, supporting allergen and cross-contamination controls
• The 1/1 GN format fits standard shelving and racking systems already in most commercial kitchens
• Lightweight enough for easy handling when full or when cleaning
• Polypropylene construction resists odour absorption and cleans down quickly
• Suitable for use from freezer to ambient storage without material degradation

At 50 litres, this bin is a reasonable size for moderate-volume prep and ingredient storage. Sites with higher throughput or larger batch preparation may find they need multiple units or a larger-capacity format to keep pace with demand. It stacks efficiently when empty, which helps with storage when not in use.

This bin is well suited to any commercial kitchen needing reliable, food-safe dry or prepped ingredient storage — from small independents to larger operations using it as a secondary container alongside higher-volume storage solutions.
