Araven

The Araven fruit juice extractor is a two-piece manual juicer designed for straightforward, hands-on juice preparation in a commercial setting. The design separates into a pressing cone and a collection base, allowing the operator to crush and strain fruit manually, with direct control over how much pulp passes through into the finished drink.

For sites running a breakfast service or preparing fresh juices to order, a manual juicer of this kind suits low-to-moderate volume preparation well. It is not intended to replace a high-output electric juicer where continuous production is required, but for kitchens squeezing a few portions at a time — grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes — it performs the task reliably without the complexity of a powered appliance.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Dishwasher safe construction for quick turnaround between uses
• Two-piece design that separates easily for thorough cleaning
• Manual operation gives direct control over pulp level in the finished juice
• Made from ABS plastic — lightweight and robust for daily kitchen use
• Recyclable at end of service life, supporting waste reduction commitments

Because this is a manual tool, it is best suited to operations where juice preparation is occasional rather than continuous — a café breakfast menu, a small hotel, a pub kitchen offering a limited juice option, or as a supporting tool alongside other prep equipment. Sites producing larger volumes of fresh juice throughout the day would be better served by a benchtop electric juicer.

If you are unsure whether this fits your prep requirements or want a steer on the right tool for your service volume, the team is happy to help.

These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical solution for food prep storage, chilled holding, and general ingredient organisation across a wide range of commercial kitchens. Sized to the 2/3 GN format, they fit standard gastronorm fridges, prep counters, and pass-through equipment without modification, and each pack supplies four containers ready for immediate use.

Polypropylene is a well-established material choice for food storage containers in professional kitchens. It handles the temperature demands of cold storage and short-term hot holding reliably, tolerates repeated dishwasher cycles without significant degradation, and resists the staining and odour absorption that can be a problem with lower-grade plastics. The temperature tolerance across a wide range means these containers move comfortably from the freezer through to ambient prep use.

Each container carries a permanent wipe-clean label, which helps with date labelling and content identification under HACCP requirements. The colour-coded clip system — with red, yellow, green, and blue sets included — is particularly useful for allergen separation or departmental colour-coding protocols without requiring additional labelling equipment.

• Colour-coded clips support allergen separation and HACCP workflows
• Permanent wipe-clean label on every container for date and content marking
• Dishwasher-safe for straightforward turnaround between service periods
• Gastronorm sizing ensures compatibility with standard refrigeration and storage racking

These containers suit kitchens of most sizes, from smaller operations looking for reliable everyday storage to larger sites building out a standardised colour-coding system. For operations requiring greater individual capacity or a shallower profile for certain prep applications, other GN sizes and depths are available within the range.

If you are building out a storage system across multiple sections or have specific allergen management requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options before you order.

This Araven sauce dispenser is a pump-action condiment container sized to the standard 1/4 gastronorm footprint, making it straightforward to integrate into existing buffet trays, condiment stations, or countertop service points. It is made from polypropylene and operates on a simple push-pump mechanism that dispenses a measured 30ml dose per press.

In service, the fixed-dose pump helps keep portioning consistent without staff intervention — particularly useful at self-service buffet stations where sauce use can otherwise be difficult to control. The capacity is well suited to extended service periods without constant monitoring, and the gastronorm sizing means it sits cleanly alongside other GN containers in most standard display setups.

Practical benefits for front-of-house and buffet operations include:

• Controlled 30ml doses reduce over-use and help manage sauce costs
• Gastronorm footprint fits standard buffet trays and condiment units
• Shut-off valve prevents leaks during transport and preserves contents between services
• Polypropylene construction is lightweight, durable, and easy to clean
• Simple pump mechanism requires no tools or complex maintenance

There are no specialist installation requirements — this is a countertop item needing no electrical or plumbing connections. It is worth considering capacity relative to your service volume; for high-throughput operations running extended buffets or multiple sittings, a larger-format dispenser may reduce the frequency of refills more effectively.

This dispenser is well suited to cafés, hotel buffets, canteens, and casual dining operations looking for a tidier, more controlled approach to sauce service. If you are setting up a full condiment station or need guidance on the right configuration for your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This Araven half-gastronorm container is a purpose-designed allergen management solution for commercial kitchens operating under PPDS and allergen labelling requirements. Made from polypropylene and colour-coded in purple — the recognised colour for allergen-controlled storage — it allows kitchen teams to keep allergen-containing ingredients physically and visually separated from the general mise en place without relying on labelling alone.

In practice, the container performs reliably across a wide temperature range, making it equally suitable for cold storage and light warm-holding applications. The airtight lid and pull-tab design are well suited to fast-paced service environments where staff need to access contents quickly and reseal securely. A permanent wipe-clean label panel supports date and content marking without the residue that adhesive labels leave behind.

• Purple colour-coding supports allergen separation protocols at a glance
• Airtight lid with pull tab for quick, secure access during service
• Wipe-clean label area for date and content marking without adhesive residue
• Polypropylene construction resists warping and cracking under regular use
• Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits most countertop cold wells, bains marie, and shelving

As a standard half-gastronorm size, it fits directly into most refrigerated prep counters, cold wells, and gastronorm-compatible racking. It stacks consistently with other GN 1/2 containers, which helps with storage efficiency in smaller prep areas. The polypropylene material is dishwasher safe and holds up well to the daily wash cycle demands of a busy kitchen.

This container is well suited to any operation with allergen management responsibilities — from small cafés and school kitchens to larger contract catering sites. For operations handling very high volumes or requiring deeper storage, larger GN formats are available within the same Araven allergen range.

If you are setting up an allergen management system across your kitchen and want guidance on container sizing or colour-coding protocols, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Araven 4.5-litre polypropylene mixing bowl is a straightforward, robust prep bowl designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Made from food-safe polypropylene, it handles a wide range of preparation tasks — mixing batters, marinating proteins, holding prepped ingredients, or storing portioned goods during service.

Polypropylene is a practical choice for busy kitchen environments. It tolerates temperature extremes well, moving safely between freezer storage and microwave use without warping or cracking, and it withstands boiling water — which matters when bowls are used across hot and cold preparation tasks throughout the day. The material is also resistant to the staining and odour absorption that can affect lower-grade plastics over time.

From an operational standpoint, a bowl of this capacity is well suited to medium-volume prep work — enough volume for batch mixing without being unwieldy on a prep bench. Key practical points include:

• Dishwasher safe, supporting quick turnaround between uses
• Freezer safe for storing prepped ingredients or made-up mixes
• Microwave compatible for gentle reheating during prep
• Withstands boiling water without deformation
• Lightweight at 310g, reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions

For high-output kitchens requiring larger batch sizes, or where bowls are in near-continuous use across multiple sections, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity or a full set of graduated sizes would better serve the operation.

If you are putting together a prep bowl kit for a new kitchen or replacing existing stock, our team is happy to talk through what works best for your volume and workflow.

This is a straightforward, robust mixing bowl made from polypropylene — a practical choice for general food preparation in commercial kitchens. At 11 litres capacity with a 380mm diameter, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for prep bowls: large enough for batch mixing, marinating, or holding prepped ingredients during service, without being unwieldy for a single operator to handle.

Polypropylene is a well-proven material in catering environments. It handles boiling water without warping, tolerates freezer storage, and goes through a commercial dishwasher reliably without degrading over repeated cycles. It is also microwave safe, which makes it useful in kitchens where ingredients are gently heated or defrosted during prep.

In day-to-day kitchen use, bowls like this tend to earn their place through sheer versatility:

• Suitable for mixing, marinating, soaking and holding ingredients
• Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between uses
• Freezer safe for batch prep and advance preparation workflows
• Lightweight enough at 800g to handle comfortably during busy service prep
• Compatible with microwave use for gentle reheating or defrosting

There are no special installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of prep equipment. It is worth considering whether your prep volumes call for a larger or smaller capacity; kitchens handling high-volume batch work may find a larger bowl more practical, while smaller operations or those needing a secondary prep vessel may prefer a smaller size from the same range.

If you are equipping a prep kitchen from scratch or standardising your bowl sizes across a site, it is worth a conversation with us to make sure you are ordering the right mix of capacities for your workflow.

The Araven 90-litre container is a large-capacity, wheeled food storage box designed for bulk ingredient storage and movement within commercial kitchens. It includes a built-in ventilation system, an integrated opening mechanism, and comes supplied with four pairs of colour-coded identification clips in red, yellow, green, and blue.

In a working kitchen, a container of this size is typically used for dry goods, bulk produce, or batched prepared ingredients that need to travel between walk-in stores, prep areas, and service points. The wheeled base removes the need to lift a fully loaded container, which is a practical consideration when staff are moving at pace during busy service. The ventilation supports airflow for goods that benefit from it, and the colour clip system provides a straightforward way to apply allergen segregation or FIFO rotation coding without relying on separate labels.

• Colour-coded clips support allergen management and stock rotation
• Wheeled base allows repositioning without lifting when fully loaded
• Built-in ventilation maintains airflow for appropriate stored goods
• Integrated opening system allows access without removing the lid entirely
• Robust construction suited to repeated daily use in high-throughput storage environments

At 90 litres, this container is best suited to medium- and high-volume operations with genuine bulk storage demands — contract catering, schools, event kitchens, and central production units being typical examples. For smaller kitchens where day-to-day handling is a priority, a smaller capacity in the same Araven range may be more practical. For very high-volume sites with more intensive storage requirements, it is worth discussing whether a broader storage system would serve better.

If you would like to talk through whether this container fits your current storage setup, the team is glad to help.

The Araven 500ml non-drip sauce bottle is a straightforward squeeze bottle designed for accurate, controlled sauce dispensing in commercial kitchen and front-of-house settings. Made from polyethylene, it is clear throughout, allowing kitchen staff to check fill levels and identify contents at a glance. The non-drip screw cap is the key functional detail here — it closes the dispensing tip cleanly when not in use, preventing the drips and residue that lead to messy stations and unnecessary wastage.

In a busy service environment, small losses from poorly controlled squeeze bottles add up quickly. The non-drip design helps maintain portion consistency and keeps work surfaces and plate rims cleaner during plating. The bottle is also marked with both ml and oz measuring scales, which is useful where recipes are specified in either unit.

• Clear polyethylene body for easy content identification and fill-level checks
• Non-drip screw cap reduces mess and sauce wastage during service
• Dual ml/oz measuring scales support portion accuracy
• Suitable for use across a wide temperature range, covering most hot and cold sauce applications
• Dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning

Being dishwasher safe, the bottle fits into standard kitchen cleaning routines without any special handling. The polyethylene construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and resists the staining that affects some cheaper alternatives.

This bottle is well suited to kitchens, cafés, and food-to-go operations that work with a range of sauces, dressings, or decorating preparations. If you regularly run multiple sauce lines simultaneously or need a specific tip size for fine decorative work, it is worth discussing your requirements with us before ordering.

This is a 1/4 gastronorm polypropylene food storage container from Araven's allergen management range. It is colour-coded purple to help kitchens maintain a clear, consistent system for separating allergen-containing ingredients from the general food preparation workflow. An airtight lid is included as standard.

In a busy prep kitchen, allergen control depends heavily on reliable visual systems. The purple coding is widely recognised across food service as a dedicated allergen colour, which helps reduce the risk of accidental cross-contamination during high-pressure service periods when mistakes are most likely. The container fits standard 1/4 GN configurations, so it integrates directly into existing gastronorm storage racks, refrigeration, and bain-marie setups without requiring separate storage arrangements.

Practically, this container offers a useful range of benefits for day-to-day kitchen operations:

• Colour-coded purple for clear allergen segregation across prep and service teams
• Airtight lid reduces contamination risk and helps preserve ingredient condition
• Wide temperature tolerance supports use from freezer storage through to hot-hold environments
• Polypropylene construction is robust, odour-resistant, and straightforward to clean
• GN-compatible sizing slots directly into standard refrigeration and storage racking

There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone storage container. It is dishwasher safe, which matters in kitchens where hygiene records and cleaning compliance are subject to inspection. The polypropylene material does not absorb odours or stains readily, which is a practical advantage when containers are used repeatedly across service periods.

This container is well suited to any commercial kitchen with a formal allergen management procedure in place — from small independent restaurants to larger contract catering operations. For kitchens storing larger volumes of allergen-controlled ingredients, a bigger GN size or a deeper container may be more appropriate. If you are building out a full allergen colour-coding system across multiple GN sizes, it is worth getting the range right from the outset. We are happy to help you work through what you need.

This Araven GN 1/2 food storage container is an ABS plastic container sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and bain-marie systems. It comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for identifying contents and supporting food rotation. The blue colour coding is commonly used to indicate a specific food type or allergen category under kitchen HACCP procedures.

ABS is a practical choice for prep and cold storage environments. It holds its shape at low temperatures and tolerates the heat of a commercial dishwasher cycle, making it straightforward to turn around during a busy service. The material is notably lighter than stainless steel gastronorm pans of equivalent capacity, which reduces fatigue during repeated handling. The clip-seal lid keeps stored product secure during transit between stations and helps maintain correct holding conditions in the fridge.

• Colour-coded system supports allergen separation and HACCP compliance
• Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date labelling and rotation
• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
• Lightweight ABS construction reduces handling fatigue
• Clip-seal lid retains contents securely during fridge and transit use

This container is well suited to kitchens that already operate a gastronorm storage system and need additional capacity in a specific colour-code category. It sits at the shallower end of the 1/2 GN depth range, making it a reasonable choice for prepared garnishes, portioned proteins, or sauces rather than bulk storage. Deeper 1/2 GN containers are available where greater volume is needed.

If you're building out a colour-coded storage system or are unsure which depths and configurations suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.

This Araven 1/3 gastronorm food container is purpose-made for allergen management in commercial kitchens. The distinctive purple colour coding follows widely adopted allergen segregation practice, giving kitchen teams a clear, immediate visual cue that the contents require careful handling. It is made from polypropylene — the same grade of polymer used in medical equipment manufacturing — which gives it an exceptionally smooth, non-porous surface that resists odour absorption and is straightforward to clean and sanitise.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the container handles the full preparation and storage cycle without needing to transfer food between vessels. It moves safely from the freezer through cold storage and into a bain-marie or hot holding environment, which reduces handling steps and the risk of cross-contamination during service. The polypropylene construction holds up well to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without warping or discolouring.

• Purple colour coding supports allergen segregation across the kitchen team
• Compatible with standard 1/3 GN frames, inserts, and storage systems
• Suitable for freezing, chilled storage, and hot holding up to 95°C
• Non-porous surface resists staining and is easy to sanitise thoroughly
• Airtight lid included, helping maintain food quality during storage

Being a standard 1/3 GN size, it fits directly into gastronorm-compatible prep tables, bain-maries, and cold wells, making it practical across most commercial kitchen configurations. It is well suited to any operation that needs to manage allergens systematically — from hotel kitchens and contract caterers to schools and care facilities. For kitchens requiring higher-volume allergen storage, larger GN formats in the same allergen range are worth considering.

If you are building out an allergen management system across your kitchen and want to make sure you have the right container sizes and quantities for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Araven Thick Grain Dispenser is a straightforward squeeze-bottle style dispenser made from HDPE and LDPE, designed specifically to handle coarser, granular ingredients such as rock salt, mixed peppercorns, dried herb blends, and similar seasoning mixes that would clog or flow poorly through a standard sauce or liquid dispenser.

In a working kitchen environment, consistent and controlled portioning of spice mixes matters — both for food consistency and for waste reduction. The wider dispensing aperture on this bottle allows coarser grains to move freely without bridging or blockage, which is a common frustration with general-purpose squeeze bottles used for the same purpose. The lightweight construction keeps it practical on the pass or prep station, and the soft-sided body allows controlled dispensing pressure.

• Suitable for rock salt, coarse pepper, dried herbs, and mixed seasoning blends
• Soft HDPE/LDPE body allows precise squeeze control during service
• Lightweight and easy to handle during fast-paced prep or plating
• Simple to rinse and refill between service periods
• Compact footprint suits prep benches, pass areas, and mise en place setups

At 350g capacity, this is well suited to smaller prep stations or as part of a set of dispensers covering different seasoning types. Kitchens with higher throughput or larger prep volumes may find a larger-capacity version better suited to their needs, reducing the frequency of refills during busy service.

If you're putting together a seasoning station or standardising your dispensing kit across sections, we're happy to help you work out what makes sense for your setup.

This Araven ingredient bin is a full 1/1 gastronorm polypropylene container designed to hold bulk ingredients at prep and service stations. The open-top format allows kitchen staff to scoop or portion directly from the bin without removing it from a stack, which suits high-turnover prep areas where speed and access matter.

The bin is built around a first-in, first-out rotation system. Stock is loaded from the rear and dispensed from the front, which helps teams maintain correct ingredient rotation without relying on labelling discipline alone. In busy kitchens where staff change frequently or service pressure is high, a bin that enforces rotation mechanically is more reliable than one that depends entirely on procedure.

Practically, the polypropylene construction is robust enough for daily commercial use, resists staining from most food products, and is dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward. Colour-coded clips are supplied, allowing kitchens to assign bins to specific ingredient types or allergen categories — a useful feature where cross-contamination controls are part of the food safety plan.

• Stackable design allows access to contents without unstacking
• FIFO loading supports correct ingredient rotation in service
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-shift cleaning
• Colour-coded clips support allergen segregation systems
• Standard 1/1 GN footprint fits most existing racks and cold drawers

This size is well suited to medium-volume prep operations and standard service lines. For higher-volume sites or walk-in storage where larger batch quantities are handled, it is worth considering whether a greater capacity suits the workflow better.

If you are fitting out a prep station or reviewing your ingredient storage arrangement and want to talk through what works in practice, our team is happy to help.

This Araven food storage container is a full GN 1/1 size, 150mm deep, made from ABS plastic and colour-coded in blue. It is designed to fit standard gastronorm shelving and refrigeration, making it a practical choice for organised cold storage in a professional kitchen. The container comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label for content identification and date rotation.

In day-to-day kitchen use, a reliable labelling and colour-coding system is one of the simplest ways to reduce cross-contamination risk and support HACCP compliance. The blue designation is commonly used in many kitchens for raw fish, though teams are free to assign colour codes to their own allergen or rotation protocols. The wipe-clean label strip removes the need for tape and marker pen, which saves time during a busy service prep.

• Fits standard gastronorm refrigeration and shelving without adaptation
• ABS construction is robust under regular dishwasher cycles
• Colour-coded clips support visual stock rotation and allergen separation
• Rated down to -40°C, suitable for blast-chilled and frozen storage
• Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date labelling without tape or markers

The container is both microwave and dishwasher safe, and the ABS material handles a temperature range of -40°C through to 90°C, which covers most cold-hold and gentle reheat applications. It is worth noting that ABS is not suited to high-temperature oven use, so this container should not be treated as an oven-to-table vessel.

This size works well in most professional kitchens as a general-purpose cold storage container. It is particularly well suited to high-turnover prep environments where clear labelling and GN compatibility are a priority. For sites needing shallower depths for portioned storage or deeper units for bulk prep, alternative sizes are available within the range.

If you are standardising your storage system across a kitchen and want to confirm the right combination of depths and colour codes for your workflow, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Araven sauce dispenser is a polypropylene pump-action condiment container sized to the standard GN 1/6 footprint. It is designed to sit within a gastronorm-compatible condiment station or buffet counter, dispensing sauces, dressings, and similar condiments in controlled doses through a simple push-pump mechanism.

In a busy buffet or service environment, portion consistency matters both for cost control and for keeping the counter tidy. The pump delivers a measured 30ml dose per press, which reduces over-dispensing and helps operators keep track of consumption during service. The transparent body means staff can see the fill level at a glance without lifting or opening the container, which helps avoid unexpected run-outs mid-service. A shut-off valve seals the pump when not in use, reducing drips and making the unit safer to handle during restocking or end-of-day clearing.

• Push-pump operation delivers a consistent 30ml dose per press
• Transparent polypropylene body allows instant visual stock check
• Shut-off valve prevents leaks during transport and storage
• GN 1/6 footprint integrates with standard gastronorm condiment stations
• Polypropylene construction is dishwasher safe and food safe

Installation here simply means placement. The GN 1/6 sizing means it drops into any standard sixth-size gastronorm slot, whether that is a countertop condiment holder, a buffet unit, or a modular station. There are no power or plumbing requirements. Bear in mind the 2.6Ltr capacity suits moderate-volume buffet service well, but for very high-footfall events or extended service periods, you may find a higher-capacity format more practical to avoid repeated refills.

This dispenser is well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, and event caterers running buffet or self-service condiment stations. It is equally practical at a staffed sauce point where consistency of portioning is a priority. If your service volumes are lower, a smaller format may be more appropriate to keep product turnover fresh; for particularly high-volume operations, it is worth considering a larger-capacity alternative.

If you are building or reviewing a condiment station setup and want to talk through the options, the team is happy to help you work out what will suit your service style.

This is Araven's green colour-coded cutting board, sized to suit most commercial preparation stations. The green designation follows the widely adopted colour-coding convention used in professional kitchens to separate fruit and salad preparation from other food groups, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during busy service periods.

The board is made from a high-density, non-toxic material that is inert to food and resistant to the detergents and disinfectants commonly used in commercial kitchen environments. The surface is smooth enough for clean knife work whilst holding up to repeated daily use without significant scoring that would compromise hygiene. It is reversible, which extends usable life and gives kitchen staff a practical option during heavy prep runs without needing to swap boards entirely.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Colour-coded corners aid quick identification on busy prep stations
• Rubberised injected corners help keep the board stable on the work surface
• Reversible design effectively doubles the working surface before replacement is needed
• Dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient end-of-service cleaning routines
• Material is resistant to standard kitchen sanitisers and detergents

The board is well suited to smaller prep areas, satellite kitchens, or as part of a full colour-coded board set across a larger operation. For kitchens running high-volume prep over extended shifts, it is worth considering whether a thicker or larger board would better suit the throughput demands — the depth here is adequate for standard prep but heavier butchery work would call for something more substantial.

If you are putting together a colour-coded board system across multiple prep stations, or are unsure which sizes and designations suit your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Araven cutlery tray is a practical self-service organiser designed to keep knives, forks, dessert spoons, and teaspoons clean, sorted, and accessible on the service counter. It comes with a transparent lid that allows customers to see the contents at a glance, and a built-in handle on the lid makes it straightforward for them to open and help themselves without needing staff assistance.

In busy canteens, staff restaurants, and self-service diners, keeping cutlery presented cleanly and reducing the time staff spend restocking or tidying the counter makes a genuine difference across a long service. The four-compartment layout keeps each utensil type separated, and the lid provides a basic but effective barrier against dust and contamination when the tray is sitting out between service periods.

• Transparent lid allows customers to identify cutlery without lifting it
• Side handles make carrying between storage and service areas straightforward
• Lid fits securely when closed, so contents stay in place during transit
• Stackable lid design reduces storage space between services
• Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning

The tray sits at 1/1 GN size, so it fits neatly on standard gastronorm trolleys, which is useful for operations that pre-set cutlery stations before service or transport equipment between locations. It is worth noting that this is a light-duty smallware rather than a heavy-gauge storage product — it suits moderate self-service volumes rather than very high-footfall operations where a more robust solution may be more appropriate.

Well suited to staff canteens, cafés, school dining rooms, and similar self-service environments. If you are unsure whether this tray suits your counter layout or service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Araven Stackable Cutlery Tray is a straightforward, practical storage solution for organising cutlery in commercial kitchens, serveries, and front-of-house operations. Sized to the GN 1/1 standard, it fits neatly into existing bain marie frames, prep tables, and storage systems without modification.

Finished in granite grey, the tray is designed to stack cleanly when not in use, helping kitchens manage limited storage space more efficiently. The stackable design means multiple units can be stored compactly during quiet periods and deployed quickly at service time — a small but useful practical advantage in busy operations.

For operations running a self-service or assisted cutlery station, this tray keeps presentation tidy and allows staff to replenish quickly without disrupting service flow. It is equally useful in kitchen prep areas where organising cutlery by type helps speed up plating and covers.

• GN 1/1 sizing integrates with standard catering equipment without adapters
• Stackable design reduces storage footprint between services
• Granite grey finish suits both back-of-house and front-of-house use
• Straightforward to clean and quick to rotate through a dishwasher cycle
• Lightweight construction makes handling easy during busy service periods

This tray suits cafes, canteens, contract catering operations, and hospitality venues that need a reliable, low-maintenance cutlery storage solution. For sites with very high cutlery volumes or specific compartment requirements, it is worth checking whether a divided or higher-capacity tray would better suit the workflow.

If you are unsure whether this fits your existing setup or you need to match it to other GN equipment, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This 2-litre square polypropylene container from Araven is a straightforward dry and refrigerated food storage solution designed for commercial kitchen prep and service environments. It comes supplied with an airtight lid and a set of seven colour-coded Colorclips, and includes a moulded measuring scale on the side for basic stock monitoring.

In a working kitchen, the square profile makes a practical difference. Rectangular and square containers stack and store more efficiently than round alternatives, reducing wasted shelf and fridge space when you are running banks of containers across multiple product lines. The side handles make it manageable to move even when full, and the containers nest when empty to keep storage areas tidy during quieter periods.

Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:

• Airtight lid helps protect stored food from humidity and cross-odour transfer
• Seven Colorclips allow colour-coded labelling by food type or allergen category
• Dishwasher safe, reducing cleaning time at the end of service
• Suitable for freezer use, covering the full cold storage workflow
• Stackable with lid on, and nestable when empty

At 2 litres, this container is best suited to smaller batch prep, individual ingredient storage, or portioning tasks rather than bulk holding. It is not a ventilated container, so it is not intended for produce that requires airflow. For operations needing larger capacities, Araven and similar manufacturers offer the same system design at higher volumes.

If you are building out a prep storage system and want to talk through quantities, sizing, or colour-coding protocols for allergen management, the team is happy to help you work through the detail.

For sites with particularly high-volume prep requirements, larger-capacity containers in the same range are available.

If you're unsure which size or configuration works best for your storage setup, we're happy to help you think it through.

The Araven 18-litre square polypropylene container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from transparent polypropylene, it allows staff to identify contents at a glance without opening the container. The lid forms a secure seal to help maintain freshness and protect stored ingredients from contamination. Each unit is supplied with seven colour-coded ColorClips, a built-in traceability label area, a moulded measuring scale on the interior wall, and side handles to assist with lifting and moving.

In a working kitchen environment, containers like this are used daily across prep, storage, and service. The square profile stacks efficiently and makes better use of shelf and walk-in fridge space than round alternatives. The transparency is particularly useful during busy periods when staff need to locate ingredients quickly without lifting lids.

• Transparent walls allow contents to be identified without opening
• Square profile stacks neatly and uses shelf space efficiently
• Seven ColorClips support allergen and ingredient separation
• Built-in traceability label area aids HACCP compliance
• Side handles make safe handling easier, especially when full

There are no installation requirements — these containers are ready to use straight away. They are suited to ambient, refrigerated, and general dry-store environments. At 18 litres, this size works well for bulk prep ingredients, marinades, sauces, and dry goods. Kitchens with higher-volume storage needs or smaller day-to-day requirements will find other capacities in the Araven range better suited to their operation.

If you are looking to standardise storage across your kitchen or need guidance on which sizes and quantities would suit your setup, we are happy to help.

The Araven 12-litre square polypropylene container is a straightforward, practical storage solution commonly used in commercial kitchen prep areas and dry stores. It is supplied with a secure lid and seven colour-coded ColorClips, which help operators maintain separation between different food types and support allergen control practices without any additional investment in labelling systems.

Built into the container are a graduated measuring scale on the side and a traceability label area, both of which reduce the need for separate labels or guesswork during prep and storage. Side handles make it easier to move between shelving and work surfaces, which is useful when containers are being shifted frequently during busy service preparation.

The square profile makes efficient use of shelf and cold room space compared with round alternatives, and the polypropylene construction is robust enough for everyday commercial use and repeated cleaning cycles. Key practical advantages include:

• Seven ColorClips support colour-coded food separation and allergen management
• Integrated traceability label area keeps date and content information visible
• Graduated side scale reduces the need for separate measuring during prep
• Square footprint stacks and stores efficiently on standard shelving
• Side handles assist safe handling when moving between storage and prep areas

This size is well suited to small-batch prep storage, dry goods, and mise en place in kitchens of most sizes. Operators with higher-volume prep requirements may find a larger-capacity container from the same range more practical.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best suits your storage setup, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

The Araven 22-litre square polypropylene container is a straightforward, robust storage solution designed for commercial kitchen environments. It is supplied as a single unit complete with a lid, making it ready to use for dry goods storage, prepped ingredients, or chilled produce depending on your workflow.

In a busy kitchen, organisation and traceability matter as much as the container itself. Araven addresses this with a built-in traceability label area and a set of seven colour-coded ColorClips, which allow teams to apply a consistent colour-coding system across different food groups or allergen categories — a practical aid for HACCP compliance and cross-contamination control. The squared profile makes efficient use of shelf and cold-room space compared to round containers, and side handles make it straightforward to move even when full.

• Square profile stacks and stores efficiently on shelving and in cold rooms
• Seven ColorClips included for colour-coded food safety and allergen separation
• Built-in traceability label area supports date and content identification
• Integrated measuring scale on the interior assists with portion and stock management
• Side handles make safe, controlled handling easier when the container is loaded

For kitchens storing smaller volumes, a lower-capacity version may be more practical. Equally, operations with larger bulk storage requirements may find a bigger container from the same range better suited to their needs.
