The Araven 40-litre food storage container is a large-capacity polypropylene box designed for bulk ingredient storage in commercial kitchens. It comes supplied with a secure lid and two sets of four colour-coded clips — in red, yellow, green and blue — allowing kitchens to implement allergen or food-type separation as part of their food safety regime.

Polypropylene construction makes these containers robust enough for daily service use. They withstand temperatures down to -40°C, so they're equally suited to blast chiller and deep-freeze environments as they are to standard cold room or walk-in fridge storage. The containers nest and stack securely, which matters in kitchens where storage space is tight and boxes are handled frequently during busy service periods.

In practical terms, a container of this size is well suited to storing prep ingredients in volume — portioned proteins, marinades, stock, prepared vegetables, or dry goods in high-turnover operations. The colour-clip system is a straightforward way to support HACCP-compliant separation without adding complexity to the workflow.

Stacks and nests to make the most of limited cold storage space
Colour-coded clips support allergen and food-type separation
Freezer-safe construction for use across the full cold chain
Lid included as standard, keeping contents protected during storage
Smooth polypropylene surfaces clean down quickly between uses

For kitchens with lower prep volumes or more limited storage space, smaller-capacity containers in the same Araven range offer the same clip system and material quality. This 40-litre size is best suited to high-volume prep kitchens, central production units, or any operation storing large batches as part of a cook-chill process.

If you're not sure which size or how many containers fits your operation's storage layout, our team is happy to help you work it out.

Frequently asked questions

Is the lid included, and how does the clip system work?

Yes, the lid is included as standard. Each container comes with two sets of four colour-coded clips — red, yellow, green and blue — which lock the lid securely in place and allow you to assign a colour to a specific food type or allergen category. This makes it straightforward to implement a consistent separation system across your storage.

Can these containers go directly into a blast chiller or deep freeze?

Yes. The polypropylene construction is rated to -40°C, so these containers are suitable for use in blast chillers, deep freezers, and standard cold rooms without risk of the material becoming brittle or distorting. They are well suited to cook-chill operations where product moves through multiple temperature stages.

Is a 40-litre container the right size for my kitchen?

That depends on your prep volumes and the type of ingredients you're storing. The 40-litre size works well in high-volume prep kitchens, central production units, and operations that batch-prepare large quantities. If you're working in a smaller kitchen or storing portioned rather than bulk ingredients, a smaller container from the same range may be more practical — our team can help you assess what fits your workflow.
