Cambro Polypropylene Fast Food Tray 410mm

Name: Cambro Polypropylene Fast Food Tray 410mm
Brand: Cambro
SKU: DE312
Availability: InStock

The Cambro 410mm polypropylene fast food tray is a standard cafeteria and canteen tray designed for everyday high-volume use, available in Black and Red. Made from polypropylene, it is lightweight enough for customers to carry comfortably when fully loaded, and robust enough to withstand the repeated handling that comes with busy service periods.

In practice, these trays perform well in environments where trays are in constant rotation: school canteens, hospital catering, staff restaurants, and fast food counters. The textured surface helps to conceal the fine surface marks that accumulate with regular use, which means trays stay presentable for longer without requiring early replacement. Reinforced corners add structural integrity where trays are most likely to take knocks.

From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:

Textured surface masks everyday scratching, maintaining a clean appearance over time
Reinforced corners resist edge damage during stacking and handling
Stacking profile allows slight air separation, supporting effective drying between service periods
Polypropylene construction is dishwasher safe and tolerates the temperature range typical of commercial warewashing
Black and Red colours support colour coding of service areas
Consistent sizing makes them straightforward to store and manage in bulk

There are no installation requirements. These trays arrive ready for immediate use. They are rated for use between -10°C and 80°C and are not intended for direct oven or microwave use. The main practical consideration is volume: operators running high-turnover services should assess how many trays are needed in circulation to maintain flow during peak periods without running short.

This tray is well suited to mid-scale canteen and cafeteria operations. For very high-volume sites or environments with particularly demanding handling requirements, a heavier-duty tray format may be worth considering.

If you are unsure how many trays your operation needs or whether this size is the right fit for your tray rail or counter setup, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

How many trays should we hold in stock for a busy canteen service?

A useful rule of thumb is to have enough trays in circulation to cover your peak cover count, plus a working buffer for trays in the wash cycle. For a 200-cover lunch service, most operators find it practical to hold at least 250 to 300 trays, though the right number depends on how quickly your warewashing turns trays around.

Are these trays suitable for use with standard tray rails and counter systems?

At 410mm wide, these trays are sized to work with most standard cafeteria tray rail configurations, but it is always worth checking the rail spacing in your setup before ordering in bulk. If you are fitting out a new counter or replacing trays across an existing system, we can help confirm compatibility.

How well do polypropylene trays hold up to commercial dishwasher cycles?

Polypropylene is well suited to commercial warewashing and handles the temperature range typical of pass-through and rack dishwashers without warping under normal use. Check your dishwasher's output temperature against the tray's rating of -10°C to 80°C, as prolonged exposure to very high sanitising temperatures can distort plastic over time.
