The spanish company has 38 references: 22 tubs, 6 support lids, 6 support lids with notches and 4 tubs with perforated holes, to offer a flexible collection that adapts to different functions
In addition to having a support lid that is compatible with all GastroNorm containers in the same size, regardless of the material, the new range offers all of Araven’s exclusive design features to facilitate the work of professionals in the Horeca (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering) sector
Araven’s GastroNorm tubs are available in the main standardised measurements in food preservation, handling and service processes, and also include models with perforated holes for optimum defrosting and exudate control.
(Monday 11 January 2021). Aragon-based firm Araven continues to strengthen its product catalogue of professional hospitality equipment and completes its famous range of food containers with the new GastroNorm polycarbonate pans. Designed to facilitate all restaurant tasks, the main innovation of these pans is their universal support lid, which can also be used on other GastroNorm containers made from different materials. An advantage that is added to all of Araven’s exclusive details and the properties of polycarbonate.
Thus, the GastroNorm food containers present an engraved food identification system on the item where you can note down, using the Araven marker, the basic aspects of the preserved product (dates of creation, expiry or origin…) and easily control the hygienic-sanitary guarantees and the effectiveness of the work processes. The key information is reinforced with the engraving on the upper edge with the days of the week and times, so that, on a handling table, the operator can see the food’s date and time of expiry that was marked down during its preparation.
DESIGN AND MATERIALS FOR PROFESSIONAL WORK
The list of practical details also includes airtight lids with a rubber seal to ensure maximum protection of the food even in the largest of our containers; an engraved measurement indicator, textured edges on the corners for greater durability and racks for defrosting and washing the food.
To assist in these two especially critical operations, the GastroNorm tubs are also offered with holes in, with a perforated wavy bottom that allows the liquid to drain more quickly to the base of the contai without coming into contact with the food again.
This design not only reduces the defrosting time, but also makes them the ideal container for fresh foods that give off liquids, such as meat and fish, as they separate the exudate from the food itself, maintaining all their quality and reducing the level of waste. Likewise, they are the best option for washing and draining vegetables, rice and pasta, or for displaying products for service, like cut fruit.
Finally, this range enjoys all the benefits of polycarbonate, a transparent material that allows you to see what’s inside and does not stain from the acids and colourants in sauces; it has a great resistance to impact and maintains its properties from the lowest to the highest temperatures, so it is perfect for both freezing and for preparations like a bain-marie; and it can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.
Araven’s containers also comply with the PC-SAFE regulations on migrations of plastic substances to foods, they have the NSF Certification (National Sanitation Foundation) and, thanks to their special design, prevent the accumulation of debris.
This Araven product was presented in January at the international gastronomic event, Madrid Fusion and, in February, at the professional show, HIP (Hospitality Innovation Planet).
