Araven 00241 GN 1/2 Drain Tray

The Araven 00241 GN 1/2 drain tray is a practical accessory for gastronorm containers, used in raw meat and fish storage areas in school, kindergarten and hospital kitchens, as well as other institutional catering facilities. The tray sits at the bottom of a gastronorm container and separates the food from the exudate released during storage of fresh meat and fish.

Exudate contains water and nutrients that can encourage bacterial growth, so proper storage of this type of food requires keeping the liquid away from the product itself. The Araven drain tray has no sharp edges, ridges or recesses where liquid residue or dirt could accumulate, which makes it easier to clean and disinfect after use.

Features

• GN 1/2 format — compatible with gastronorm containers of the matching size.
• Separates the juice (exudate) released by meat and fish from the food itself.
• Sufficiently high rim prevents liquid from flowing back onto the food.
• Rounded design with no sharp corners or recesses — easier to wash.
• Reduces the risk of bacterial growth and spoilage during storage.
• Part of the Araven drain tray range designed for containers of various sizes, including GastroNorm.

Specifications

Using drain trays is especially important during periods of high kitchen workload, when large batches of raw meat and fish are prepared and stored at the same time, making compliance with separate-storage rules a key element of food safety.

Proper organisation of storage for foods that release juice is part of complying with sanitary requirements in an educational or healthcare institution's kitchen. The Araven 00241 drain tray is suitable for equipping cold storage areas and workstations where raw meat and fish semi-finished products are kept separately, and it is used together with matching GN 1/2 gastronorm containers.
