Explore our top-tier CE certified stainless steel boilers, kettles, and heavy-duty food preparation containers built for international hotel chains, catering enterprises, and industrial food processing.
In modern commercial food processing, hospitality catering, and central kitchen operations, thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and strict hygienic compliance represent the foundational pillars of operational profitability. Gastronorm pan containers (GN pans) designed to European EN 631 standards serve as the structural standard worldwide. Manufactured through precision deep-drawing metallurgical techniques utilizing premium AISI 304 (18/10) and AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel alloys, these containers guarantee uniform heat transference, chemical inertness against food acids, and superior resistance to thermal deformation across extreme temperature spectrums ranging from -40°C cryogenic blast freezing to +300°C convection baking.
Standard GN containers frequently suffer from mechanical vacuum lock when stacked damp. BOHARA’s proprietary deep-drawn anti-jamming shoulder geometry engineered into every CE certified container rim guarantees effortless separation, reducing kitchen labor downtime by up to 18% during high-volume meal prep assembly.
Purchasing teams and commercial kitchen designers require accurate physical tolerances to ensure total integration with Bain-Maries, combi-steamers, blast chillers, and refrigerated prep tables. Below is the technical specification breakdown for standard GN container sizing manufactured by BOHARA Group factories:
| GN Size Designation | Standard Dimensions (mm) | Available Depths (mm) | Max Capacity Range (L) | Recommended Commercial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GN 2/1 | 650 x 530 mm | 20, 40, 65, 100, 150, 200 | 9.0 L – 58.0 L | Large scale institutional catering, banquet combi ovens |
| GN 1/1 | 530 x 325 mm | 20, 40, 65, 100, 150, 200 | 2.5 L – 28.0 L | Standard buffet Bain-Maries, commercial refrigeration |
| GN 1/2 | 325 x 265 mm | 65, 100, 150, 200 | 4.0 L – 12.5 L | Salad prep lines, hot holding modules, sauce stations |
| GN 1/3 | 325 x 176 mm | 65, 100, 150, 200 | 2.5 L – 7.8 L | Condiment holding, specialized ingredient storage |
| GN 1/4 | 265 x 162 mm | 65, 100, 150 | 1.8 L – 4.0 L | Topping stations, quick-service restaurant (QSR) inserts |
| GN 1/6 | 176 x 162 mm | 65, 100, 150 | 1.0 L – 2.4 L | Dressings, spices, garnishes, bar stations |
| GN 1/9 | 176 x 108 mm | 65, 100 | 0.6 L – 1.0 L | High-density small batch toppings & seasoning dips |
Our manufacturing methodology integrates advanced mechanical stamping, seamless corner radii, and automated electrolytic surface passivation to deliver unmatched operational longevity.
Engineered with high nickel (8-10%) and chromium (18-20%) content, providing maximum resistance to pitting corrosion caused by acidic foods, salt brine, and harsh commercial dishwasher detergents.
Specially stamped impact-resistant corners reinforce structural rigidity, preventing denting from accidental drops while facilitating 100% thorough spoon scoops and rapid zero-waste cleaning.
Compliant with European Directive 1935/2004/EC and DGCCRF standards. Guaranteed free of heavy metal leaching, phthalates, and toxic surface coatings for ultimate consumer protection.
Founded in 1974 by Shri J. Bhawarlal Bohara, BOHARA Group originated as a pioneering production workshop committed to delivering peerless stainless steel houseware and culinary utilities. Over five decades of continuous innovation, under the vision of Managing Director Mr. Rakesh Bohara and elder son Mr. Vijayraj Bohara, the organization has scaled into an international manufacturing force exporting premium cookware, tableware, insulated hotpots, and catering equipment to over 50 countries across five continents.
Operated from our strategic trading hub BOHARA TRADING CO LLC in Dubai, UAE, our enterprise combines high-speed precision European hydraulic pressing machinery with rigorous ISO-aligned quality control systems. Whether supplying large-scale commercial importers, hotel supply distributors, or private-label OEM brands, BOHARA guarantees uncompromised material traceability, dimensional accuracy, and supply chain integrity.
As commercial kitchens transition toward digitized inventory management, cloud-connected combi-steamers, and automated dishwashing lines, purchasing director requirements for Gastronorm pans are evolving beyond simple capacity containers. B2B buyers must evaluate key emerging trends shaping the international food logistics landscape:
Modern buffet setups are replacing open flame burners with energy-efficient induction drop-ins. Advanced 3-ply encapsulated base GN containers feature magnetic stainless steel layers allowing direct induction heating without transferring food to separate cookware.
Perforated GN pans engineered with micro-laser punched hole matrices ensure rapid steam penetration in convection ovens and fast liquid drainage during vegetable blanching, saving up to 15% in cooking cycle times.
To minimize food waste during central kitchen delivery, next-generation GN container covers integrate liquid-tight food-grade silicone gaskets and pressure release valves, eliminating spillage during long-distance transport.
When procuring bulk commercial stainless steel containers, structural deficiencies can lead to premature warping, severe corrosion around handles, and non-compliance with HACCP health inspections. Before finalizing enterprise supply contracts, ensure your quality assurance team verifies the following critical benchmarks:
Direct answers to common questions regarding CE certification, material specifications, minimum order quantities, and OEM manufacturing customization.
All BOHARA Gastronorm pans are fully manufactured in compliance with European EN 631 standards for food container dimensions. Furthermore, our production processes hold CE certification, ISO 9001 quality management compliance, and adhere to EU Regulation 1935/2004/EC for food contact safety.
AISI 304 (18/10 Chromium-Nickel) is the commercial kitchen standard, providing outstanding corrosion resistance and durability for daily cooking and food holding. AISI 316 contains added molybdenum, offering superior resistance against highly saline solutions or harsh chemicals. Grade 201 is a budget alternative; however, BOHARA recommends food-grade 304/316 for long-term commercial ROI.
Yes. Every BOHARA stainless steel Gastronorm pan is engineered with precision-stamped anti-jamming stacking shoulders around the interior perimeter. This prevents pans from locking together when nested, ensuring effortless extraction and saving time during fast-paced service.
Absolutley. As a manufacturer and exporter operating since 1974, we specialize in OEM/ODM services. We provide laser-etched brand logos, custom gauge thicknesses, specialized anti-leak lids, barcode labelling, and custom export master cartoning tailored for global wholesale buyers.
