This offer ends in:
The JWEPP180 is an EPP foam insulated carrier for GN1/1 trays, used to transport baked goods, prepared dishes, or temperature-sensitive items between production sites and service locations. Internal cavity measures 535×335×252mm. Thermal loss averages 1–2°C per hour when loaded above 75% capacity and kept closed.
Commercial Application
Bakeries use this carrier to move finished pastries, bread, and confectionery from ovens to display counters or off-site delivery points without temperature loss. Catering operations transport hot plated meals or chilled desserts in GN1/1 trays during multi-site service. Hotel pastry kitchens move morning batch production to banquet halls or satellite kitchens while maintaining internal temperature.
Loading occurs at end of production cycle or immediately after plating. Temperature retention supports 2–4 hour transport windows typical of local delivery routes. EPP foam construction absorbs impact during vehicle transit and stacking in service areas.

Construction & Build Quality
Expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam forms walls and base with closed-cell structure for thermal retention. Material remains stable across –40°C to +120°C temperature range. Black EPP foam withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without surface breakdown.
- High-density EPP foam: closed-cell structure resists moisture absorption
- EU food-safe material: approved for direct food contact
- 100% recyclable: EPP foam can be reprocessed at end of service life
- Top-loading access: no hinge or latch failure points

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the internal capacity in litres?
A: Internal dimensions are 535×335×252mm, giving approximately 45 litres usable volume. Designed for GN1/1 trays up to 65mm depth. Actual tray capacity depends on rim height and stacking.
Q: How long does the carrier maintain temperature?
A: Temperature drops 1–2°C per hour when loaded above 75% capacity and kept closed. Performance depends on starting food temperature and ambient conditions. Typical transport window is 2–4 hours.
Q: Can it hold chilled and hot items equally well?
A: Yes. EPP foam insulates both hot and cold loads. Operating range is –40°C to +120°C. Do not mix hot and cold items in the same carrier.
Q: Is this carrier stackable during storage or transport?
A: Yes. Flat top and base surfaces allow vertical stacking when empty or loaded. EPP foam resists compression under typical stacking loads. Secure stacks during vehicle transit.
Q: What is the carrier weight when loaded with full GN1/1 trays?
A: Empty weight is 1.3 kg. Loaded weight depends on tray contents, typically 6–10 kg for baked goods or plated meals. Single operator can handle loaded unit.
