This offer ends in:
This polypropylene dough box stores and proves up to 10.9 litres of pizza dough in pizzerias, bakeries and catering operations. External dimensions are 570x384x74mm. The unit weighs 0.93kg and stacks vertically to maximise cold room and prep bench space.
Commercial Application
Dough is portioned, shaped into balls, and placed in the box for cold fermentation. Temperature-controlled proofing between 4°C and 8°C develops flavour and dough structure over 24 to 72 hours. The stackable footprint allows high-volume operations to store multiple batches without occupying excessive refrigerator space.
During service, dough balls are removed at controlled intervals to reach room temperature. The shallow 74mm height permits even cold air circulation around each dough piece. Operators transfer dough directly to shaping stations or bench surfaces, then return unused portions to refrigeration between service periods.
Key Operational Advantages
- 10.9-litre capacity holds multiple 250g to 300g dough balls for 12-inch pizza production

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What dough weight does the 10.9-litre capacity accommodate?
A: The box holds approximately 8 to 12 dough balls of 250g to 300g each, depending on shaping method and air space required for proofing. Total dough weight should not exceed 3.5kg to permit adequate cold air circulation. Operators adjust ball count based on hydration percentage and fermentation duration.
Q: Can this box withstand commercial blast chiller temperatures?
A: Polypropylene remains stable from -10°C to +60°C. The material will not crack or deform in blast chillers operating at -18°C or in heated proofing cabinets up to 40°C. Thermal shock resistance allows transfer from refrigeration to room temperature without structural damage.
Q: Does the stackable design require a separate lid for each box?
A: Each box requires one GZFH608 lid for secure coverage during storage and transport. The base of the upper box sits on the lid of the lower box when stacked. Lids prevent dough skin formation and cross-contamination between batches stored at different fermentation stages.
Q: How many boxes stack vertically without load deformation?
A: The polypropylene base supports four loaded boxes stacked vertically without flex or deformation. Total stack height is approximately 300mm. Cold room shelving should be spaced at 320mm intervals to permit safe stacking and air circulation around each unit.
Q: What cleaning procedure is compatible with this polypropylene material?
A: Wash with hot water at 50°C to 60°C and alkaline detergent suitable for food contact surfaces. Rinse with clean water and air-dry inverted on rack. Polypropylene withstands commercial dishwasher cycles at 65°C. Do not use abrasive pads that scratch internal surfaces.
