This offer ends in:
This 21.3-litre polypropylene dough box holds proofing pizza dough in commercial pizzerias and bakery operations. External dimensions are 570×385×130mm. Operators use it for controlled fermentation and walk-in cooler storage before service.
Commercial Application
Pizzerias batch-proof dough balls for multiple service periods. The white PP material resists fat absorption and maintains sanitation standards across repeated refrigeration cycles. Each box holds 8–12 dough balls depending on portion weight.
Staff retrieve boxes from walk-in units during prep. The stackable profile reduces cooler footprint when holding 24- to 72-hour cold-fermented dough. Transparent alternatives exist, but white PP hides surface discolouration under high-turnover conditions.

Construction & Build Quality
Food-grade polypropylene resists lipid migration and survives commercial dishwasher cycles at 80°C. Corner radii are reinforced to prevent stress fractures under stacked loads. White pigment is FDA- and EU-approved for direct food contact.
- Injection-moulded polypropylene with 2mm minimum wall thickness
- Reinforced corner ribs distribute stacking load across four points
- Smooth interior surface prevents dough tearing during removal
Suitable Operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What dough weight does 21.3 litres hold?
A: Eight to twelve 250g pizza dough balls fit in one box depending on hydration level. Higher-hydration dough requires more headspace during proofing. Operators typically allocate 1.8–2.2 litres per ball.
Q: Does polypropylene survive commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: PP withstands 80°C rinse temperatures in rack dishwashers. Avoid caustic detergents above pH 12. Air-dry inverted to prevent pooling in corner radii.
Q: Can boxes stack inside walk-in coolers without crushing dough?
A: Corner ribs lift the base 15mm above the lid surface when stacked. This clearance prevents compression of proofing dough. Maximum stable stack height is eight units when fully loaded.
Q: Is the white colour food-contact certified for UK and EU operations?
A: Yes. Pigment meets EU Regulation 10/2011 and UK retained law for plastic food contact materials. CE marking confirms compliance with commercial hygiene standards.
Q: What GN rack systems accept 570×385mm footprint boxes?
A: The box fits GN 1/1 racking with 530mm internal width. Verify walk-in shelf depth before ordering—385mm requires 400mm minimum clearance. Standard aluminium racking accommodates this profile.
