ARAVEN GN1/2 Cutlery Organiser for Professional Kitchens

A GastroNorm 1/2 cutlery organiser streamlines the flow of cutlery from dishwasher to dining room. After washing, cutlery is placed in the baskets to drain and dry, eliminating the need to handle wet pieces individually. The stand holds the baskets at a convenient height, allowing staff to transfer them directly to the serving area without rearranging or sorting.

The organiser uses the GastroNorm 1/2 standard, which defines a tray size widely adopted in professional kitchens. This ensures the unit fits on standard worktops, trolleys and cupboards designed for the same dimensions. The polypropylene stand supports the baskets securely, while the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) baskets resist heat and moisture from the dishwasher cycle.

To use, remove the baskets from the dishwasher and place them on the stand. Cutlery is sorted into the baskets while still warm, allowing residual heat to complete the drying process. Once dry, the baskets are moved to the serving area, where staff or customers can collect cutlery directly. The stand remains in place for the next load, maintaining a continuous cycle.

The construction consists of a polypropylene stand and four HDPE baskets. Both materials are dishwasher-safe, allowing the entire unit to be cleaned alongside the cutlery. The stand's open design permits air circulation, speeding up drying and reducing the risk of water spots or odours.

The organiser's footprint of 325 by 265 millimetres matches the GastroNorm 1/2 standard, making it compatible with existing kitchen layouts. The height of 150 millimetres provides enough clearance for the baskets without taking up excessive vertical space, allowing it to fit under shelves or on workstations with limited headroom.

Cleaning involves running the stand and baskets through the dishwasher after each use. The smooth surfaces of both polypropylene and HDPE prevent food debris or detergent residue from adhering, reducing the need for manual scrubbing. Regular dishwasher cycles maintain hygiene and keep the unit ready for the next service.
