Stalgast FIFO Vegetable Container 7 Litre

A FIFO container keeps vegetables and other perishable ingredients in the order they arrive. The principle is simple: food loaded first is also the first to be removed. This rotation prevents older stock from being forgotten at the back, reducing waste and ensuring consistent freshness. The container's design enforces the sequence by allowing new items to enter only at one end and older items to exit only at the other, so nothing is missed or left behind. The container is loaded from the top, where a split cover opens in two halves. One side lifts for adding fresh ingredients, while the other side stays closed to keep the existing stock in place. When it is time to use the contents, the second half of the cover opens, revealing the oldest items at the front. This two-stage access means the operator never has to dig through the container or disturb the order of the stock. The container is made of food-safe plastic, chosen for its light weight and resistance to moisture. The base and walls are rigid, so the container keeps its shape when stacked or moved. A set of eight coloured clips—two each of green, blue, yellow and red—snaps onto the lid and container rim. Each clip marks a different batch, supplier or day, making it clear which stock is which without labels or writing. The footprint of 395 by 200 mm fits standard worktop shelves and under-counter refrigerators. The 200 mm height allows comfortable stacking without crushing the contents, and the 7 litre volume holds enough for a service period without overfilling. The container is moved by hand, so its weight stays low enough for one person to lift when full. The smooth polypropylene walls and rounded corners let water sheet away without pooling, so scrubbing after each harvest is rarely needed. The plastic surfaces are wiped with a cloth and sanitiser, and the split cover lifts off for deeper cleaning. The coloured clips are removed and washed separately, then snapped back onto the rim once dry. The container itself is dishwasher-safe, so it can be run through a commercial programme without damage. The catalogue places this container in the storage and organisation section, alongside other FIFO and portioning containers.
