Cambro professional catering equipment
Cambro products are used at various stages of catering operations — from the preparation and storage of food to transport and the serving of meals at the event venue.
The brand’s range may include:
- insulated food containers,
- thermos flasks for food and drinks,
- cooling packs and transport accessories,
- baskets for glassware, cups and crockery,
- basket inserts and dividers,
- product storage containers,
- trolleys and catering back-of-house equipment.
Cambro insulated containers
Insulated containers help to minimise temperature fluctuations in food during transport. They can be used for hot dishes, chilled products and food transported in GN catering containers.
Before making a choice, it is worth checking:
- the GN container sizes supported,
- internal dimensions and capacity,
- the type of opening mechanism,
- stackability,
- compatibility with heating or cooling inserts,
- the weight of the empty container.
A thermal container is not a substitute for a heating or cooling appliance. Food should be placed inside it once it has been properly prepared for transport.
Cooling packs and accessories
Cooling packs can assist in the transport of desserts, dairy products, salads, semi-finished products and other items requiring low temperatures. Before use, they must be prepared in accordance with the instructions and checked for compatibility with the specific container.
Lids, dividers and other items to help organise the contents may also be available for transport containers. When purchasing accessories, please check the series code and product dimensions.
Cambro baskets for glassware and crockery
Catering baskets protect glassware, cups and crockery during washing, storage and transport. Carefully selected dividers limit contact between individual items and help reduce the risk of breakage.
When choosing a basket, consider the following:
- the diameter and height of the glassware,
- the number of dividers,
- the height of the basket with extensions,
- compatibility with commercial dishwashers,
- stackability and transportability.
Transport of food and drinks
Cambro equipment can be used for deliveries, banquets, conferences, outdoor events and at serving points. System solutions help to secure the contents and organise the various stages of loading and unloading.
The brand’s products are ideal for:
- catering companies,
- hotels and conference centres,
- restaurants offering a delivery service,
- canteens and cafeterias,
- hospitals and educational establishments,
- event and sports venues.
How to choose Cambro equipment?
- determine the type of products to be transported,
- check the required scope of use,
- match the capacity and GN size,
- compare external and internal dimensions,
- check the compatibility of lids, inserts and dividers,
- consider how the containers will be carried and stacked,
- check the recommendations for washing and disinfection.
Cleaning and organisation of the back-of-house area
Equipment that comes into contact with food must be washed regularly and dried thoroughly. Particular attention should be paid to corners, seals, lids and the joints between individual components.
It is advisable to label products according to their contents, delivery location or destination. A clear labelling system helps to minimise unnecessary opening of containers and streamlines unloading operations.
Choose Cambro equipment suited to your type of catering, transport time and the food service containers you have. Carefully selected containers, baskets and accessories will help you organise your back-of-house area and safely transport food, drinks and crockery.
