Bora Plastik Professional Storage, Transport and Dishwashing Products

Bora Plastik's industrial kitchen products cover very different workflows, from storing prepped food in a GN container to fermenting pizza dough in a proofing tray, from washing glasses in a dish basket to holding bar garnishes in a compartmented container. Choosing the right product should be based not just on exterior dimensions but on whether the material is polycarbonate or polypropylene, lid structure, container depth, and the equipment's role in the hot-cold kitchen.

Bora Plastik is a Turkey-based manufacturer founded by Ibrahim Bora in 1957. Since 2009, the company has developed products for the HoReCa sector under its Corona Professional sub-brand. The extensive Bora Plastik selection on Mutfak10 includes Gastronorm containers and lids, pizza dough proofing trays, bar containers, unbreakable glasses, ice buckets, service carts, pedal trash bins and dishwashing baskets.

How Does the Corona Professional Line Segment Kitchen Flow?

The Corona Professional program divides prep, storage, bar, dishwashing, service and waste management into separate product groups. Two products with a similar plastic material appearance can have different mold, thickness and load behavior for food storage versus dish transport tasks.

A GN container is geared toward holding prepped material in a refrigerator, make-up counter or service counter; a pizza dough proofing tray toward resting portioned dough on a wide, shallow surface; and a dish basket toward separating glasses or plates from each other during washing.

A business should not purchase all plastic products as a single common category. For each piece, usage area, temperature condition, washing method and compatible lid or accessory code should be recorded separately.

How Do Polycarbonate and Polypropylene GN Containers Differ?

Polycarbonate GN containers, thanks to their transparent body, help the product type and remaining amount be seen without opening the lid. In make-up counters, cold prep and storage areas requiring visual stock control, this feature can shorten operation time.

Polypropylene products offer different opacity, flexibility and temperature behavior. Polycarbonate and polypropylene do not have the same impact, chemical and usage-temperature limits. When choosing, it should not be considered sufficient that two products share the same GN ratio; the technical product information should be examined.

In Bora Plastik's selection on Mutfak10, the polycarbonate GN 1/9-65 model is listed with roughly 0.6 liters, and the GN 1/9-100 model with roughly 0.9 liters volume. At the same top surface size, increasing depth raises stock amount; it can make reaching the bottom of the product with tongs or a spoon more difficult.

GN Ratio and Depth Don't Indicate the Same Capacity

The Gastronorm system defines a container's top exterior dimension with modular ratios. Alongside the GN 1/1 main size, smaller divisions such as GN 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 and 1/9 are used. These ratios help different containers fit neatly into the same refrigerated counter or service counter.

Containers at 65, 100, 150 or 200-millimeter depth create different liter capacities at the same GN ratio. A shallow container can be geared toward quickly accessed garnishes and sauces, a deep one toward spare stock or bulky material.

It should be kept in mind that a deep container leaves less shelf space inside a refrigerator. Extra room is needed for the top lid, ladle handle and safe fill level of the product. A container that technically fits the rails can, with its lid, conflict with the adjacent shelf.

Series and Corner Structure in Lid Selection

Bora Plastik GN lids are offered in GN 1/1, GN 1/2, GN 1/3, GN 1/4 and smaller ratios. Not just the lid's nominal size but the series, material and corner shape it was manufactured with should match the container. Forcing similar-looking but different-series lids to close can damage the container edge or the lid.

A flat lid is geared toward storage and stacking, while a lid with a service opening or ladle notch is geared toward passing a tool through the product. Since an opening can increase the product's environmental exposure, it should only be used if the process requires it.

Having a lid does not turn every container into a fully leak-proof transport vessel. If sauce or liquid will be transported, the technical suitability of a gasketed-locking system should be verified and the container kept upright.

Depth Selection in 60 × 40 Dough Proofing Trays

Bora Plastik's pizza dough proofing trays on Mutfak10 are listed with a 60 × 40 centimeter base size in 7.5 and 10-centimeter height options. The same exterior base creates two separate working volumes for different dough ball counts and proofing height.

The 7.5-centimeter tray can provide more compact stacking for portions showing low or medium rise. The 10-centimeter body offers room for more growth margin or higher-weight dough. Fully filling the tray can cause dough balls to merge into each other during fermentation.

A compatible 60 × 40 lid helps limit surface drying and environmental contact. When lidded trays are stacked, total stack height should be compared against the cold room shelf and transport cart.

Product Geometry in Dishwashing Baskets

Bora Plastik's product program includes different baskets geared toward plates, trays, cutlery and glasses. A basket's exterior dimension should match the dishwasher, while its internal compartments should match the diameter and height of the product being washed.

As the number of compartments in a glass basket increases, each compartment's usable diameter can shrink. Wide tumblers, champagne flutes and thin tall glasses may not be safely held in the same basket. For tall glasses, the elevated frame's total height should not exceed the machine's door or guillotine opening.

In plate and tray baskets, products should not be positioned at an angle that blocks the water arm's rotation. A broken wire or divider on the basket can cause porcelain and glass to knock against each other during washing.

How Do Bar Containers and Ice Buckets Affect Service Speed?

Bora Plastik bar containers are offered with three, four, five and six-compartment lidded options. Lemon, orange, olives, cocktail garnish and various auxiliary products can be kept in separate compartments at a single station.

As compartment count increases, each compartment's usable volume shrinks. For a high-variety, low-quantity cocktail bar, six compartments may be preferred; for limited variety and high consumption, a model with larger compartments may be preferred. The lid should be kept closed outside of service, and a separate tong should be used for each product.

Polycarbonate ice buckets come in different volumes such as two and four liters. A strainer model can help separate ice from meltwater accumulating at the base. The bucket and scoop used for beverage ice should not be used for other food or cleaning tasks.

Service Cart and Trash Bin Movement Space

The open plastic service cart on Mutfak10 is geared toward transporting plates, containers or auxiliary equipment between the kitchen and dining room. The load placed on the cart should not exceed the shelf edge, and heavy pieces should be placed on the lower level.

Pedal trash bins come in volumes such as 80, 86, 120 and 125 liters. A large bin can reduce emptying frequency; it increases the weight and footprint of a full bag. The pedal mechanism helps limit hand contact but does not eliminate the need for daily cleaning of the lid, hinge and interior surface.

How Is a Bora Plastik Inventory Standardized?

Products used in prep, cold storage, pizza, bar, dishwashing and waste areas should be listed separately. Material, GN ratio, depth, color, lid and storage location should be recorded for each piece.

Using too many series of similar size can cause lids and accessories to get mixed up. A business can simplify purchasing and spare-part tracking by limiting the GN ratios actually used in its menu.

Cracked, deformed, deeply scratched plastic products or those whose lid no longer seats properly should be pulled from service. All pieces should be fully dried after washing before being stacked.

Material, size, lid and usage area should be evaluated together in the selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Bora Plastik polycarbonate and polypropylene GN containers differ?

Polycarbonate models are generally more transparent, making it easier to see content level. Polypropylene has different flexibility and temperature behavior. Exact usage limits and lid compatibility should be verified from the full product code.

How should the 7.5 and 10-centimeter heights be chosen for a Bora Plastik 60 × 40 dough tray?

The 7.5-centimeter model is geared toward more compact stacking and a low-to-medium rise margin, while the 10-centimeter tray is geared toward higher weight or fermentation volume. Dough balls' growth clearance should be tested with a sample recipe.

What measurements are needed when choosing a Bora Plastik dishwashing basket?

First, the exterior basket size the machine accepts should be determined, then the diameter and height of the glass or plate. Compartment cells should not squeeze the products; when risers are added, the basket should not exceed the machine's opening.
