Expert Review and Insights
The APS Pure Cover is one of those brilliantly simple bits of kit that just works. It’s not flashy, but its toughness is immediately obvious. In a buffet environment where things get dropped and clattered constantly, the SAN material is a huge plus. The spoon notch is a small but very welcome detail that shows real thought for the end-user.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pavilion Gardens café in Buxton needed to upgrade their self-service area to improve both presentation and hygiene for their high volume of daily visitors. They replaced their old, mismatched cling-film solutions with the APS DE623 Pure Covers.
"They look so much more professional. Our staff love how easy they are to clean and handle, and customers have peace of mind seeing a proper, hygienic cover on the food. It’s made the whole counter look smarter."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The change resulted in a noticeable reduction in food spoilage and significantly faster replenishment times during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the cover a quick check over to ensure it wasn't damaged in transit.
- Before its first use, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Rinse and dry it completely before placing it over any food items.
- That's it! It’s ready to start protecting your food and impressing your customers.
Keeping It Going
- Clean daily with a food-safe detergent and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
- The cover is commercial dishwasher safe for a convenient and hygienic clean.
- Avoid using harsh scouring pads or abrasive chemicals, which can dull the white finish.
- When not in use, stack them neatly to save space and prevent any scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this food cover dishwasher safe?
A: Absolutely. The SAN plastic is designed to withstand commercial dishwasher cycles. For best results, place it on the top rack away from the direct heating element.
Q: What exactly is SAN plastic?
A: SAN (Styrene-Acrylonitrile) is a strong, rigid, food-grade plastic known for its excellent toughness and resistance to food oils and grease, making it ideal for kitchenware.
Q: How does the antibacterial feature work?
A: The plastic is manufactured with an additive that is harmless to humans but inhibits the growth of common bacteria on the cover's surface, offering an extra layer of food safety.
Q: Will this 195mm cover fit a standard Gastronorm pan?
A: No, this is not a standard GN size. It's designed for specific 190-195mm square dishes or bowls. Always measure your container to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: Can I use this under a heat lamp?
A: We wouldn't recommend it. This cover is designed for cold and ambient food displays. Prolonged exposure to direct heat from lamps could cause it to warp.
Q: Is the material BPA-free?
A: Yes, the food-grade SAN plastic used for the APS Pure Cover is completely BPA-free.
Q: How big is the notch for the spoon?
A: The notch is sized to comfortably accommodate standard buffet serving spoons, sporks, and tongs, but might be too small for a large, round soup ladle.
Q: Does the white material stain easily from things like curry or tomato sauce?
A: SAN is quite stain-resistant. However, with any plastic, it's always best practice to wipe away strongly coloured sauces promptly to maintain its pristine look.

Explore more from APSMore Than Just Plastic: How Antibacterial SAN Works
You see 'antibacterial' on products all the time, but what does it actually mean for a food cover? The SAN (Styrene-Acrylonitrile) plastic used in this cover isn't just tough, it's been specially formulated. Embedded within the material itself are agents that actively disrupt and prevent bacteria from multiplying on the surface.
Think of it like a freshly mopped floor for germs. While a normal plastic surface can be a breeding ground, this antibacterial surface makes it a very unwelcome place for microbes to thrive. This doesn't replace regular cleaning, of course, but it provides a powerful, continuous extra layer of hygiene between washes, helping to keep your food safer from cross-contamination throughout a long service.
