Product Overview
Stepping up your food service? This isn't just any tray. The Cambro Camtray 360x460mm tray is the unsung hero of busy canteens, bustling cafes, and fast-paced cafeterias across the UK. Crafted from high-impact fibreglass, it’s designed to withstand the daily chaos of a commercial environment, shrugging off drops, knocks, and scrapes with ease. It’s the kind of reliable, no-fuss equipment that lets you focus on the food, not the logistics of serving it.
Perfect for schools, hospitals, workplace cafeterias, and any self-service operation, this tray delivers on both form and function. The generous 360x460mm surface comfortably holds a main plate, a side, and a drink, while the smooth, non-porous surface makes cleaning an absolute doddle.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Northwood Academy in Glasgow recently overhauled its student dining hall. Their existing trays were a mix of mismatched, cracked, and heavily stained plastic that looked tired and were difficult to properly sanitise, causing delays during the lunch rush.
"We serve over 800 pupils in a 90-minute window, so we needed trays that were tough, easy to clean, and looked presentable. The old ones were a constant headache. These Cambro trays have been brilliant; they just work."
Robert Green – Facilities Manager
The academy reported a 30% reduction in cleaning time per tray and has eliminated the need for mid-year replacements, saving significantly on their annual budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack and inspect each tray for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all trays a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any residue from manufacturing and shipping.
- There is no mechanical installation required; they are ready for service straight after washing.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand after every use.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the smooth surface over time.
- Stack the trays with care, allowing air to circulate between them to ensure they dry completely and prevent mould.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or chips that could compromise hygiene and replace trays as needed.

The Cambro Standard: An Investment in Flawless Service
When you buy a Cambro product, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're investing in a legacy of operational excellence. For decades, Cambro has been the trusted name in the world's busiest kitchens, canteens, and event venues for one simple reason: their products are virtually indestructible. This Cambro Camtray 360x460mm tray embodies that promise. While other trays crack, stain, and need replacing season after season, a Cambro tray is a long-term asset. This reduces your total cost of ownership and, more importantly, eliminates the operational headache of equipment failure during peak service. It represents consistency, reliability, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your essential tools will perform flawlessly, day after day, year after year.
Explore more from CambroHow a Smooth Surface Keeps Your Service Safer
Ever wondered why the 'smooth surface' of a Cambro Camtray is such a key feature? It’s all about hygiene and efficiency. Textured or older, scratched trays have tiny microscopic grooves and cracks where food particles and bacteria can hide, making them difficult to truly sanitise. A perfectly smooth, non-porous fibreglass surface has nowhere for germs to cling to.
Think of it like this: trying to clean a brick wall versus a pane of glass. You can wipe the glass clean in one go, but the brick's texture will always hold onto dirt. This tray is the pane of glass. It means a quicker, more effective wash every single time, ensuring you meet hygiene standards with less effort and providing a safer surface for every single customer.
