- Con: As they are sold singly, you need to carefully calculate your stock requirements.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The student union at the University of Aberdeen needed to replace their old, cracked canteen trays before the start of the new academic term. Their existing trays were mismatched, difficult to clean, and looked unprofessional.
"We serve over a thousand meals a day, and our old trays just weren't up to the job. The Kristallon trays are tough, they don't stain from curry or bolognese, and they stack so neatly. They've made a huge difference to our clearing and cleaning process."
David Campbell – Catering Manager
The team reported a 20% faster table turnover during peak lunch hours due to easier clearing and stacking by both customers and staff.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give the trays a quick wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Plan your storage area – these trays stack vertically to maximise your shelf or cupboard space.
- There's no assembly needed. They are ready to go straight out of the box.
Keeping It Going
- These trays are fully dishwasher safe, making them ideal for quick turnaround in commercial machines.
- To avoid scratching the surface, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh wire wool.
- Wipe away any heavy food residue before stacking to keep them clean and hygienic.
- Regularly check for any signs of damage to ensure they remain safe for customer use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray flexible?
A: Not at all. It features a sturdy polypropylene construction that is specifically designed to resist flexing, even when carrying heavy items.
Q: Can it handle hot plates straight from a serving counter?
A: Yes, it’s designed to handle typical food service temperatures, making it perfectly suitable for carrying hot plates.
Q: How heavy is one tray?
A: It's very lightweight at just 0.52kg, making it easy for customers of all ages to carry.
Q: Will the green colour fade after many washes?
A: The vibrant green colour is integrated into the polypropylene material itself, making it highly resistant to fading from washing or daily use.
Q: What exactly does 'non-porous' mean for a tray?
A: It means the surface won't absorb liquids or food particles. This is key for hygiene as it prevents stubborn stains and lingering odours from things like coffee, curry or tomato-based sauces.
Q: Can I scrub it with a scouring pad?
A: It's best to use standard detergents and a soft cloth or sponge. Abrasive cleaners or scouring pads could dull the surface over time.
Q: Is the surface completely non-slip?
A: It's a textured, slip-resistant surface which significantly reduces the movement of items. While not 100% non-slip like a rubber mat, it provides excellent grip for typical use.
Q: Are the trays sold in packs?
A: This particular model, the Kristallon P511, is sold singly, allowing you to buy the exact number you need for your operation.

Explore more from KristallonWhy a 'Textured Surface' is More Than Just a Detail
You might see 'textured surface' on the spec list and think it’s a minor point, but in a busy, self-service environment, it’s a massive plus. Think of it like the tread on a car tyre. A completely smooth, glossy tray is like a bald tyre on a wet road – things can slide everywhere! This tray's subtle, grippy texture creates just enough friction to stop glasses from tipping or plates from shifting as a customer walks from the counter to their table. It’s a small design choice that prevents countless little spills, saving you time on clean-ups and money on breakages.
