The Cambro 30PPD is a translucent drain shelf sized for third size Gastronorm food pans, including Cambro Translucent and Camwear pans of the same size. It sits inside the pan and raises the contents above any liquid that collects at the bottom, so prepped produce, thawing meat and seafood on ice are not left sitting in water, purge or meltwater. The shelf is NSF listed, rated from -40°F to 185°F, and safe in high-heat commercial dishwashers. Sold by the case of 6.
A Simple Insert That Protects Yield
A drain shelf is a perforated false bottom that drops into a food pan. Liquid passes through the perforations and pools underneath while the product stays on top, which keeps washed greens from going limp in standing water, keeps thawing proteins out of their own purge, and lets ice under seafood melt away without the fish sitting in it. The shelf is molded from translucent food-safe plastic that resists stains, acids, odors and cleaning chemicals, and holds up from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C), so it goes from walk-in to dishwasher without special handling.
The payoff is longer usable life for prepped ingredients and fewer transfers between containers: product can be rinsed, drained and stored in the same pan, cutting handling and the cross-contamination risk that comes with it. Drain shelves are available for every Translucent Food Pan size, so one accessory standard covers the whole prep table and walk-in. Each shelf is NSF listed and commercial dishwasher safe.
Why Operators Choose It
- Fits GN third size pans: sized for Cambro Translucent and Camwear third size food pans
- Lifts food above liquid: drippings, purge and meltwater collect below the shelf, not around the product
- Better yield: produce stays crisp and proteins stay out of pooled juices
- Less cross-contamination: store in the same pan you drained in, with no second container to wash
- Translucent: see-through so contents and liquid level are visible without unpacking
- -40°F to 185°F: walk-in, freezer and high-heat dishwasher safe
- NSF listed: meets commercial foodservice sanitation requirements
Ideal For
- Storing washed produce and prepped vegetables
