Product Information
Full details
The Hendi Cooling Element (707753) is an essential tool for catering professionals and food service operators who require reliable temperature control during transportation. Designed specifically for GN 1/1 thermoboxes and containers, this eutectic plate maintains a steady environment between 12 and 10°C for up to 34 hours, ensuring food safety and quality. While it offers industry-leading cooling duration, the caveat is that it requires a full 24-hour preparation period in a professional freezer set to -18°C before it can be deployed for service.

FAQs
Does this cooling element freeze food?
No, it is designed to maintain temperatures between 10°C and 12°C, which is ideal for keeping food chilled but not frozen.
Can I use this in a domestic freezer?
Only if your domestic freezer can maintain a constant temperature of -18°C and has enough space to accommodate the plate for 24 hours.
How do I know if the plate is ready for use?
The plate should feel solid throughout with no movement of liquid inside after the 24-hour freezing period.
Is the material inside toxic?
The internal eutectic mixture is safe, but the casing should not be punctured; if it is punctured, discard the unit immediately.
How many elements should I use for one GN 1/1 box?
One element is typically sufficient for a standard GN 1/1 thermobox, provided the box remains closed during transport.
Troubleshooting
The element is not staying cold for the full 34 hours.
Ensure the freezer is calibrated to exactly -18°C or colder and that the element has been inside for at least 24 hours.
The element does not fit in the container.
Verify that your thermobox is a true GN 1/1 size and that there is no ice buildup inside the container blocking the slot.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, the cooling element must be placed in a freezer set to a minimum of -18°C for 24 hours. Placing it in a warmer freezer will prevent the internal eutectic mixture from fully solidifying, which compromises the cooling duration. When cleaning, wipe the surface with a non-abrasive, food-safe sanitizing cloth; do not submerge in boiling water or use harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the outer plastic casing. Inspect the plate for structural cracks before each use to prevent any leakage of the internal coolant.
