In managing a professional kitchen, the care and efficiency of work tools are fundamental elements. Euroceppi offers a polyethylene cutting board cover that combines durability, safety, and easy maintenance, all while adhering to food contact regulations. Produced at our facility in Stezzano (BG), this cover is the ideal choice for those who want to continue using a wooden block and maintain high-quality working conditions in terms of hygiene.
Technical Features and Benefits
The Euroceppi cutting board cover is made from high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE), a material that ensures excellent physical properties and exceptional durability:
- Dimensions and Shape: The cover can vary in dimensions and adapt to any type of board, thanks to in-house customization; thickness can also be tailored at the customer’s request, ensuring a perfect fit.
- Available Colors: Available in white, dark red, and black (only in specific thicknesses), allowing customization of the kitchen according to visual hygiene needs.
- Impact Resistance and Durability: With a Shore D hardness of 66 and impact resistance without breakage (DIN EN ISO 179 standard), it is designed to last even in the most demanding work environments, typically used for chopping meat with bones.
- Wide Temperature Range: Resistant to temperatures from -100°C to +80°C, perfect for use in both refrigerated and heated environments.
- Non-Toxic Material: The polyethylene used complies with European and Italian food contact regulations, without toxic or hazardous substances.
Hygiene and Maintenance: Daily Simplicity
One of the main strengths of the polyethylene cutting board cover is its ease of maintenance. Here are some tips to keep it hygienic and in perfect condition:
- Daily Cleaning: After use, scrape the surface with a specific scraper to remove residues.
- Deep Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe or can be cleaned with pressure washers for thorough cleaning. If these are not available, it can be washed with boiling water and suitable detergents, following our advice.
- Sanitization: For maximum hygiene, use degreasing detergents and sterilizing disinfectants. A natural method of sanitization is to cover the board with coarse salt overnight to remove impurities and sanitize it.
Compliance with Food Regulations
The Euroceppi cutting board cover is fully compliant with food contact regulations, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 10/2011 and Italian legislation (D.M. 21/03/1973 and DPR 777/82). This certification provides peace of mind for operators and safety for consumers, ensuring that the product is free from toxic contaminants.
Sustainability and Disposal
When the cutting board cover reaches the end of its lifecycle, it can be recycled as PE plastic, contributing to environmental sustainability. For easier recycling, it is recommended to dispose of it clean and separated from other waste, as Euroceppi has been doing for many years.
Conclusion
The polyethylene cutting board cover from Euroceppi is a complete solution for the professional kitchen: durable, safe, compliant with regulations, and above all, easy to maintain. Investing in a high-quality cover means improving the efficiency and safety of your kitchen, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment, even in intensive working conditions.
