Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf do?

An insert sits inside the pan and raises product above any liquid that drains off. That keeps cut produce or thawing proteins out of standing moisture, which is the job of a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf.

Which sizes does the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf come in?

Fractions like 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 are stocked, from Winco and Omcan. Match the fraction to your pan so the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf sits level inside.

Do I need a matching pan for a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf?

Yes, the shelf drops into a standard pan of the same fraction, such as Polycarbonate Clear Food Pans. Buy the pan and the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf in the same size so the insert seats properly.

How does a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf help with produce?

Lifting greens, berries, or cut vegetables above drained water slows sogginess and keeps texture longer. A Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf is a simple way to hold washed produce on a cold line.

Are the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf inserts see-through?

Clear polycarbonate means you can see the liquid collecting below and empty the pan before it backs up. That visibility makes the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf easy to monitor through a shift.

When should I add a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf to a pan?

Add one whenever runoff would pool, such as thawing proteins or holding iced seafood on display. Pair it with Cambro Food Pans or value pans, and the Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf keeps product up out of the liquid.

Can I buy a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf on its own?

Sold separately from the pan, the shelf lets you add drainage to wells you already own. Just match the fraction when ordering a Polycarbonate Clear Drain Shelf so it rests flat.
