The Shop & Roll 34 L basket with its antibacterial handle provides shoppers with a product they can trust whilst at the same time helping establishments to improve their brand image.
(Zaragoza, 10th February 2010).- As part of its ongoing efforts to innovate and improve its products, ARAVEN, the Zaragoza-based company, has launched the world’s first shopping basket with an antibacterial handle. The 34 litre Shop & Roll basket includes a handle that has been made with the first antibacterial agent and inorganic deodorant developed in the world that prevents the proliferation of bacteria and unpleasant odours, is apt for contact with foodstuffs and does not irritate the skin.
A lot of shoppers are of the opinion that shopping basket handles have been touched by so many different hands that they may pass on diseases and they think that these items should be cleaner, especially when they are used in food supermarkets. The Shop & Roll basket with its antibacterial handle provides shoppers with a product they can trust whilst enabling establishments to improve their brand image.
Shop & Roll baskets with their antibacterial handle have a sticker that indicates this in four languages. The antibacterial agent used is certified by the Food and Medicaments Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the US National Sanitation Foundation.
The improved Shop & Roll basket handle is now also stronger and more ergonomic. There are no bothersome rivets and the rounded shape of the tube enhances its flexural strength. Furthermore overinjection of the grip on the tube ensures that it remains totally fixed so that there is no risk of it moving.
(Zaragoza, 22nd February 2010).- ARAVEN has launched its new cutting board, a product that is present in all types of catering establishments. The cutting board, made of polyethylene, strictly complies with the regulations that prevent cross contamination and sources of infection. Compared to the problems that users have with other cutting boards, this Zaragoza-based company offers a safe, hygienic and long-lasting product thanks to its rubber corners, its colour coding and reversibility.
Regulations do not allow the use of cloths (placed under boards to stop them from slipping) in kitchens due to their porosity; they also forbid the use of wooden boards that retain moisture and become a source of infection. ARAVEN responds to the need for a safe, non-slip cutting board by incorporating permanent non-slip corner pieces that are overinjected onto the board. These rubber corners are bonded to the board itself so that there is no risk of them falling off during washing processes. 
Furthermore, the regulations stipulate that foods must not be mixed when using a board and it is recommended to use different colours to prevent cross contaminations. However, board users prefer white boards because they consider that coloured boards may conceal dirt. ARAVEN satisfies both the regulations and consumers with its colour coding system for board corners. Each colour identifies the type of food that has to be handled on each board: red for raw meat, yellow for raw poultry, green for fruit and vegetables, blue for raw fish and white for bread and cheeses.
In addition the new ARAVEN cutting board is reversible, which is a feature that helps to lengthen its life. The board is dishwasher-proof and available in three different sizes: 304 x 204 x 15 mm (thick), 404 x 304 x 20 mm (thick) and 504 x 304 x 30 mm (thick). both sides.
