This robust 73L RED food-grade tub is ideal for flour, seeds or dough. Durable and practical, it is stackable in use and nests neatly when empty. A simple drop-on lid is available separately to keep contents covered. All tubs in this range share the same diameter, so they stack securely regardless of size.
A set of trolley wheels is also available separately, making it easy to move full tubs around your kitchen or bakery.
Available colours: white, yellow, red, blue and green. Choose the one that best suits your kitchen organisation system.
Size Options & Dimensions
All sizes are stackable and available in the same five colours. Capacities are approximate and based on white flour – denser flours will weigh more for the same volume.
All tubs share the same diameter (42.5 cm / 16.5"). Empty weights range from 1.75–3.7 kg depending on size.
Tub FAQs
Do the tubs stack?
Yes – all tubs share the same diameter (42.5 cm) and stack securely whether lids are on or off.
Does the tub come with a lid?
No, tubs are supplied without lids. Matching drop-on lids are available separately in all colours.
Is the lid airtight?
No – the lid is designed to keep dust and debris out, not to be airtight. These tubs are ideal for flour, dough and seeds, but not for liquids.
How much flour will the tubs hold?
Approximate capacities (based on white flour): 18L ≈ 7kg, 30L ≈ 13kg, 50L ≈ 21kg, 73L ≈ 31kg. Denser flours will weigh more for the same volume.
What are the tub weights and diameter?
All tubs share the same diameter: 42.5 cm (16.5"). Empty weights: 18L = 1.75kg, 30L = 2.5kg, 50L = 3.2kg, 73L = 3.7kg.
Are the tubs food safe?
Yes, the tubs are made from food-grade material and are suitable for direct contact with flour, dough, seeds and other ingredients.
Can the tubs be moved easily?
Yes – optional trolley wheels are available to make moving full tubs around your bakery effortless.

Further Details
Built for commercial food environments, these tough, food-grade storage tubs take daily knocks in stride. Lids are
drop-on (no gasket) for quick access and easy cleaning — ideal for dry goods such as flour and inclusions.
They’re designed to keep dust out and organise stock efficiently, not to form a liquid- or vacuum-tight seal.
Materials & Construction
Manufactured from heavy-duty, food-grade plastic with smooth, easy-clean interiors and robust rims for stacking. The simple
drop-on lid design avoids cracks and perished seals — perfect for busy bakeries where tubs are opened and moved frequently.
Capacity & Sizes
Approximate flour capacity (by weight) depends on flour type and packing. White bread flour is typically 0.55–0.65 kg per litre.
The figures below are indicative:
Nominal Size
Approx. Flour Capacity (kg)
Typical Uses
18 L
~ 10–12 kg
Special flours, inclusions, small batches
30 L
~ 17–20 kg
Core flours, medium batch staging
50 L
~ 28–33 kg
Bulk flour storage
73 L
~ 40–48 kg
High-volume flour or inclusion storage
Heavier inclusions such as seeds or chocolate pieces will weigh more per litre — use the litre volume as your reliable guide.
Care & Hygiene
Wash with warm water and mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.
Dry thoroughly before lidding to prevent condensation and clumping.
Label tubs clearly and operate first-in-first-out rotation for freshness.
Stacking & Handling
Fit lids fully before stacking; the drop-on design keeps dust out and aids alignment.
For professional bakeries, store tubs on shelving or dollies to meet food hygiene best practice and make cleaning easier.
Set a sensible in-house stack limit based on stability, staff height, and shelf load ratings; review within your HACCP or risk assessment.
Use a dolly or trolley to move filled tubs safely — these are very strong but not designed to be carried when full.
