The two with confirmed packing data are JR-F22 (five compartments, one bowl-shaped) and JR-F23 (six compartments): both 280 × 210 × 40 mm, 37 g, 200 per carton and about 292,600 trays per 40HQ.

Five or six compartments
JR-F22 has 5 compartments, one bowl-shaped. JR-F23 has 6 compartments. Size, weight, carton and loading are identical, so the choice is about the menu: how many separate items a meal has, and whether one of them needs a deeper, rounded well.
Order samples of both and plate a real menu on each before deciding.
Temperature limits for hot meals
School and canteen food is usually served hot, so the grease barrier matters more here than for chilled packs. The fluorine-free grades are rated for oil up to 50 °C and 70 °CFactory data.
The factory rates the fluorine-free grade for hot liquid at 70 °C, checked over about 3.5 hours (factory data). Food with both oil and water, such as stews, curries and gravy, holds for 1–2 hours without seepage at up to 70 °C. Food served straight from the pot, at 85–95 °C, is above that limit. Trial soups and thin sauces at your real serving temperature before specifying.

Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between the 5-compartment and 6-compartment bagasse trays?
The layout only. JR-F22 has 5 compartments, one bowl-shaped; JR-F23 has 6 compartments. Both are 1,400 ml, 280 × 210 × 40 mm and 37 g, with the same carton (59 × 35 × 22.5 cm, 200 pieces) and the same approximate loading of 292,600 per 40HQ.
Can bagasse compartment trays be used for hot school meals?
Within the grease barrier's limit. Jirun's fluorine-free grades are rated by the factory for oil up to 50 °C or 70 °C; for hot liquid the factory rates the fluorine-free grade at 70 °C, checked over about 3.5 hours, and food with both oil and water, such as stews and curries, holds for 1–2 hours. Food straight from the pot or fryer is hotter than 70 °C and has to cool first. These are factory data, not yet confirmed by a third-party test, so trial samples at your real serving temperature.
How many 1,400 ml compartment trays fit in a 40HQ container?
Approximately 292,600 of JR-F22 or JR-F23: 1,463 cartons of 200, carton 59 × 35 × 22.5 cm, 8.4 kg gross each. A 20GP holds approximately 120,400. These are volume-based estimates.
How long does one container of school meal trays last?
Divide the container quantity by your daily meals. At approximately 292,600 trays per 40HQ, a kitchen serving 1,000 meals a day uses one container in about 292 serving days; at 5,000 meals a day, about 58 serving days.
Do the bagasse compartment trays have lids?
Lid options and lid materials for the compartment trays are being confirmed with the factory model by model. Ask us which lid fits the tray you choose and we will send both as samples.
