How to link plate sourcing to the existing container

Do not select a new plate by phase point or appearance alone. Verify dimensions, edge, freezing equipment and use procedure for the exact model.

Short answer

Identify the current container and freezing-rack model, then compare the new plate's maker drawing, dimensional tolerances and use instructions. If an approved sample is available, test it in the same equipment and procedure, monitoring fit, damage and records. Phase point is not a product-temperature guarantee; verify performance through route measurements.

GEBHARDT lists article 1006919 at 480 × 280 × 34 mm and -3°C, and 0074699 at the same dimensions and -21°C. These are phase-point and dimension specifications for exact plate codes.

Phase point is not product temperature; matching dimensions or phase point alone does not prove compatibility or equivalent performance. Verify a documented combination with the container, rails and freezing rack.

If the change is approved, trial a limited sample under the current freezing and route procedure. Compare fit, damage and product records, and document the change decision.
