Product Description

AGRI BINS

The Agri Bin is a reliable, sustainable and profitable plastic alternative to the wooden bins which are usually used for Bulk Storage in a wide range of industries.

What are the features and benefits of the Agri Bin?

• Rounded corners and smoother interior surfaces: The rounded corners and smoother interior surfaces of the Agri Bin help to reduce bruising and damage to produce. This is because the rounded corners are less likely to catch and tear produce, and the smoother interior surfaces do not create friction that can cause produce to rub against each other and bruise.
• Multiple vents in sides and base: The multiple vents in the sides and base of the Agri Bin provide superior airflow. This helps products to cool faster, which gives them valuable shelf life. The vents also help to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and spoilage.
• Unique design with rounded entry: The unique design of the Agri Bin with a rounded entry has a larger forklift entry height than traditional bins. This makes it easier and safer for forklifts to load and unload products from the bin.
• Easy to clean non-absorbent surface: The smooth non-absorbent surface of the Agri Bin does not absorb moisture. The smooth surface also makes it easier to clean and sanitize the bin.
• Compatible with most bin handling equipment: The design of the Agri Bin is compatible with most bin handling equipment. This means that businesses can use the same equipment to load and unload the Agri Bin as they do with traditional bins.
• Small, exterior pads for branding and identification: The Agri Bin also has small, exterior pads that can be used for branding and identification. These pads are a great way for businesses to put their own mark on the bin and make it easy to identify their products.
• Easy, clear ownership identification with hot foil stamping: The Agri Bin can be customized with hot foil stamping to provide easy, clear ownership identification. This is a great way for businesses to protect their products and ensure that they are not misappropriated.
• Positive interlocking foot design permits fast and safe stacking: The positive interlocking foot design of the Agri Bin permits fast and safe stacking. This means that businesses can stack multiple bins on top of each other without fear of them collapsing. This is a great way to save space and maximize storage capacity.
• Eliminates HACCP problems associated with wood: In terms of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), plastic storage bins are a better choice than wooden bins because they are less likely to harbor bacteria and mold. This is because plastic is non-porous and does not absorb moisture. Additionally, plastic is easier to clean and sanitize than wood.
• Weighs 45% less than wooden bins for quicker, safer handling and stacking

What are the HACCP issues that couldoccur with wooden storage bins?

• Bacteria and mold growth: Wood is a porous material, which means that it can absorb moisture and liquids. This can create an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and mold, which can lead to food spoilage and foodborne illness.
• Decomposition: Wood is a natural material, and it will eventually decompose. This can release harmful chemicals into the environment, and it can also contaminate food.
• Insect infestation: Wood is a popular food source for insects, such as termites and carpenter ants. These insects can damage wooden storage bins, and they can also contaminate food.

Plastic storage bins do not have these same problems. They are non-porous, they do not decompose, and they are not a food source for insects. This makes them a safer and more reliable choice for food storage.
