Returnable containers

Chillpac(TM) returnable containers provide a way to reduce costs and increase productivity in food handling and distribution, the co. notes. Returnable ChillPacs feature a 24x20-in. footprint in 7-, 10- and 13-in. heights. The food containers can go from processors to distributors to retailers, efficiently chilling and cooling poultry, meat, seafood, produce and prepared foods. ChillPacs are suitable for case-ready distribution applications. The different container sizes stack and nest together, maximizing cube efficiency on 48x40-in. pallets. They offer flexibility to meet the requirements of users throughout the food supply chain, the co. says. Pivoting steel bails swing in for stacking and out for nesting storage. The open-weave side and bottom design maximizes air flow to minimize cooling time and optimize heat dissipation for uniform coolness, the co. adds. The molded-in handles and uniform design facilitate use with automated handling systems. The containers are molded from FDA/USDA-approved materials. They also resist impact, moisture and temperature extremes of –20 deg F to +120 deg F. Pallets and dollies are available to facilitate handling and distribution.
