Rigid Pallet Containers Streamline Bulk Material Handling

One of the most complex operations is loading and unloading bulk materials. By their nature, they do not have a protective primary packaging. Thus, any mistakes lead to loss of valuable raw materials, foods or other items delivered in bulk. One of the most effective ways of eliminating these mistakes is using the right reusable plastic packaging. Rigid pallet containers used together with our discharging system for pallet boxes help solve this issue.

The Trade-Offs in Handling Bulk Products 

For many warehouse managers dealing with bulk materials, every day includes trade-offs. They can move materials fast, and risk losing part of them due to mishaps. Or they can load and unload them with great care, but taking longer time.

Unfortunately, the current trend in all supply chains is moving fast and getting the orders delivered within increasingly shorter periods of time. This creates pressure from one side – the client side.

However, constant material loss does not go unnoticed at higher managerial levels. They demand clear action to reduce write-offs and other financial losses. This is pressure from the other side – within the organization.

Pushing against Pressure on Both Sides with Logistic Packaging on Your Side

When the pressure is too much to handle, there is only one solution: making everyone happy with fast handling and minimal loss. “That’s like having your cake and eating it, too”, you may say.

However, using the right logistic equipment and packaging materials can make this happen.

Here is how it works:

Rigid Pallet Containers Offer Reliability in Bulk Material Storage 

Companies looking for a sturdy and easy to handle packaging material for bulk items need not look further than the rigid pallet containers. They are truly the heavyweight champions in packaging, storage and transportation.

The key features of these containers are:

• Robust build, adequate for intense and repeated use cycles
• Standard footprint allowing safe and stable stacking
• Base with legs or skids to facilitate handling by forklifts and pallet trucks
• Made of raw materials approved for food contact
• Very high static load – between 2,000 kg and 4,000 kg depending on the model.

These features make these large pallet boxes the ideal choice for storing and shipping bulk materials and products.

Even sensitive items like grains, textiles or fruit (apples, pears, peaches) benefit from optimal protection against:

• Mechanical shocks
• Crushing
• Contamination from spillages, rain or mud
• Damage caused by cracks or splinters in the container base or walls.

Now that we have solved one part of the issue – safe packaging – let us focus on the other half: how to load/unload rigid pallet containers quickly and free from accidents.

Unloading Made Easy with the Discharge System for Pallet Containers

At this point we’d like to introduce our innovative discharge system for pallet containers. We designed this piece of equipment with three ideas in mind:

• Easy and safe unloading, with minimal human labor
• Smooth unloading movement to protect the bulk materials from damage
• Proper handling to avoid damaging the container.

This device makes unloading safe and efficient, at a fraction of the time it would take warehouse workers to perform the operation.

At the same time, it helps prolong the lifespan of the rigid pallet containers, by handling them smoothly and free from mechanical shocks and accidental drops.

Together the containers and the discharging system help warehouse workers unload bulk materials with maximum efficiency, without loss and without the risk of accidents and injuries.
