Filled fruit and vegetable bins need protection from sun, rain or hail damage in transit from the orchard or the lands to the pack house. These covers will prevent picked fruit from suffering sunburn or other harmful weather conditions particularly when being harvested in the hottest months. They have a mirror foil on the top side, to reflect the sun’s damaging rays and a thin Polywool® insulation layer to provide further protection. On the reverse side the cover is a tough polypropylene weave which is gentle on the fruit. They can be used repeatedly over many seasons as they are washable and hygienic. The covers are attached to the trailer or truck back by threading nylon rope through the eyelets provided and tying them down. They can also be used to cover and protect fresh fruit and vegetables on open or flat bed trucks.
Rolltainers can best be described as cage containers on wheels and are used extensively in the retail distribution industry for delivering products from central distribution centres to stores. The Thermal Rolltainer Cover can be made from a variety of foils, the strongest of which would be the combination of a food safe polypropylene inner and tough Pur-Textile outer with Polywool® insulation between. They have Velcro sealed openings for ease of access. They are made to client specification and include an identity label and transparent document pocket.
The 3 Layer Thermal Carrier Combi-Box is made from a durable layer of polyurethane pur-textile and/or polypropylene, between which is an insulation layer of 300 g/m² Polywool® wadding. Used in conjunction with 3 layer thermal Medico Bags and frozen gel packs or other cooling agents, the container will optimise the ‘cold chain’ for the transportation of perishables such as ice-cream, medicines and biologicals. The standard size of the Combi-Box is L40 x W60 x H30cms. The recently developed thermal liner for use with plastic crates or lugs is the ideal solution for smaller loads such as those transported by the fast food, catering and pharmaceutical industries.
