Product Spotlight: Bulk Harvest Bin
March 3, 2010 Decade Products has introduced a new larger size of its MACX bulk harvest bin that directly fits on harvesting equipment to minimize produce handling.
The MACX48 is a 48-by-48 inch vented bin with a maximum load capacity of 1,500 pounds. Like the 48-by-40-inch MACX bin, the MACX 48 is constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) structural foam for strength and impact resistance for a longer-lasting, tough but lightweight stacking bin. The longer length is said to better fit field harvesting equipment and increases volume to 217 gallons.
In addition, The MACX48 features vent slots for faster cooling, drying, and processing times. Its smooth interior surfaces allow for better packout and can be high-pressure washed and sterilized. The HDPE construction is said to meet USDA and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) standards for direct food contact. It is engineered for safe stacking to 10 high for increased warehouse capacity.
