“The Bin of the future” - Dubois Agrinovation

From harvest, handling and storage in the field, warehouse and factory, the Macro Bin is exactly what Dubois Agrinovation have been looking for.

Dubois Agrinovation calls it “the bin of the future” because “quality products require quality containers”.  The bins are made of high resistant injection moulded plastic, meets all the modern requirements of food product handling.

1.       Food product handling

2.       Food quality preservation

3.       Environmental health

4.       Ease of handling

5.       Durability / impact resistance

6.       Work safety

The Macro Bin preserves quality during and after harvest which is something wood could offer but only to a certain standard. The quality requirements by customers and consumers of fresh produce are on a continuous rise, wooden bins can no longer fulfil these requirements.

A key point to make is that the top lip and corners are round which reduces bruising and damage to the produce compared to wood. With ventilation slots on 4 sides and base, cooling becomes more efficient with constant air flow and products will remain fresher longer.

It is easier to create more uniform stacks leaving gaps between each stack which increases air flow during storage helping to maintain an even temperature in all bins.

The cleaning process is a lot easier than wooden bins, disinfection is also made a lot simpler as the plastic is non-porous which is FDA approved. No chemicals or water are absorbed ensuring no organisms or pathogens can be carried like wood which reduces the risk of contamination of the produce.
