Combatting contamination
December 1st 2010

The new closed plastic pallet from Craemer is designed to offer superior contamination-free performance

The new Craemer TC plastic pallet has been specifically designed to overcome the problems associated with some closed deck pallets which have structural flaws involving suspect 'seam' integrity and can be easily damaged.

The new Craemer TC plastic pallet has been specifically designed to overcome these problems. The position of the seam is crucial as is the actual integrity of the weld that holds the two pieces of the pallet together.

If too low, seams have been punctured or cracked due to heavy contact with the forks of a pallet truck. This allows water and other by-products to ingress into the housing and become potential traps for bacteria that could contaminate products in transport. Also, trapped liquid can also increase the tare weight of the pallet and if this becomes frozen, it can expand causing the pallet to crack, weakening the structure further and making the pallet totally unsuitable for use in high hygiene areas. As cracks open further, it's possible that liquids or dirt could escape from the pallet structure to contaminate the unit load.

The firm says: "The new Craemer TC pallet offers a high level of strength and impact damage resistance due primarily to its material content and unique structural design.Manufactured from a high quality HDPE virgin grade light blue material, with a 'honeycomb' shaped internal construction, this design provides for the optimum rigidity and strength with a long service life." Offering high racking and dynamic load capacities (Static 7500 ; Dynamic 1500; High Bay Rack 1250Kg), the standard 1200 x 1000mm TC plastic pallet from Craemer is available with 3 (TC3) or 5(TC5) runners that are chamfered on all approach edges for easy access and removal of hand and electric pallet truck forks. They also feature a 7mm upper deck rim, with the option to customise to include a 22mm rim.
