Empty nest syndrome
June 1st 2008

New from Schoeller Arca Systems is a returnable plastic crate that offers nesting capabilities. Empty containers slide into one another and occupy 80% less space. Users can rotate the crates 180° and stack them when full. The stack nest container is ideal for transporting products such as fresh fruit, salads and vegetables. The plastic is easy to clean and has smooth edges that eliminate bug traps. It does not rust, helping prevent food contamination, and resists moisture, fat and some acids, solvents and chemicals.

The stack nest container is light, yet strong. Base and side perforations allow air circulation and humidity evacuation, which help keep goods fresh. The crate is suitable for use with conveyors and automated stacking equipment, and has an alcove for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips. It weighs 1.7kg and individual load capacity is 15kg. When nested, 220 units will fit on one pallet.
