Reusable containers for plastics cube out well

A reusable bulk container efficiently cubes out tractor trailers by stacking 3-high and 2-across during the shipping of plastic resins from from manufacturers to plastics processors.

A reusable bulk container from plastics rotomolder Meese Orbitron Dunne Company (MOD) efficiently cubes out tractor trailers by stacking 3-high and 2-across during the shipping of plastic resins from manufacturers to plastic processors and compounders.

Safely accommodating up to 600 ib/272kg of powders, pellets and flakes, the durable P-291 container eliminates the use of palletized cardboard shipping containers while permitting the transfer of larger resin quantities.

During empty return, the MOD resin container nests up to 7 high and in storage or warehousing may nest higher.

Rotomolded from linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), the seamless P-291 container features a wall thickness of 0.25 inches, a bulk capacity of 32 cubic feet, a top O.D.

of 44 X 44 inches and a height of 33 inches.

Offered with a lid as standard, the MOD resin container is available in sixteen standard colors.

Custom colors, permanent, molded-in logos and graphics are also available.

The containers may be customized for specific applications with heavier walls, casters, black powder coated bases for rotating head dumpers, steel hasps with lockable lids and other features.

"As our own production needs expanded, we found we needed a more durable, reusable container than the Gaylords that could be used for both shipping and storage," explains John Pape, Vice President of Sales for MOD.

"Our processing demanded 600 pound volumes and they had to ship common carrier.

It's been so successful for us, it makes sense that other processors would need the same container.".
