At PSAplast, innovation and functionality go hand in hand. A prime example is the fish crate with drainage holes – a solution originally developed for the transport of fish, but which quickly found application in other sectors, such as the transport of sliced bread and food products requiring non-standard dimensions, different from the usual 600×400 mm format.
Food safety first
One of the main concerns when transporting food products is cross-contamination, especially when liquids released from upper crates drip onto those below. The drainage holes in this crate are designed to channel liquids along the outer walls of the crates underneath, preventing contamination from substances coming from crates stacked above. This is a key differentiator compared to conventional stackable and nestable crates, where water or other liquids can accumulate and compromise the safety of the transported goods.
Efficiency in logistics
This crate has been designed to optimise loading space. It allows staggered stacking – ideal for the hulls of vessels, where every centimetre counts. This functionality not only maximises space usage but also improves stack stability during maritime transport.
Other key benefits
• Stackable: Allows for efficient organisation in storage and during transport.
Traditional stack and nesting crates, while practical, are not designed for liquid drainage. The accumulation of water or other fluids can lead to contamination of transported goods, compromising quality and food safety. PSAplast’s solution, with strategically positioned drainage holes, eliminates this risk, making it the ideal choice in contexts where hygiene and safety are critical.
• Food-contact safe: Manufactured with certified, food-grade materials.
• Versatile use: Although designed for fish, it is widely used for sliced bread and other products requiring non-standard formats.
• Durability and resistance: This crate has been developed to withstand the demanding conditions of the fishing industry, and is made from materials with UV-resistant properties.
