Sæplast, a division of RPC Group, has expanded its range of rugged and hygienic reusable plastic containers for the food processing industry with the introduction of an additional size.

The new Sæplast 300PE is a square 800x800mm container has a height of 770mm. Its net volume of 268 litres can be increased to 298 litres by removing the handle openings.
Fork lift entry on all four sides of the container results in easier access and transportation.
The 300PE ensures the highest food processing standards similar to all Sæplast containers by offering key hygiene, safety and convenience benefits.
Sæplast said the one piece, triple-wall design and closed cell core offers better durability, meaning all its PE containers last on average between five to seven times longer, when compared to single wall bins.
The inner core avoids absorption of liquid and the tubs do not feature easily broken joints or hard-to-clean crevasses, preventing the harbouring of harmful bacterial growth and making them easy to clean, maintain and repair, the company added.
The avoidance of splintering, metal tearing or corrugated boxes collapsing offers safe handling for users.
The Sæplast 300PE is available in several colours. Sæplast said company logos can be included for individual branding, and tracking options such as barcode, QR code and RFID technology are also available.
Sæplast was founded in 1984, driven by demand from the Icelandic seafood community. In response to local needs, the Sæplast team developed double-walled insulated plastic tubs to expand the quality lifetime of fish.
In December 2017, Sæplast introduced the DXS335 PUR container and lid that was designed as a harvest and transport container for the shrimp, herring, bait, and other fish species transport requirements.
The DXS335 cold chain material handling containers were designed for the seafood industry.
The 100% food grade virgin polyethylene integrated with the polyurethane insulation will assist in keeping fish and ice chilled at the appropriate temperature for ensuring better quality.
Earlier this year, RPC Sæplast has introduced a new storage container for the shellfish industry.
