Plastic crates for ice cream storage

Ice cream maker Talamini offers a choice of 42 different flavors every season. On a preparation day, about 25,000 scoops of ice cream can be prepared. In a well-conditioned freezer, the ice is stored at exactly the right temperature of -21°C, so that there is sufficient stock when the temperatures start to rise again.

From the ice cream preparation, the ice cream is packed in 5 liter containers, the ideal content for the ice cream parlors. The bins have a conical shape, so that they can easily be emptied with an ice cream scoop. However, the conical ice trays are less easy to stack, so the ice trays are stored in freezer-safe Euro standard stacking crates.

The use of plastic stacking crates has several advantages. The crates offer a high carrying capacity so that they can be stacked high. The crates are made of food-grade hdpe, which is resistant to low temperatures. HDPE e is a smooth material, so that the crates can be cleaned easily. At the end of the life of the crates, they can be completely recycled into reusable granulate for the production of new crates.

The ice crates have a smooth, closed bottom and are provided with slit perforations on the sides. This allows cold air to circulate through the crates to keep the ice at the right temperature. On the short sides, the crates have an integrated label carrier for information cards, with which the contents of the crate can be easily identified. The 600x400x165 mm crates are handy and offer space for 3 trays of ice cream. With this weight they are still easy to lift. The stacking bins have an open handle on each side, which makes lifting easier. Talamini uses 600x400 mm dollies to move the crates.
