Revolving stacking bin Horeca Van Zon

With experience since 1964, Van Zon is the wholesaler for the catering industry in Belgium. With a wide range of high-quality products and 24/7 Express delivery, Van Zon is an ambitious and innovative company.

Wholesale Van Zon came into contact with Engels Logistiek when they were looking for a sustainable solution for:

* Distribution of the products to the catering industry, chip shops and other customers.
* Order picking in the distribution centers.
* Distribution of the products to the various shops of Horeca van Zon.

Until now, orders have been packed in cardboard boxes and prepared for shipment in roll containers. Cardboard packaging, however, guarantees a lot of waste and in addition, the stacking in the roll containers was not optimal. Together with Engels, we looked for a suitable alternative.

The system with the roll containers worked very well, so a matching container was sought. The internal dimensions of the roll containers were leading in this. However, a container with these qualifications was not available in the current market offer. But as is often the case, every disadvantage has an advantage.

Constructing a new tank involves high start-up costs, but it does give the client the opportunity to be closely involved in the design of the tank from the start.

A revolving stack model was chosen for the construction of the container. This means that the bins with contents can be stacked stably on top of each other and when they are empty, they can be nested into each other with half a turn.

The outer dimensions of the container have become 375x325x225 mm, so that exactly four containers fit on the bottom of a roll container. An orange plastic color was chosen for the personalization in accordance with Van Zon's house style. In addition, on the long side of the box there is a relief print of their slogan:
We love food

The 10,000 revolving stacking bins have now been produced and put into use by Horeca Van Zon to full satisfaction.
