RPP Containers’ line of solid wall bulk bins provides an array of solutions for all things wine. From harvesting to fermenting, the solid wall bulk bins offer storage during almost the entire wine-making process. Consisting of 100% polypropylene material, these containers are lightweight, durable, and FDA approved.
The solid wall bulk bins have an interior consisting of smooth and solid walls and a design that does not allow any juice or grapes to leak out. The rounded corners and smooth interior help prevent your product from any damage that you would typically see with a wooden crate. Since polypropylene plastic is non-porous, there is no need to worry about the bins absorbing liquids, and this design reduces any risks for bacteria or contamination from insects, keeping the contents safe. The smooth interior also makes cleaning and sanitizing extremely easy.
Designed with temperature control in mind, you will not need to worry about your grapes overheating in the hot sun during the harvesting process. This heat dispersion is also beneficial when it comes to skin contact during the fermenting process. The light color of the bins reflects sunlight and, in turn, will absorb less heat, keeping your product from getting too hot. These bins also have an optional lid that you can purchase for added protection from the sun, insects and pests, and other elements.
While harvesting, it is beneficial to be able to stack your full containers on top of one another to save space. The bases of the solid wall bulk bins have feet designed for stacking so that the container is safely and securely stacked on top of the container below without damaging any product. The containers will be able to stack with or without a lid.
Many solid wall bulk bins will have runners, also known as fork straps, connecting the feet on either the long or short sides of the container. The runners can allow the use of a container on a conveyor and provide peace of mind when using the containers with a forklift or pallet jack. The runners will stop the container from tipping over completely if they begin to tip while moving it with a forklift or pallet jack. Some solid wall bulk bins are not sold with fork straps installed but have an option to purchase them separately if needed. If you are emptying the contents of your solid wall bulk bin with a forklift tipper or rotator, some models of the solid wall bulk bins will also have an optional rotator bar, made for this exact use, sold separately.
When it is time for fermentation, any of our solid wall bulk bins can play a part in this process. However, if you are looking for the container that holds the most volume, our DGM484853-S, measuring 48” L x 48” W x 53” H, will hold over 400 gallons. If this larger size is too large for your home winery, there are shorter options available to suit your needs better.
When you are finished using the solid wall bulk bins for the season, you can easily stack and store the containers when not in use to take up less space at your facility. It is important to have a product that will last year after year, and with our solid wall bulk bins, you will get durability and longevity. There is also an option to purchase individual parts, so you do not have to replace the entire unit.
Not only do the solid wall bulk bins make the entire wine-making process a lot easier on you, but they are also environmentally friendly. The containers are made of 100% polypropylene material, so they are recyclable when they reach the end of their life cycle.
