Conceptainer tellap pallet free bulk bags handling&storage foods&beverages

As health and safety regulations in the food and beverage become stricter around the world, it is increasingly important for the logistics sector to develop solutions to protect product integrity and improve handling, stacking and storage systems.

Conceptainer – local specialists in the design and local manufacture of labelling, packaging, transport and storage solutions – supplies an extensive range of products, suitable for the food and beverage sector. These systems include Tellap pallet-free bulk bags, collapsible thrift bins, stillage boxes, label holders, Polypropylene repair bag tape and anti-static Polypropylene corrugated board.

“Our flexible systems are suitable for customers who either need to ship produce great distances or deliver locally. In the food sector, it is critical that foodstuff remains fresh and is easy to identify and locate down the supply chain. All goods must be correctly stored and securely packaged for safe transporting,” explains Ken Mouritzen, Conceptainer. “TELLAP pallet-free bulk bags are a cost-effective and dependable alternative to a normal bulk bag and pallet and are ideally suited to specific requirements in the safe handling of all food and beverage commodities, including canned and bottled goods.

“This patented system has two plastic sleeves integrated into the base of the bulk bag. A standard forklift simply raises the TELLAP from the base – there is no need for the bag to be strapped to a pallet to prevent it from falling off.

“There is also no need for a wooden pallet, no need for fumigation and no need for more than a single operator to do the job. We all know there are many issues associated with wooden pallets – including weight, packaging damage and contamination from splinters, nails and mould. A regular wooden pallet can weigh up to 23 kg while a TELLAP system weighs less than 2.3 kg, which means users are not transporting dead weight, just product.

“With the TELLAP system, users have the assurance of efficient, secure and hygienic packaging, storage and transportation. And most importantly, food goods stay fresh and are safely handled.

“This efficient packaging system uses the space between the sleeves to increase bag volume, which means users are able to transport more product at no additional cost. The reduced number of bags, trucks and containers required offers substantial savings for any business.”

From the time of delivery, users appreciate greater efficiencies and lower operational costs. TELLAP bags offer safety, stability and improved space utilisation in warehousing, containers, rail cars and trucks. They can be stacked securely two high in a container or four high in a warehouse and are loaded and unloaded by one forklift operator.

These environmentally-sustainable pallet-free bags are manufactured from 100% polypropylene. They are recycled or re-used and there is no packaging waste or dumping in landfill. The risk of splinters, contamination or expensive product-loss associated with wooden pallets are a thing of the past.

What’s also important, is TELLAP bags can be customised by Conceptainer, to exact requirements. Options include spouts, liners, baffles and printing.

Apart from the efficient, secure and hygienic packaging, storage and transportation of foods and beverages, the TELLAP pallet-free bulk bag system handles other dry, loose and bulk products, including resins, pharmaceuticals and minerals.
