Why solid bulk bins?

We offer three different sizes of solid wall bulk bins (DGM454830-S, DGM454834-S, DGM484853-S) with our wine containers which is also an attractive feature that will not be as prevalent with stainless steel and wood options.

Our solid wall bulk bins are made of high-quality virgin polypropylene, a type of plastic known for its high flexible strength and durability. And this heavy-duty plastic is purpose-built, with just enough "give" to help prevent bumps from machinery and tools from cracking the bins. Every bin is made of FDA-compliant materials. All containers can be easily cleaned before reuse and don't harbor splinters, pests, pathogens, mold, or other undesirable elements like wood can. Our wine containers have a smooth, solid interior designed to eliminate any juice or grape leaks. The rounded corners and smooth interior help prevent your product from any damage you would typically incur with a wooden crate. Como el plástico de polipropileno es un material no poroso, no tendrá que preocuparse por que los contenedores absorban líquidos. This design reduces any risks of bacteria or contamination from insects, keeping the contents safe. El interior liso también facilita muchísimo la limpieza y desinfección.

Because they have an internal flat bottom, smooth curved hygienic surfaces, and a great geometry, they are often used as an inexpensive primary fermenter. They work well for this application because the containers do not absorb heat. The weather during the grape season also influences the quality of wine production. The grape harvest season runs from August to October every year in Napa Valley. Whites like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are harvested next, often in August and September. These grapes don't need as much time on the vine to ripen. Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Malbec come in next. Finally, Cabernet Sauvignon and other robust reds like Petite Sirah are harvested. These grapes are collected during the day or at night by manual shearing or machinery.

Designed with temperature control in mind

Como están diseñados para permitir el control de temperatura, no tendrá que preocuparse por el sobrecalentamiento de las uvas al sol durante el proceso de cosecha. The light color of the wine bins reflects sunlight and, in turn, will absorb less heat, keeping your product from getting too hot. Esta dispersión de calor también es beneficiosa con respecto al contacto de la piel durante el proceso de fermentación. Our DGM484853-S, measuring 48" L x 48" W x 53" H, will hold over 400 gallons during the fermentation process. Our wine harvest containers also have an optional lid that you can purchase for added protection from the sun, insects and pests, and other elements.

Designed to be stacked for transport and storage

Durante la cosecha, es útil poder apilar todos sus contenedores uno encima del otro para ahorrar espacio en sus instalaciones o en el vehículo que transportará la cosecha de uvas a las instalaciones de trituración. Las bases de nuestros contenedores para granel de pared sólida tienen patas diseñadas para apilar, de manera que el contenedor se apila de forma segura sobre el contenedor de abajo sin dañar ningún producto. Estos contenedores de pared sólida se pueden apilar con o sin tapa. The bins are also forklift compatible from all four sides, allowing for easier handling. Muchos contenedores para granel de pared sólida tienen patines, también conocidos como correas para horquillas, que conectan las patas de los laterales largos o cortos del contenedor. Runners on the containers allow the use of a conveyor and/or forklift.

Our solid wall bulk bins will make your winemaking process easier, from field to bottling. Plus, they are environmentally friendly. Since they are 100% made of polypropylene material, you can recycle these containers at the end of their lifecycle.
