The Smart EZI bin is designed for safe, controlled storage and discharge of bulk, dry granular products for all purposes.
Well known for their polyethylene Smart Silos for bulk dry storage, alongside a range of innovative storage solutions for urea and other bulk farm commodities, Advantage Plastics has added a new product line to its Smart Stakka Series.
The Smart EZI bin is an easily portable silo/hopper designed for safe, controlled storage and discharge of bulk, dry granular products for all purposes.
Food grade rated and fully UV-stabilised, the 7mm thick hoppers are mounted in a durable, galvanised frame, offering a 700l capacity that lends itself to accommodating half-tonne bulk bags, or can be filled with individual 20kg bags.
Clever design details see integral lifting fork pockets to aid easy movement, while a large, removable lid for easy filling, is accessed via integrated side steps. Meanwhile, a directional, fold-down discharge chute allows controlled discharge into all types of receptacles.
Measuring 1300mm long by 1300mm high, with a width of 1200mm each unit weighs in at 150kg empty, offering a 500kg capacity (wheat), while the steeply sloped base offers complete emptying.
Jake Hickmott for Advantage Plastics says it introduced the new Smart EZI bin in response to multiple requests from customers.
“We are also able to offer a broad range of extras to customise the range to individual applications, including offering a customised leg height.”
