Schoeller Allibert, a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of returnable and recyclable plastic packaging solutions, has announced the launch of its new hopper product for the beverage industry.
The Magnum Optimum 1208 Hopper® adds a specialist cap and closures dispenser with a 1200mm x 800mm footprint to Schoeller Allibert’s range of strong foldable large containers.
Its special hopper base eliminates packaging waste and removes the need for liners, a separate pallet base, or cardboard frames.
The new hopper has a usable volume of 725 litres and is capable of handling loads of up to 500kg, while also folding up so that 165 units can be transported in a standard trailer.
Nick James, Sales Director, at Schoeller Allibert said: “The Magnum Optimum 1208 Hopper® shows that Schoeller Allibert is ready to meet any challenges posed by the future of logistics. With its clever folding design, the 1208 will save space in delivery vehicles, helping to maximise the efficiency of your supply chains. Like all Schoeller Allibert products, it is reusable and sustainable, and can be fully recycled at the end of its service life to further minimise the impact your company has on the environment. We firmly believe that this product will become the benchmark for shipping caps and closures in the beverage industry.”
The Magnum Optimum 1208 Hopper® dispenses parts through a base opening quickly and evenly while enabling complete control of the flow.
One operator can fold or unfold the hopper in five seconds, while anti-slip plugs make it safer and easier to handle.
The product is fully configurable and comes with options including a dust cover, long or short sidewalls, a label holder and multiple base footprints.
It will be available to rent and can be tracked through Schoeller Allibert’s SmartLink® platform, which enables real-time tracking for deliveries. To find out more about Schoeller Allibert, please visit www.schoellerallibert.com/uk
