New 'liquid handling' website
Arlington Packaging has launched a new website, to attract potential customers looking for a returnable packaging solution
Third anniversary for the Combo container
The Combo was the result of a development project in cooperation with global food and beverage companies that handle large volumes of liquids: it is a folding box made from 100% polypropylene
The new Combo has all the advantages of the existing container: high hygiene, foldable for return efficiency and made from food approved plastic.
However, these enhancements address issues raised by users since the Combo launch in 2003.
Inserting the liner bag and making it ready to fill will be easier with the dropside door.
Opening the door reduces the height of the container's side.
This makes it easier for the user to access the liner, saving time and reducing wastage.
The advantage of the sight glass, with five viewing holes, is that the user is able to see the level of the container's contents, and when the liner bag needs refilling.
Harry Fairbank, Managing Director of Arlington Packaging commented: "The Combo is the result of years of research into a system that offered exceptional hygienic performance and reduced costs per trip compared to existing systems.
The new drop-side door and sight glass provide easier use and greater efficiency.
Both the Combo and the liner are available through us, as a complete liquids handling solution".
In addition to the Drop Side Combo, Arlington has also launched the ComboLife 270, otherwise known as the 'Reefer' box.
This has been manufactured specifically to carry 1000 litres of liquid in a chilled shipping container or lorry.
It is ideal for storing refrigerated produce such as fruit juice and dairy products.
