Food Storage Bins
Klinge Corporation’s Collapsible Food Storage Bin
(FSB) provides a rugged and reliable transport and
storage system for food and other perishable items.
Made of polypropylene, the FSB was specifically designed for use in ISO containers allowing for maximum cargo capacity.
Six of the FSBs fit inside a 10 ft insulated
container and eighteen fit inside a 20 ft insulated container. The FSB
collapses to a height of 309 mm (12 in), allowing nearly three of the
collapsed FSBs on a return trip to be transported in the space of one.
Sturdiness was not compromised by the collapsible design. The FSBs are
so strong that six can be stacked fully loaded. Yet, each FSB only
weighs 50 kg (110 lb).
DESIGNED AND QUALIFIED TO MILITARY STANDARDS
Klinge Corporation’s Food Storage Bins were
designed and qualified to a
multitude of military tests. The FSBs were
tested at a state-of-the-art
government test facility in Melbourne,
Australia. The FSBs are qualified to the
following tests:
» Salt & Corrosion – A sample of the polypropylene was placed inside a salt test chamber followed by storage in a climatic test chamber set to 40°C/104°F with 93% relative humidity. At the conclusion of the test, no visual changes were apparent.
» Water Pressure – External and internal surfaces of the FSB were sprayed with a high pressure water cleaner at approximately 150 bar and 590 liters (156 gallons) per hour. Following the test, no sign of deformation was found.
» Transit Drop – A FSB loaded with approximately 750 kg (1653 lb) of bottled water was dropped from a height of 30 cm (12 in) and allowed to fall freely. After five drops, no damage was apparent and FSB was able to collapse and re-erect without issue.
» CL2 High Temp – The FSB was subjected to three cycles of the Category A2 conditions. At the conclusion of the test, no visual or functional damage was noted.
» M14 Vibration – The FSBs were loaded into Klinge’s refrigerated containers (operating temperature set to -18°C (0°F) and transported over cross-country terrain and rough course without incident.
» Thermal Shock – The FSB was first stabilized at a set temperature of -25°C(-13°F) in an environmental test chamber and then placed in a secondary chamber set to 70°C (158°F). Five minutes later the FSB was moved back to the original test chamber set at -25°C (-13°F). After the alternating cycles were repeated five times, visual and functional checks were conducted and showed no damage.
» Stacking and Leakage – The FSB was tested to ensure that the FSBs were easily stackable on top of one another, FSBs would withstand stacking for a long period of time, the FSB would not leak into any FSB underneath, and that the FSB would drain when upright.
