A lightweight container design from TNT Container Logistics marks a breakthrough in combating the risk of component contamination in bulk food transport and storage.

The Pallecon-Lite has been designed for storing and transporting bulk dry products. The design features an integral lid, which ensures there is no risk of contaminating food products with loose or unattached parts.

TNT's European director for sales and marketing, John Wright, said: 'The fully re-usable unit has been developed in conjunction with a number of meat processing companies. It reduces the risk of contamination as there are no loose parts to worry about and a different liner is used for each application.

'It is therefore ideal for use across the food industry, where hygiene is of paramount importance.'
