In recent years, the use of rotomolded plastic products, such as Tecnotri solutions, has proven effective for grape producers. This is because these items are capable of guaranteeing greater productivity during harvest, guaranteeing the integrity of the fruits and making storage and transportation much easier.
In this article, we will explore how this equipment can benefit the grape harvest, providing more efficient and productive operations.
The use of rotomolded plastic in agribusiness
Made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), these products offer resistance to impacts, chemical agents and climatic variations, ensuring quality and durability not only for construction operations. different segments of the industry, but also for producers and winegrowers.
Rotomolded boxes, containers and pallets are just a few examples of products that have wide application in food harvesting and transportation activities.
How do these solutions contribute to grape production?
The grape harvest is one of the most anticipated moments for winegrowers, especially in regions where wine production is a tradition. During this period, proper handling during harvest is essential to preserve the quality of the final product.
Rotomolded solutions are designed to facilitate handling, reduce food waste and speed up the loading and unloading process. In this type of culture, they optimize processes and generate different benefits:
- High storage capacity: allows the transport of large volumes in fewer trips, reducing travel time and cost and increasing the overall efficiency of the operation.
- Durability and resistance: they are extremely durable and resistant to impacts, adverse weather conditions and chemicals, supporting high weights without deforming.
- Protection of internal contents:during harvest and transport, it is essential to protect the grapes against mechanical damage and contamination. Containers, for example, minimize the risk of crushing, puncturing and cross-contamination.
- Ease of cleaning and hygiene: the surface of these containers is smooth, which facilitates cleaning and disinfection, ensuring compliance with health regulations for the transport of food.
- Safe stacking and space optimization: enable vertical storage in warehouses, sheds and during transport, contributing to logistics.
- Lightness and easy handling: despite their robustness, they are relatively light, helping to reduce the physical effort of workers, as well as increasing the speed at which products can be moved from the field to their destination.
What are the regulations for transporting food?
In Brazil, food transport is regulated by several regulations that aim to guarantee the safety and quality of products intended for human consumption.
Among them, the RDC Resolution no. 91, of May 11, 2021, from the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), which establishes the hygienic-sanitary requirements for the transport of food.
This standard requires, among other measures, that containers used to transport food are manufactured with non-toxic, resistant materials that are easy to clean and disinfect, and that they offer adequate protection against contamination.
ISO 22000 also establishes the appropriate conditions for maintaining food safety, from harvest to table. Its main objectives include:
- Protect consumer health;
- Strengthen food safety;
- Improve food chain performance.
How to effectively meet standards and optimize production?
Rotomolded solutions are developed to comply with food storage, handling and transportation regulations. Low-density polyethylene, the material used to manufacture the models, is non-toxic and does not release substances harmful to health, even in prolonged contact with food.
With asmooth and waterproof surface, it facilitates disinfection, ensuring that there is no accumulation of waste or proliferation of microorganisms. This way, it is possible to optimize the harvesting process, complying with all regulatory requirements and maintaining the integrity and quality of the food.
