- Expanded Polystyrene containers in Expanded Polystyrene containers.
- EPS Expanded Polystyrene
- document WO 2019/157607 discloses an arrangement of EPS boxes grouped in a tower on a pallet, where said boxes are distributed in at least 7 rows each consisting of three boxes separated from each other by a separation and arranged in a cross-stacking or cross-stacking configuration.
- the box is made up of a rectangular body having a top opening and a lid, where the body has a base with stacking slots and the lid comprises stacking projections.
- the box is approximately 800 mm long, 400 mm wide and 300 mm high with an internal volume of 61 L.
- the box and stacking configuration proposed in document WO 2019/157607 allows the distribution of boxes on standard pallets of 1.2m x 0.8m, ensuring that the boxes are supported on 100% of their base, allowing optimal distribution of weight loads and at the same time an adequate refrigeration flow to the interior of the truck.
- the dimensions that the box proposed in the aforementioned document must have to comply with the transport conditions have drawbacks.
- the 800 mm length of the box is not enough to fully stretch the fish inside it, and must be placed flexed, which causes difficulties in the operation and waste of useful space inside the box.
- an expanded polystyrene (EPS) box for the transport and storage of food, which comprises a rectangular body that has a top opening and a lid.
- the box body has a base with stacking slots and the lid comprises stacking projections, the latter being configured to engage with the stacking slots in the base.
- the box comprises a length in the range of 800 to 1,200 mm, a width in the range of 200 to 600 mm and a height in the range of 150 to 350 mm.
- the box has a total length of 1,000 mm, a width of 400 mm and a height of 250 mm.
- an arrangement of boxes grouped in a tower is obtained on a pallet 1,200 mm long by 1,000 mm wide, where said boxes are distributed in at least 9 rows, each one composed of three boxes arranged in parallel, one next to each other. the other and along the pallet (Fig. 5).
- the width of the box is 397, thus leaving a clearance of 6 mm between two adjacent boxes to allow automated erection of the tower by robots.
- EPS pallets for hygiene and thermal insulation issues. On this are distributed the boxes ordered in the way above described.
- the pallet comprises on its upper face stacking projections configured to engage with the boxes that are placed immediately on it.
- the boxes on the lower level remain on a completely isolated surface from the truck floor, preventing heating and melting of the product.
- this element in combination with the proposed box arrangement optimizes the flow of cold air around the boxes.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the EPS box, according to a preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 2a and 2b illustrate the body of the EPS box, according to a preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 3a and 3b illustrate the lid of the EPS box, according to a preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 4a and 4b an EPS pallet, according to a preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a tower of EPS boxes stacked on a pallet.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a tower of EPS boxes stacked on a pallet, according to an alternative modality.
- FIG. 1 shows an EPS box according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, which comprises a preferably rectangular body 10 with a top opening and a lid 20 configured to cover said opening.
- the body 10 comprises at least one wall reinforcement 11 arranged on at least one face of at least one side wall to increase the compressive strength of said wall.
- the wall reinforcing body 11 further comprises a wall support area 12 arranged towards the opening of the box body 10.
- the opening of the body 10 comprises a perimeter edge 13, which corresponds to an upward edge of the opening and is for connection with the lid.
- the body 10 comprises vertical perforations 14 towards the four corners of the body, corner pieces 15 arranged towards the upper corners of the body 10 and at least one lower recess arranged on the outer face of the body 10, defining a surface of grab 16.
- the lower face of the box body comprises a projecting surface 17 preferably in the shape of a cross that gives the box greater resistance, limiting the deformation of the bottom due to the weight of the products inside.
- a pattern of stacking recesses 18 configured to receive stacking projections provided on the outer face of the lid is provided.
- the stacking recesses are in the form of a continuous channel.
- lower recesses 19 that provide a surface for the passage of the straps that allow the boxes to be secured on the pallet.
- a pair of lower pockets 19 are provided at each lower longitudinal edge of the box.
- Figure 3a shows the stacking projections 21 that emerge from the upper face of the lid 20 and that are complementary to the stacking slots on the outer face of the bottom of the body illustrated in Figure 3a.
- the lid also comprises upper recesses 22 that are aligned with the lower recesses of the box body and that also have the purpose of allowing the passage of straps.
- the stacking recesses and projections that the body and the lid have respectively can have any shape complementary to each other and/or be located on any part of their surface.
- the recess and the projection have the shape of a continuous or semi-continuous channel and projection, but they can also be protuberances configured to fit into perforations.
- they could be located in the corners of the lid and body and can even be interchanged, that is, the projections emerge from the bottom of the box to enter into recesses located in the lid.
- Figure 3b illustrates the details of the lower face of the lid 20, where it can be seen that it comprises a perimeter groove 23 to receive the perimeter edge of the box body.
- the lid 20 also comprises a reinforcing structure 24, preferably in the shape of a cross and which seeks to increase the flexural strength of the lid.
- FIGS 4a and 4b show a preferred configuration of a pallet 30 used to stack the boxes of the present invention.
- Pallet 30 is preferably constructed of EPS in a single piece and is made up of a horizontal surface 31 and support legs 32.
- the pallet preferably has a length of 1.2 m and a width of 1 m.
- Pallet 30 allows boxes to be stacked in rows made up of 3 boxes.
- the upper face of the pallet has three support areas 33 circumscribed by a rim 34 that has the shape of the base of a box and is configured so that the boxes are deposited inside it, preventing their movement in relation to the pallet.
- the support areas 23 have a slight separation between them to create the space that allows the entry of the pallets of a robot that assembles the tower of boxes on the pallet.
- the arrangement proposed in the present invention is a stack with three boxes 100 per row, arranged parallel to each other, so that the long wall of the boxes is perpendicular to the longest side. of pallet 20.
- the tower is made up of 9 rows of boxes, giving the tower the appropriate height for its transport in refrigerated trucks.
- the assembly of the box tower can be fully automated through the use of robots.
- a separation is left between boxes so that the pallets of the robot that assembles the tower can enter and exit.
- Said separation is preferably less than 10 mm and more preferably, 3 mm.
- this separation is considered in the design of the boxes, so that the dimensions of the tower fit exactly with those of the pallet.
- Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention, where a lid or grill 40 is arranged on the lid of the boxes 100 located in the upper row, in order to avoid the separation of the three columns of boxes arranged on top. the pallet 20.
- the lid or grill is secured to the pallet by means of bands or ties (not illustrated) that run the full height of the boxes.
