Product catalog summary
Overview: Borgarplast produces two types of insulated pallet containers: high-insulated and heavy-duty. The high-insulated type is available in eleven sizes, while the heavy-duty type is available in five sizes, with capacities ranging from 260 to 1,250 litres. The primary difference lies in the insulation material: polyurethane (PUR) foam for high-insulated and polyethylene (PE) foam for heavy-duty containers.
Specifications: Both types are made from PE, approved for food industry use by US and EU authorities. They feature smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, drainage holes, handles, and supports for handling and stacking. The manufacturing method, rotational moulding, ensures strength and durability, with an average service life of 6-8 years.
High-Insulated Containers: These are ideal for situations requiring exceptional insulation, such as when cooling equipment is unavailable or in extreme temperatures. They maintain even temperatures and are suitable for storing fresh fish on ice. The insulation density is 43 g/l with thermal conductivity of 0.023 W/mK. They should not be used for fluids above 35-40°C.
Heavy-Duty Containers: Known for strength and carrying capacity, these are 25-30% heavier than high-insulated types. They are recommended for meat, poultry, and fisheries sectors. Made entirely from PE, they are recyclable and can withstand temperatures from -20°C to 70-80°C.
Design and Handling: Borgarplast containers are designed for easy handling with hand pallet jacks and forklifts. They meet ISO 6780 standards, ensuring compatibility with international transportation requirements. The containers can be fitted with microchips for monitoring, offering advantages over barcoding.
Sizes and Applications: Various sizes cater to different needs, from small boats to large-scale fish processing. Sizes 300 and 350 are used on smaller boats, while sizes 1000 and 1010 are used in saltfish processing and transportation. Size 1400 is the largest, suitable for tuna and warm climates.
Maintenance and Durability: Proper care, especially in freezer stores, extends the service life. The containers are easy to repair and clean, with a reported 30/70 repair rate compared to other manufacturers. Cleaning is recommended with water at 70-80°C and pressure below 200 bars.

Longline binsPalletsPallet containers Borgarplast produces twotypes of insulated pallet con-tainers heavy-duty . The high-insulated type is available in five sizes.The capacity ranges from 260 to 1,250 litres.The difference between the types is in the insulation. type isavailable in eleven sizes while the High-insulated palletcontainers are insulated with polyurethane (PUR) foam while the heavy-duty type is insulatedwith polyethylene (PE) foam. The difference results in the types having different qualities which makes them suitable for different uses.The bottom and the walls of both types are manufactured from PE, which is approved for use in the food industryby the US FDA and DA , and by EU authorities and individual EU countries.The surface is smooth and easy to clean, to meet the most stringent demands for hygiene. The design includes two or four 50mm (2") drainage holes (or none), handles that are fitted on all corners and two supports for easy handling, hoisting and180 rotating . This reduces repair cost and prevents damage of content while stacking. Insulated lids with rubber straps forfastening are available.The manufacturing method - rotational moulding - means that Borgarplast pallet containers offer strength and durability farin excess of that of injection-moulded ones and their average service life in the Icelandic fishing industry is 6-8 years, depend-ing on size and maintenance. > EnvironmentalManagement RegisteredQualitySt System size="-1">

High-insulated pallet containers arepreferable where exceptional insulation properties are needed. Examples are when no cooling equipment is available or in very high or low temperature condi- tions. The pallet container will keep the content at even temperatures or, when needed, at temperatures as low as approx. -18C. high-insulated type is lighter than the heavy-duty type and preferable where pallet containersneed to be moved manually.The key to the insulating properties of the high-insulated type is its polyurethane (PUR) foam insu-lation between the walls. The average density of insulation...

All Borgarplast pallet containers stand on only two supports which, together with other designconsiderations to help the container withstand the impact of forklift truck forks, will reduce the need for maintenance. With proper care, especially in freezer stores, and by not using them to freeze fluids and productsthat contain fluid, they should be exceptionally durable. Their average service life has been 6 to 8 years, depending on their size and maintenance. Amajor buyer has reported a 30/70-repair rate for Borgarplast containers compared to those ofother manufacturers. Repair is easy with hot-air...
