CHEP Pallecon Solutions' new liner range is pre-fit with the MaxiValve, a disposable ball valve, capable of reducing container discharge time by up to 33 per cent.

The new MaxiValve Liners have just been made available throughout the Asia Pacific region to complement CHEP Pallecon's existing suite of intermediate bulk container (IBC) rental solutions.

The 1000-litre liner bags are food contact, Kosher, and Parve approved, and designed for use with CHEP Pallecon Solutions’ IBCs, for the transport of bulk liquid.

They are available in both aseptic and non-aseptic films and are offered as part of the company’s full service container rental program. Depending on the application type, either a pillow or form-fit version of the liner can be used.

The EB125MV, which is manufactured in Australia, is the first bag in this product line. It includes a three-layer construction, providing high-flex resistance while transporting.

The ball valve, unlike butterfly valves, delivers an unrestricted flow of product without additional fitting requirements and has a tamper evident numbered security clip to protect the integrity of the product.

The new range of bags is suitable for applications with fill or exposure temperatures under 80°C, and can be steam sterilised for up to 30 minutes at a temperature of up to 130°C and a pressure bar of 3.

CHEP Pallecon Solutions Asia-Pacific innovation manager, Peter Silk, said: “Our customers are continuously looking for ways to improve the efficiency of their production line. Providing them with a liner bag that reduces the time it takes to decant their product, without compromising the product quality, is a significant breakthrough.”
