Loadhog, the Sheffield-based returnable packaging firm, has installed a layer pad wash plant in the city to speed up service for key customers, such as Quinn Glass.
Plastic layer pads are used in the transport of transit pallet-stacked products, especially in the glass bottle industry, which dictates that pads are cleaned after every trip.
Loadhog currently washes 2.5 million pads for Quinn Glass annually.
The £500,000 Italian-manufactured machine is one of four in the country. It is located in 10,000 sq ft facility on Blast Lane in Sheffield and is open to other transit packaging companies to use.
Loadhog requires that its plants wash pads to British Retail Consortium's Global Standard for Food Packaging and in accordance with the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Protocol.
Pads are not released to customers until microbiological testing has been carried out.
Wash plant manager Dave Clark said the plant, which can handle seven million pads a year, "opens up a new income stream from other companies requiring a fast turn round pad cleaning service".
