More Information About 3D Model :
The object described—a specialized Blue Plastic Box Crate Container designated for the Storage and transportation of Fresh Seafood, Fish, and Crab—is formally classified within logistics and fisheries management as a reusable plastic tote, often referred to as a fish box or seafood tray. These containers are integral components of the cold chain required to maintain the quality and safety of aquatic harvests from the point of capture or culture to the processing facility or market endpoint.

Design and Material Specification


The primary material employed in the manufacture of these crates is typically high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or, less frequently, polypropylene (PP). This choice is mandated by stringent regulatory requirements for food contact materials (FCMs) due to the material’s key attributes: non-toxicity, chemical inertness (resistance to brine, weak acids, and cleaning agents), thermal stability, and exceptional resistance to impact damage typical of dockside and industrial environments.

The characteristic blue coloration serves multiple logistical and hygienic purposes. In many jurisdictions, blue is standardized for food-grade, non-meat, chilled products, allowing for quick visual segregation and preventing cross-contamination with containers used for non-food or waste materials. Furthermore, the blue shade often provides superior visual contrast against the white flesh and grey skin of many commercial fish species, aiding quality control inspectors in identifying potential defects or foreign contaminants.

These crates are designed to maximize efficiency within the supply chain:

  1. Stackability and Nesting: Designs often feature reinforced rims and interlocking feet, enabling stable vertical stacking when full (often containing substantial weights of product and ice). Conversely, many models are designed to be nestable when empty, allowing crates to slot inside one another to minimize return freight volume and storage footprint.
  2. Drainage: Most seafood containers incorporate strategically placed drain holes or a peripheral lip designed to channel away melted ice and exudate (drip loss) without compromising the structural integrity of the stack, thereby ensuring that contents remain chilled but not immersed in unhygienic water.
  3. Thermal Performance: The plastic structure aids in insulation, and the design facilitates the efficient application of slurry ice or flaked ice, crucial for maintaining temperatures near 0°C (32°F) to inhibit microbial growth and enzyme degradation in fresh catches, especially sensitive crustaceans like crab.

    ### Application and Operational Context

    In the commercial fisheries sector, these plastic boxes supersede older wooden or metal alternatives due to their superior sanitation capabilities and longevity. They are deployed immediately upon harvest—whether on fishing vessels (trawlers, longliners) or at aquaculture facilities—to consolidate and chill the catch.

    For the transport of whole crab and other delicate or live crustaceans, the containers provide a robust, non-absorbent environment. The smooth interior surfaces minimize abrasion damage to the shells and appendages of the product, which is critical for maintaining market value. The modular size, often aligning with European Standard (Euro-pallet) or equivalent international pallet dimensions, facilitates automated handling via forklifts and standardized cold room racking systems.

    ### Regulatory Compliance and Sanitation

    The use of these containers is subject to rigorous inspection and regulatory oversight, including compliance with principles such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). The non-porous HDPE material is essential for effective sanitation, as it resists bacterial ingress and allows for thorough cleaning and disinfection cycles using high-pressure washing and sanitizing agents, thereby mitigating the risk of spoilage and foodborne illness. The durable nature of the crates ensures they withstand repeated exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals and extreme temperature variations characteristic of the food processing environment.
