Original equipment manufacturer EDP Australia has introduced a solution to bulk bin handling – the Gantry bin tipper – manufactured in its Mooroopna, Victoria factory.

The company says the Gantry bin tipper facilitates the seamless feeding of various product types into multiple packaging lines, complete with fully automated flow control, tailored to the pack out rates. The unit can deliver products to various feeding hoppers, with a choice of different products. 

EDP Australia says the system boasts the capability of accommodating multiple full bin stacks for both product feeding and empty bin retrieval. It is also gentle on the products, it ensures minimal product drops during the feeding process, making it suitable for various wet or dry product types.

EDP is a supplier of fresh fruit and vegetable grading and packaging solutions, including machinery and consumables, based out of Mooroopna, Victoria. EDP has serviced the Australian and export markets with packaging machinery since 1947. The company has developed strong associations with European manufacturers to add to its domestic and export market range.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.  

The winners of the 62nd annual Australian Export Awards were announced in Canberra yesterday, featuring three winners from the food sector – including dessert manufacturer Frosty Boy Global, in the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category.
