FEL Bin Lid Options

PLAST-AX Lids for the FEL Bin range have been a significant move forward for the waste industry in New Zealand, removing the persistent breakage problem with the old style steel bin + plastic lid alternative.

By design, our lids have inherent flex and impact resistance to last in their conditions of use.

PLAST-AX FEL Lids are moulded evenly with big radiuses, strong corners, thick edges, and consistent strength.

Every lid pair sits square, flush, and tight together. It is impossible to achieve this solely at the fitting stage: it is the result of intense design detail.

A nice clean fibreglass hinge rod draws the lids and bin together, secured by a 3mm stainless split pin tidily recessed back between the joins, positioned through a predrilled hole. Please ensure your team fit the split pins provided so that the hinge rod is kept in place throughout the emptying cycles.

It’s bins and lids together, that’s the key.

The same one designer, manufacturer, and supplier for both. The fibreglass hinge-rod provides additional tolerance for the bin and lids to all move together; when there is an impact, the whole unit flexes together and returns back to its original position.

(Conversely, with steel bin hinge rod, often it’s the steel hinge rod that bends – and stays bent – then leaving the plastic lid vulnerable out at an angle; on subsequent empties it is then the lid that gets damaged. This is avoided with the PLAST-AX system) Lids are finished, stored, and stacked in custom-built stillages at PLASTAX. We are fanatical with jigging and storage of lids to ensure they retain the right, lasting polymer memory.

Lid pairs can be supplied in any colour to suit your company branding or to assist in directing waste streams: e.g. Light Grey for cardboard, Yellow for comingled recycling.
