Excerpt from Handling and Storage of Apples in Pallet Boxes Apple producers and storage and packinghouse operators have shown great interest in pallet boxes in the past 2 years. Pallet boxes are not an innovation for the handling and storage of agricultural products. In 1944, studies were made in Colorado on their use in connection with potatoes. One of the largest early users of pallet boxes is located in Clear Lake, Iowa. This operator's entire crop of potatoes and onions are conditioned, stored, and handled in pallet boxes. Results of studies made there indicate that pallet boxes can reduce labor requirements and invest ment in facilities, and maintain the quality of the product. The pallet box method of handling is rapidly spreading into use in packing and storage houses for other agricultural products.

Excerpt from Cooling Apples in Pallet Boxes In the Pacific Northwest alone, large sums of money are spent annually for pallet boxes and related equipment. This report should furnish guidance to the manufacturer and purchaser alike on the requirements for obtaining the best cooling qualities from a pallet box. Cooling studies are being continued, and information on these will be published as soon as the data become available. The results reported are based upon cooling studies conducted in four apple cold-storage houses. There has been an increasing interest in the cooling rate of apples stored in pallet boxes. It is the purpose of this report to show the general requirements for proper cooling of apples in pallet boxes.

Excerpt from Development of a Hydrohandling System for Sorting and Sizing Apples for Storage in Pallet Boxes Several properties and characteristics of apples likely to affect their behavior during handling in water were investigated. They were related to positioning of the fruit in the water, fruit reao tions to applied forces Of propulsion, and fruit response to buoyancy forces.

Excerpt from Handling Empty Apple Boxes in Pacific Northwest Packing and Storage Houses Millions of boxes and other containers are used each year to market the Nation's apple crop. As apples for the fresh market seldom are handled in bulk, some of these boxes are used to handle the fruit all the way from the orchard through the packinghouse and on through the terminal market. These boxes, as well as cartons and baskets, must be handled many times before they are packed with apples and transported to consuming areas.

Excerpt from Evaluation of a Hydrohandling System for Sorting and Sizing Apples for Storage in Pallet Boxes The accumulator comes to rest on the rotating frame in the tank while the pallet box is submerged to the bottom of the tank. When one accumulator has been filled, the submerging conveyor is momentarily turned off while the accumulators are rotated 180° on the rotating rack. With the empty accumulator positioned over the submerging conveyor, the conveyor is restarted. The filled accumulator is now over the empty pallet box. When the lifting mechanism raises the pallet box, it also lifts the filled accumulator and as the unit is removed from the water, the apples settle from the accumulator into the pallet box. At the top of the lift, the pallet box is in line with roller tracks and is rolled away as another box is rolled in to repeat the cycle.
