Food and Ingredients Bin on Castors 81L - JW-S81

The Food Tek JW-S81 is a 81 litre food and ingredient bin on 3-inch castors, made from polycarbonate and polypropylene. It is designed for bulk dry ingredients — flour, sugar, rice — and the castors are the reason it works: a full 81 litre bin of flour is not something anyone should be lifting. It has a see-through lid so you can identify the contents without opening it, and a tight clasp to keep the seal. It is 328 mm wide.

Why operators choose the JW-S81

• Castors, not a lift — a full bin of flour at this volume is a manual-handling problem. Rolling it from the store to the bench is the whole point of the format
• See-through lid — identify the contents at a glance instead of opening every bin to find the one you want. In a store with six bins that is real time
• Tight clasp keeps food fresh — the seal is what protects dry goods from moisture and pests. A loose lid on a flour bin is a pest problem waiting to happen
• Polycarbonate and polypropylene — food-safe plastics chosen for impact resistance and clarity rather than the cheapest option
• Safe for storage, transport and measuring — the manufacturer's stated scope - it is a working container, not just a store bin
• Scoops available separately — a scoop is not included. Ordering one means the scoop lives with the bin rather than in the ingredient, which is the hygiene point
• 81 litres at 328 mm wide — the 102 litre model in the same range is 410 mm wide at almost the same depth and height - so you are choosing on floor width, not on footprint shape

Specifications

Venue suitability

The JW-S81 suits bakeries, pizzerias, restaurants and any kitchen storing dry goods in bulk. Sizing is straightforward: work out the floor width you have in the dry store and pick the model that fits — the 81 litre and its sibling are almost identical in depth and height.

Installation & delivery

Nothing to install — it needs no power and no plumbing. It arrives on castors, so placement is a matter of rolling it in. The dimension that matters is the 328 mm width against the gap in your dry store, since depth and height barely change across the range. Order a scoop with it if you do not already have one: the point of a dedicated scoop is that it does not live in the ingredient.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is a scoop included?

No. Scoops are available separately and worth ordering. The hygiene reason is that a dedicated scoop hangs with the bin rather than sitting buried in the ingredient, where it becomes a contamination path.

Q: How does the 81 litre compare with the 102 litre model?

Width, essentially. The 81 litre is 328 mm wide and the 102 litre is 410 mm - and they are within a few millimetres of each other on depth and height. So the decision is how much floor width you have, not how the bin will sit.

Q: What is it made of?

Polycarbonate and polypropylene. Both are food-safe; polycarbonate gives the clarity for the see-through lid and the impact resistance a bin on castors needs.

Q: Can I move it when it is full?

That is what the 3-inch castors are for. A bin of this volume filled with flour is well beyond a safe manual lift, so it is designed to be rolled rather than carried. Check your floor - castors need a reasonably even surface.

Q: Is it covered by a warranty?

One year parts only - labour is not included. Both our structured records agree on that term.

Q: What warranty does the JW-S81 come with?
