Wenbox Solutions, a Darling Downs farm-based business, is excited to announce the introduction of the GEN250 seed box to Australia.
Beef producers Graham and Wendy Caldwell have supplied the Australian market with seed bins since 2014.
Based near Bell in the western foothills of the Bunya Mountains, north of Dalby, Mr Caldwell is a fifth generation farmer who has long incorporated the GEN250 into his farming practices to maximise his operation’s safety and efficiency.
He said he found them particularly useful for storing excess seed (especially during a mouse plague), inoculating and grading seed, as well as storing pelletised feed for cattle and poultry.
“The GEN250 seed box makes tasks that usually employ one-tonne bags much safer and more efficient due to the fact that they can be operated safely from the side,“ Mr Caldwell said.
“This keeps the operator out of harm’s way and allows him or her to control the rate at which the contents are dispensed.“
The modular bin design holds 1134 kilograms with a volume of 1.65 cubic metres and a collapsed height of only 923 millimetres.
The bins can be stacked up to four high when full and are easily moved around due to their pallet base.
Manufactured from high-density polyethylene, Mr Caldwell said the GEN250® was built for long service and environmentally-friendly seed handling.
The Caldwells have extensive on-farm experience with their products, even developing a chute to facilitate the transfer of flowable product from the GEN250® seed box to the delivery point.
Wendy Caldwell said the GEN250®’s usefulness extended beyond the agricultural sector into industrial and food handling areas where it was necessary to store and move large amounts of flowable product.
She said the bins also worked well as a portable mini silo when placed on a raised stand, allowing the user to dispense the contents into a wheelbarrow or bucket.
And, because the GEN250 is vermin and weatherproof, the contents remain safe and dry.
“Many of our customers buy more bins from us when funds allow and recommend our products to others,“ Mrs Caldwell said.
Wenbox Solutions is the only Australian distributor of the GEN250® seed box, developed and manufactured in Illinois, USA by Seedbox Solution.
