Frequently Asked Questions
What size flour bins do you offer?
Richmond supplies a wide range of ingredient bins suitable for storing various dry goods, including flour, grains, and sugar. Our most popular models are designed to hold up to 25kg of flour, making them ideal for bakeries, kitchens, and food production lines that require bulk storage. Compact options are also available for operations with limited space. The bins are built to maximise volume without compromising on mobility or hygiene. If you require storage beyond 25kg or have unique size constraints, Richmond’s in-house engineering team can recommend or manufacture a custom flour storage container to suit your specific operational requirements.
Are your ingredient bins suitable for food use?
Yes. All Richmond ingredient bins are made from certified food-grade polypropylene or polyethylene materials, ensuring safe, hygienic contact with consumable products like flour, sugar, rice, and other dry ingredients. These materials are easy to clean, non-toxic, and compliant with food handling standards. Many bins also feature tight-fitting or hinged lids that help protect ingredients from contamination, moisture, and pests. Some models include clear windows or coloured lids for ingredient visibility and separation. Whether you’re operating in a bakery, commercial kitchen, or food processing plant, you can rely on Richmond’s food-safe ingredient bins to support clean, compliant ingredient storage.
Can I move these bins easily?
Richmond’s mobile ingredient bins are specifically designed for ease of movement within commercial and industrial environments. Each model features durable castor wheels that allow smooth transport across food prep areas, production lines, and storage zones. Some models include swivel castors for tight-turning manoeuvrability, while others feature lockable wheels for safe, stationary use when required. Bins are engineered to roll easily when full, even with 25kg of flour or other dense ingredients. Their low-profile designs often fit under benches or shelving, making them practical in high-traffic or compact spaces. For even greater efficiency, Richmond also offers ingredient bins with ergonomic scoops and handles.
Do you supply commercial flour storage containers?
Yes. Richmond offers a variety of commercial-grade flour storage containers and ingredient bins specifically suited for bakeries, food manufacturers, hospitality venues, and supermarket backrooms. Our commercial flour bins are designed to handle regular, high-volume use and are available in sizes to suit up to 25kg of flour or more. Built from heavy-duty, food-safe plastics, they withstand the daily demands of busy kitchens while keeping ingredients protected and accessible. With mobile options, clear lids, and easy-clean surfaces, Richmond’s commercial flour storage solutions improve productivity, maintain hygiene, and support safe ingredient handling. Custom storage solutions can also be arranged through our engineering team.
