Treating fresh produce Mon to Sat (no Sun)

For same day processing and dispatch product must arrive before 03:00 with accurate and complete paperwork. If you are experiencing delays with your produce arriving at Steritech, advise us ASAP and we will assist as best we can.

 

Peak season volumes may impact time of dispatch availability.

Pallet Processing Requirements

Steritech Merrifield can process pallets to maximum dimensions of 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.4m and a maximum weight of 1000kg. If your pallets exceed the height or weight maximum, please note additional charges may be applied. (1000kg limit is due to conveyor weight capacity)

To reduce the cost of over-height/weight pallets for the customer we have added a new charge of $70 per space. IE If a 2.5m pallet or 1200kg pallet is received it will now be charged as 1x standard treatment space + $70. Previously it was charges as two full treatment spaces that are required for processing. This is intended for isolated scenarios and pack styles, not high-volume routine processing. If abused the option may be removed.

ICA-55 Labelling for domestic shipments

Each carton must be labelled in accordance with the ICA-55 Protocol. This information can be added to an existing label. (third line is the date code which must change / be unique to each shipment)

If your produce arrives and is not considered pest proof on a carton or pallet level, a pallet net will be fitted in line with ICA-55 protocol. If you send these nets back to us in good condition, we will reuse and credit you monthly – if you would like to find out more information on this please email hfoladi@steritech.com.au.
