BULK handling of refined sugar was expanding steadily and in a few years no sacks would be required. Sugar could be delivered in bulk to shops and discharged pneumatically into store, said Mr. C. M. Williams, of Tate and Lyle, Ltd., in a lecture to the Industrial Transport Association in Liverpool last week.
The use of 13-ton container vehicles which could be filled in a minute and emptied in 25 seconds shortened the turn-round time needed by ships bringing in sugar to refineries, so that each vessel could complete an extra voyage each year.
