The Sparta Bronco Round Container is a testament to durability and smart design. It’s not just a basic container—it has been engineered with longevity, efficiency, and hygiene at its core. Whether you work in food manufacturing, dairy processing, or any other hygiene-sensitive industry, it’s built to meet the unique demands of any facility.

Read on to discover how its heavy-duty features and extensive color-coding options can enhance your facility's programs and help your team maintain the highest standards of sanitation and food safety.

Heavy-duty & efficient design

Sparta designed the Bronco container for ultimate durability in any application.

  • Built to Last: Features double-reinforced stress ribs and drag skids for maximum longevity.
  • Efficient Handling: Equipped with ergonomic handholds on the bottom for easier emptying and integrated bag cinches to secure liners.
  • Easy Storage: The stackable design allows for simple and efficient storage when not in use.

Hygienic design & food safety

Food manufacturing facilities have unique needs. The Bronco is designed to help maintain the highest food safety standards. 

  • Certified for Food Contact: The containers are made from food-grade polyethylene and are NSF 2 and NSF 21 certified, making them suitable for storing and separating various food products. They are also USDA-approved. The available locking, press-pull lids are also certified and designed to prevent water from collecting on top.
  • Promotes Organization: A well-ordered work area with a clear focus on food safety makes a positive impression on auditors, customers, and visitors. The Bronco™ container helps promote organization in the workplace.

A part of food manufacturers’ color-coding programs

Food safety is a primary and ongoing priority for manufacturers. As we have written, a well-implemented color-coding system is a simple, powerful tool for preventing the cross-contamination of allergens and foodborne pathogens that can lead to costly product recalls. By assigning specific colors to different areas or applications, you can ensure that tools like the Sparta Bronco container stay within their designated zones, doing only the jobs they are intended for.

The Bronco container is easy to incorporate into any color-coding program. It is available in a wide array of colors—including white, red, yellow, blue, green, gray, brown, black, orange, pink, and purple—and comes in multiple sizes ranging from 10 to 55 gallons. This allows you to easily integrate these containers into your facility's existing color-zoning plan to help minimize risk.

Discover the advantages of using color-coding

Implementing a color-coding system is a key part of regulatory compliance and a commitment to food safety. By implementing color-coded tools like the Bronco, your facility can: 

  • Minimize Cross-Contamination: Reduce the risk of contamination from microorganisms and allergens by separating processes and zones.
  • Improve Efficiency: Ensure equipment is easy to locate and always in the correct place.
  • Enhance Communication: A color-based system is easy for all employees to understand, regardless of language skills.
