Twenty foot containment pans provide large targets for resin spills
Large, 20-foot pans capture plastic pellets, preventing them from getting into the environment. The built-in drains are designed to allow water to flow out but keep pellets contained. The composite system can be built and designed to almost any length, depending on each site’s needs. Easy installation with minimal site preparation and no excavation required.
IMPORTANT: The Ultra-Pellet Pan will not contain liquids of any kind!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the rain water exit the pellet pan?
Each pan is fitted with a number of 3-inch drains. Two in each of the standard pans, three in each composite pan.
-
Can the pellets clog the drain system?
No, water will drain regardless of the amount of pellets that are contained. However, it is important (and not just for proper drainage) that any pellets that are contained by the pans be removed as soon as possible.
-
How are the pans installed?
The installation process for either pan is relatively simple and requires only basic hand tools. Detailed instructions are available here. Product specialists and our technical team are also available should you need further assistance. Please feel free to call them at 904-292-1611 or 800-353-1611.
-
Can the pans be removed for cleaning/inspection once they are installed?
Yes, while the Ultra-Pellet Pans are designed for a long-term installation, they can be removed if necessary.
-
Is the grating necessary?
The grating is required in the standard pans and recommended (but not necessary) for the composite pans.
-
What tools are needed to install the pans?
Basic tools that would be available in almost all workshops is all that is required for the installation. Some slightly more specialized tools may be needed for site preparation. Please see the installation instruction here for a complete list.
-
Are the deflector shields necessary?
Not necessary but HIGHLY recommended. Without them, the pellets are very likely to bounce out of the pans and into the surrounding environment.
-
Are the drains a requirement?
Without drains, they are not pellet pans. UltraTech’s other railroad containment products, the Ultra-Track Pans, are essentially the same as pellet pans but without drains so that they can be used to contain liquid leaks and spills.
-
What is the smallest pellet your pans can capture?
The drains in the Ultra-Pellet Pans are designed to capture pellets 1mm in diameter or larger.
-
How do the Pellet Pans ship?
Because of the length of the Ultra-Pellet Pans, they must be side-loaded onto a dedicated flatbed or conestoga truck. Even a single pan will require this method of shipping. Center pans stack 6 high, and side pans ship 12 high.
-
How many Ultra-Pellet Pans can ship on a truck?
A total of 12 centers and 24 sides can fit on one 48’ flatbed. If shipping alone, 12 centers can ship on one truck and 48 sides can fit on one truck.
