The HC Companies Dillen® 1020 Vacuum-Formed Flat - Standard Full Depth - Standard Weight - 21in L × 10.5in W × 2.38in H - 100/CS, 36CS/PL-Pack

Dillen® 1020 Vacuum-Formed Flat — Standard Full Depth Standard Weight, 21in L x 10.5in W x 2.38in H

This flat is vacuum-formed from sturdy-gauge polystyrene, a process that draws heated sheet plastic over a mold for consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy run after run. Built for the pace of commercial plant propagation, this flat runs reliably through automated filling and handling equipment, holding consistent throughput across high-volume production. The standard full depth format integrates with existing standard 1020 rack, bench, and dome-cover systems.

The standard-weight gauge balances durability with handling ease for daily greenhouse, retail, and nursery use. Drainage holes let excess water exit freely during watering and irrigation cycles. Sold 100/CS, 36CS/PL, legacy code 05-1088.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vacuum-formed and injection-molded flats?

Vacuum-formed flats are shaped by drawing heated plastic sheet over a mold, typically yielding very consistent gauge and dimensional accuracy. Injection-molded flats are formed by injecting molten plastic into a mold, which allows blended recycled raw materials with additives to be worked into the mix.

How is the Standard Weight designation different from other flats in this series?

Weight designation refers to the material gauge and structural strength used in the flat. Standard Weight sits in the middle of the range, balancing cost and handling ease against the heavier gauges used for the most demanding multi-use environments.

Is this flat compatible with automated filling equipment?

Yes, HC Companies Dillen® flats are designed for consistent performance in automated filling and handling equipment used in commercial greenhouse production. That consistency is what keeps throughput steady run after run.

What is the case quantity for this flat?

Sold 100/CS, 36CS/PL. Contact Cannavista for pallet-level pricing and availability.

What crops is this flat recommended for?

HC Companies Dillen® 1020 flats are used across bedding plants, herbs, perennials, and a wide range of greenhouse and retail propagation crops. The flat itself is crop-agnostic; insert choice is what narrows it to a specific crop format.
