The HC Companies Dillen® R6 8520 Short Slim Jim Flat - 20in × 8.19in × 2in - With Ribs - 50-Pack

Dillen® 8520 Slim Jim Flat — Narrow-Bench Format With Ribbed Reinforcement

A standard 1020 flat is 10.5in wide, which does not always fit a narrower bench, shelf, or conveyor lane. The HC Companies Dillen® R6 8520 Short Slim Jim Flat solves that with an 8.19in-wide, 20in-long footprint purpose-built for space-constrained layouts, while still running through the same automated filling and handling equipment as the wider 1020 line.

Ribbed construction along the floor and side walls resists buckling and lateral flex during automated handling, and the flat is injection-molded from quality blended recycled raw materials with additives. It pairs with the IJS06060, IJS08060, and IJS12040 inserts for a complete narrow-format growing system. Sold 50/case, 72 trays per pallet. Legacy code 05-2098.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "8520" format mean?

8520 refers to the flat's narrow 8.5in-wide by 20in-long format, an industry-recognized alternative to the standard 1020 (10in x 20in) flat. It is meant for benches, shelves, and conveyor lanes where the wider standard footprint does not fit.

How do the ribs on this flat help during automated handling?

Ribbed construction adds structural rigidity to the floor and side walls, preventing flex and insert movement during automated filling and handling. That rigidity matters most on production lines running at speed.

Which inserts fit this flat?

This flat is compatible with the IJS06060, IJS08060, and IJS12040 inserts from The HC Companies. Matching insert and flat from the same narrow-format line keeps fit consistent.

Is this flat made from recycled materials?

Yes, it is injection-molded from quality blended recycled raw materials with additives. That gives it a durable, cost-conscious build without sacrificing dimensional consistency.
