MOISTURE DAMAGE

Sea Containers are an economical and safe way of shipping almost any kind of cargo. But putting cargo into a closed steal box also entails a constant risk of moisture damage for every kind of cargo on every voyage.

IS YOUR CARGO DRY?
Every year thousands of containerised cargoes suffer moisture damage and condensation damage. Metal products arrive corroded, cardboard boxes moldy and wet and food commodities are found to be unfit for consumption. Millions of dollars are spent on protective packaging, coatings and silica gels that often do not solve the problem.

The solution is to create a dry environment within the shipping container. Absorpole is based on the proven ability of Calcium Chloride to aggressively remove moisture from the air. The resulting brine is collected in a solid plastic container that are hung from lashing hooks.

Absorpole is made only from recycled PE/PP plastics and salt, that are non-toxic.

MOISTURE CONTROL IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS

Whoever has opened a shipping container only to find his valuable cargo rusted, moldy and dripping with water can readily appreciate the dangers of moisture in container transports. Most cases of moisture damage are far less severe ¨peeling labels, spotted surfaces or soggy packaging".

The root cause of moisture damage in container transport is the simple fact that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. Take the dewy grass in the morning after a cool summer night as an example. Moisture gets into the air in the container from the outside or by evaporation from the cargo. When the temperature in the container changes or there is a difference in temperature between different parts of the cargo, damaging moisture conditions arise.

MOISTURE PROCESSES IN THE CONTAINER

A container is a closed system with it's own weather inside. It differs from a
warehouse in that the variation in temperature is much greater. It is not unusual to have containers wherein temperatures range from freezing to 60-70C during the course of a single voyage.
