[Darra]

Dear Co-profesionals.

I have a inquery about a suitable plastic or foam material that is used as a packagin material for sensitiv equipment. This packaging have to withstand outdoor condition such as dust, rain, acid-rain, temperatures between -40 C and +70 C.

If you have any sugestions of materials, coatings and or manufacturing processes, please let me know.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks! #-)

Jet engine handlers ship in steel clam shell casings. The plastic equivalent would be rotomolded flanged half boxes. Clamp or bolt the flanges together. Provide for fork lifting shape on bottoms.

Hi guys!

Thanks for your replays so far. Here is more info...

The size of the equipment that need to use this packaging system varies becouse is made of diffrent components that have to be placed inside a hard shel box in some type a fome or type of plasit that can protect them during transportation. The Shell box is no larger then 1x1 meter.

I was thinking of either some kind of polyurethan or polyeten. Are any of this 2 materials resistent to water, dust and sun (UV)? Are they suitable at all? What manufactoring process can be used?

What do you guys thinsk?

Plese come with suggestions..
Thanks

You can wrap it with plastic shet and then spray with liqiud foam on top of it. The foam is sold in hardware stors and used for outdoor isolation purposes (around the window frame prior to installation).

What is your annual unit volume requirement? And what is the strength requirement, weight of parts being transported etc.

Heat sealed heavy (10 to 20 mil) poly bags with a voc wrap and dessicant will take care of most problems. Rough handling will require some form of external crating. Most machine tools are shipped this way, remaining packaged for up to several months. You could try to find a happy medium in a standard container, but that means shipping back empty, lots of wasted space etc.
