06 Palletization
Palletization
Each pallet should be fitted with a solid, flat intermediate layer
prior to loading. A pallet should have an almost closed surface
fitted with planks that are no more than 5 cm/ 2 inches apart.
CurTec advises not to exceed a total stacking height of 2 meters.
In case a pallet is placed on top of another pallet, an intermediate
layer is required to enable an equal spread of the pressure. This
layer should also be solid and flat.
Filled containers are placed on a flat surface and stacked by
placing the base of the container in the counter shape of the lid.
Packing
CurTec recommends the use of a heat shrink pallet cover, which
needs to be shrunk around the pallet as well. In addition, the base
of the pallet needs to be stretched with foil as well. The
containers at the base of a stack will carry most of the load and to
avoid a collapse they cannot be deformed by overstretching the
foil or over-heating the cover.
Attention! The total load on the bottom container of a stack may
never exceed the maximum loads as indicated in the tables of
instructions 4 and 5.
Pallet handling
From a safety point of view, CurTec recommends to transport only
one pallet at a time with a fork lift truck. In order not to disturb
the stack, the forks of the truck need to be kept almost horizontal.
