Packo manual 2020-7
Example
How many 500 ml Packos (art. no. 4305) with a content weighing
3 kg can be stacked on a pallet at 25°C during 2 months?
The relevant weight share of intermediate layers is 3 kg, so (15 -
3)/0.85 = 14.11. The number of containers that can be stacked on
the lowest container is 14.
Attention! This data is only relevant if containers are not placed in
self-supporting cardboard boxes. The total weight of packaging
placed on a pallet may never exceed the carrying capacity of that
pallet.
In case of a different duration or temperature, please choose the
next appropriate column. For shorter stacking durations, the table
of instruction 5 (Dynamic load) can be of service.
Attention points
Before stacking the drums, the temperature of the contents must
be equal or lower than the ambient temperature.
The maximum stacking time is reduced considerably at
temperatures above 35°C. The stacking load in the table is at 50°C
only 75% of the last mentioned value and at 60°C only 50%.
When a stack is higher than 2.5 meters, the floor angle cannot
exceed 0.5%.
CurTec strongly discommends stacking containers horizontally,
lying on the side.
