Notes Regarding Packing and Transport
Elements and modules must be kept at a temperature of 5 to 40°C when being transported. Use an
air-conditioned or heated trailer if this requirement may not be met.
Transport the elements and modules in a container or equivalent in a dry condition and avoid
exposure to rain and wind.
In order to prevent load collapse and overturn, place the products on a level surface and take
measures to prevent load collapse and overturn.
If insects, mice, or other small creatures enter any of the products they may cause product damage.
Avoid storing products in a place where small animals or insects may enter the products, and take
measures to prevent them from entering the products.
Excessive vibration can damage the products. Avoid transporting the products on unpaved roads
when possible. If this is unavoidable, drive at a sufficiently low speed.
Unload and transport the products cautiously and carefully. The products can become damaged if
dropped.
Modules cannot be stacked. In general, the membrane parts of modules are loaded on a pallet and
wrapped, and the diffuser parts of modules are wrapped. Contact us if you need, for instance, the
products to be packaged in a wooden crate.
Refer to Table 5-1(p.32) for packaging specifications and the number of stackable elements for each
type of element when elements are transported alone. Do not stack more than five elements.
WAR N I N G
As the modules are very heavy, when using forklifts and cranes make sure that all apparatus is
inspected and certified, and all operators are certified.
Be sure to follow all handling marks (Figure 5-2).
