Packo manual 2020-7
03 Use
Filling
The temperature of the content cannot exceed 70°C. The content
has to cool down to 30°C before the container can be closed. The
drum can be closed according to instruction 1.
Freezing
Packo is made of plastic which is resistant to a minimum
temperature of -25°C. As of -5°C, shock load on the containers
should be avoided.
Attention!
The volume of containers filled with water-based
contents can increase by 10%. The chances that containers will
distort are real and it will reduce the stability of a container stack
on a pallet. Please maintain a maximum filling level of 90% and
test the stability of a pallet stacking.
Air transport
During air transport, the pressure drops inside a plane’s cargo
hold, which causes air inside a package wanting to escape. After
landing, normal atmospheric pressure prevails again which,
depending on the amount of escaped air*, can cause the drum
wall to cave in.
CurTec packaging has not been designed to compensate pressure
differences. The construction is such that a correctly closed
packaging allows air to escape relatively fast, but does not allow it
to return easily.
Since CurTec has no influence on the use of its packaging by end
users, they advise to test each transport mode.
It remains the responsibility of end users to verify whether a
package and content comply with relevant transport regulations.
CurTec refers to the regulations mentioned in the UN certificates.
* The quantity depends on the content type (the shape and air between) and the
filling degree/ level
