Size doesn’t matter
When it comes to protecting an item from corrosion with the use of aluminium barrier foil packaging, the size of the item doesn’t matter, says Protective Packaging.
The company makes barrier foil bags to suit any item which may be susceptible to corrosion damage, regardless of shape or size.
A recent request to protect large turbine rotors provided the company with the opportunity to demonstrate how the use of tailor made 3D barrier bags provides the quickest and most effective solution for corrosion prevention.
Prior to the use of the tailor made bags, rolls of foil were being used to heat seal around the rotor, a method which was time consuming and also created a lot of waste material.
Protective Packaging successfully quoted for a tailored bag which was then prototyped, being manufactured in two halves to enable lifting and shipment on bespoke transport stillages. The bag was overall 5.75 metres long and 4 metres in diameter.
