Absorpole

Absorpole

Although the Absorpole was designed as a shipping container desiccant, it can be used in any instance for removing moisture from the air. For example, storage units, sheds, lockups, caravans, motor homes and static caravans. With an absorption rate 10 times great than silica gel, they are highly cost effective too. The absorption characteristics of calcium chloride provide Absorpole® with a superior absorption capacity, even at low humidity levels, and the ability to effectively protect cargo throughout the entire voyage. Can be used for any type of cargo, such as:

• Capital products
• Textiles and leather
• Wood and paper products
• Plastics, glass and metals
• Electronics and machinery
• Automotive parts
• Food and Drink

Absorpole is to be installed vertically. It is activated by pulling out the inner grey container. After securing the collector with the pin from the back, Absorpole is hung from a container lashing ring with its integrated hook. Make sure to leave at least 25 mm of space between the cargo and the desiccant. Absorpole starts to work immediately. The calcium chloride absorbs moisture from the air and dissolves it into a brine that will be trapped in the off-white collector. Once captured, the moisture will not re-evaporate back into the air. Generally, 4 – 6 poles are required for 20-foot containers and 6 – 8 poles for 40-foot containers. The number may vary depending on the length of the voyage, the range of temperatures encountered and the type of cargo protected. For shipping over 60 days we’d suggest in a 20-foot container 6-8 poles for dry goods and 8-10 for wet goods and in 40-foot containers, 10-12 poles for dry goods and 12-14 for wet goods. Absorpole is made using recycled plastics and salt, which are non-toxic and recyclable. Absorpole is a one-time product and can be disposed with regular waste.
