1. Loading of Containers / Product
“SUB-STANDARD CONTAINERS WILL NOT BE USED”
§ All containers will be food grade & inspected prior to loading
§ Container visually clean. e.g. No grease, dust, debris etc.
§ Container dry.
§ No damage to container floor, walls, roof or doors.
§ Door seals intact and in good condition.
§ Photo to be taken of all export containers prior to container doors being closed
§ Product will be loaded the correct way up into containers
2. Slip Sheets – if requred
Slip sheet loads will be securely stretch wrapped around the sides.
Note: does not seal top with stretch wrap or pallet bags as this will create a single pallet environment on which the desiccant will not work.
§ Carefully stack slip sheet loads into container – should any wet, dirty or damaged cartons be identified the will not be loaded into container & exporter will be immediately notified.
§ All cartons will be securely stretch-wrapped and the load will then be put onto approved slip sheets using the pallet inverter. Where cartons or layers are remaining, every attempt should be made to re-stack so that each block is tall enough to be handled by the Pallet Inverter. Loose cartons must not be packed into a container unless the entire container is to be hand stuffed, or if they are secured on all sides by container walls/doors/other product/dunnage bags
3. Air Bags (Dunnage Bags)
Air bags can be used to stabilise the load and to prevent horizontal movement, if gaps are present. Air bags will not be over inflated. Slip sheet will be placed between product and air bag if sharp or uneven surfaces could puncture the bag. The air bag will contact the total surface area of the vertical plane(s) that define the gap. Multiple air bags will be used to fill large gaps (inflated width of a bag should not be greater than 25cm - refer to manufacturers specifications).
No unauthorised packaging shall be used to stabilise the load, as this may add moisture to the container. * Air bags have additional costs
