Aluminum products exports are basically used by sea, and the special circumstances of shipping so that a lot of aluminum manufacturers damaged goods, so aluminum sheets sea transportation needs to be noticed.
1, the size of aluminum sheets packaging. Aluminum shipping are basically used containers, and the size of the current standard containers are fixed, in order to facilitate packing, aluminum alloy sheets manufacturers must pay attention to the size of the package first. The right size not only for packing, but also the effective use of container volume, save shipping costs. In addition, if the destination is less developed regions such as Africa, the weight of a single piece of aluminum should not exceed 300kg as far as the local port is not large-scale handling equipment, mainly by hand, too heavy packaging will increase the difficulty of unloading.
2, aluminum alloy manufacturer must not ignore the seaborne packaging tightness. Although the use of container transport, but the container is not generally sealed, the sea encountered heavy rain or windy weather, container water is a very common thing. Aluminum seal lax, once the water, oxidation and corrosion is difficult to avoid. Therefore, in order to the safety of aluminum, aluminum manufacturers must not mean, use more sealing materials, the hot/cold rolled aluminium sheet to protect it carefully.
3, aluminum short-distance transport in the country, do not need to be fixed on the aluminum plate, and the sea cycle is long, suffered storms, the bumpy ship so collide with each other in the container, without additional reinforcement, then collide with each other will not only seriously damage the aluminum The packaging, but also to the anodised aluminium sheet itself suffered serious losses, aluminum manufacturers should pay attention.
