Storage
Inspection
Each belt roll is thoroughly inspected before shipment, even after thorough in-process and quality checks during the manufacturing process. Inspection includes dimensional stability, roll heights, and the absence of telescoping.
Packing
Belt rolls, after inspection and QC release, are packaged properly to withstand the rigors of long shipment with multiple transfers of loading and unloading on trucks, containers, and ocean going ships, etc. Each roll is properly marked inside and outside the packaging for easy identification and traceability.
Ozone
As ozone can be particularly damaging to vulcanized rubber (PVG), storage rooms should not contain any equipment capable of generating ozone such as high voltage electrical equipment, electric motors or other equipment which may give rise to electric sparks or electrical discharges. Combustion gases and organic vapors should be excluded as they may give rise to ozone via photochemical reactions.
Packaging
Belting requiring long term storage should be bound with steel or high tenacity plastic or textile straps and protected with waterproof plastic material. A supporting center core of suitable dimensions manufactured from wood or steel should be specified at the time of order. Keep the belt packing on as a protection from oils, solvents, corrosive liquids, ozone, sunlight, and other adverse weather effects.
Storage
Proper care is taken to ensure that before actual shipment the packaged belt rolls are properly protected from the weather and other environmental factors. Storage locations are at a convenient height for easier handling but clear of any water, dirt, or other contamination.
Transportation
Belt rolls typically face long shipping distances by road, by sea and again by road or rail until they reach their final destinations. In between there can be additional loading and unloading at warehouses before the rolls reach customer locations. We pay special attention to the selection of quality transporters and shippers for damage free fast transit.
