180kgs Drum Packaging: Transporting Garlic in Brine Safely
Bulk preservation and transport of industrial garlic in brine require rigid packaging solutions to prevent structural failure, microbial contamination, and chemical degradation. Utilizing 180kgs high-density polyethylene (HDPE) food-grade drums ensures the preservation of garlic cloves (sizes 150-250, 250-350, 350-450 pcs/kg) during long-haul maritime transit. Managing packaging specifications, palletization mechanics, and thermal variables directly stabilizes the drained weight, citric acid concentration (0.3%-0.5%), and salt content (20%-22%) of the bulk commodity.
Drum Material Specifications: Food-Grade HDPE Engineering
Shandong Tianqi Food Co., Ltd. utilizes injection-molded, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums with a net capacity of 180kgs (gross weight approximately 266kgs including brine solution). HDPE provides superior chemical resistance to acetic acid and sodium chloride solutions, preventing container degradation.
Logistics Optimization: Palletizing and Container Loading Metrics
Maximizing space utilization while maintaining strict adherence to safety load limits is critical for maritime freight. Standard shipping procedures for 180kgs drums involve direct floor loading or heavy-duty palletization inside 20ft Full Container Loads (FCL).
SEnvironmental Controls: Temperature Mitigation in Transit
Fluctuations in ambient temperature during cross-border maritime shipping directly affect the physicochemical properties of garlic in brine. Exposure to high heat accelerates the breakdown of allicin, decreases firmness, and can cause pressure buildup within the 180kgs drum packaging due to solution expansion.
