Container House Drying Methods

Drying of container houses can be achieved through measures such as using desiccants, selecting moisture-proof coatings, properly handling and packaging goods, and strengthening moisture-proof treatment inside the container. Details are as follows:

Using Desiccants:

• Container Desiccant Sticks: These absorb moisture during transportation, keeping the outer box dry. The raw materials do not contain DMF and comply with EU export standards. They are packaged with one-way adsorption in the inner packaging to prevent back-permeation. When using, hang them vertically on the lashing hooks inside the container, with the hard box sleeve hole facing outward. After installation, load and unload the container as soon as possible to avoid damage to the desiccant. Unused desiccant sticks should be stored in their original packaging bags, sealed, and kept at normal room temperature in a dry place, away from sunlight.
• Container Desiccants: Check the container for any damage and close all ventilation holes. Remove the desiccant from its sealed plastic sleeve and hang it on the safety hooks on the inner walls of the container. Close the container door as soon as possible after loading. For containers with wooden floors having a humidity level exceeding 20%, add one desiccant for every 1% increase in humidity. For mats made of hemp or cotton, place an extra desiccant in each container. For furniture with a humidity level above 18%, add one desiccant for every 1% increase in humidity. For products made of materials with high moisture content, such as rattan, palm, and seaweed, it is recommended to add an additional desiccant in each container. If wooden pallets are used in the container and their humidity exceeds 18%, add one desiccant for every 1% increase in humidity.

Selecting Moisture-Proof Coatings:

• Apply moisture-proof treatment to the surface of the container house. Choose a moisture-proof coating that resists mold growth, effectively prevents moisture from entering the container body, and is corrosion-resistant and not prone to peeling, addressing the moisture problem at its source.

Goods Handling and Packaging:

• Check the moisture content of the goods before loading them into the container. If necessary, dry or air them to prevent the goods from releasing moisture themselves.
• Seal the goods with waterproof plastic bags, aluminum foil film, or vacuum packaging to isolate external moisture.
• Stack the goods neatly inside the container, avoiding gaps and excessive stacking heights to prevent movement and collision during transportation. Ensure stable stacking while considering ventilation and drainage to maintain air circulation and avoid water accumulation and moisture.

Moisture-Proof Treatment Inside the Container:

• Before loading, check if the container is dry and clean. If there are water stains or rust, wipe them thoroughly and ventilate to dry. Ensure that the door seals are intact and undamaged, and that there are no leaks in the door seams and ventilation holes to prevent the infiltration of external rainwater and moisture. At the same time, spray anti-mold agents inside the container.
