Maintenance
Proper care and regular maintenance make your containers
last longer – we could be talking years here. The first
rule of container maintenance is to stop using a container
immediately if its walls are damaged so there is a risk of
liquid impregnating the insulation. If that happens, the container
must be placed at a dry place until the insulation is completely
dry. The weight of the containers is known so the process
of drying the insulation can be monitored by weighing the
container.
Easy to clean
It is very easy to clean the containers because
of the curved corners and the special qualities of the Polyethylene
walls make the surface completely flat.
Low rate of maintenance
According to our customers’ experience, the
rate of maintenance of our containers is low compared to
the products of our competitors. A Danish firm that rents
containers and has tried out most types of containers, has
stated that the rate of maintenance is 80/20 in favour of
Borgarplast (20%). A big user of containers in Iceland has
announced a rate of 70/30%.
Easy repair
The Borgarplast containers are specially designed
to withstand punches from forklifts. It is very important
to repair the containers immediately if they are damaged.
They can easily be repaired with plastic extrusion welding
equipment using superheated air (ca 250 °C) and Polyethylene
welding fibre (HDPE), but under no circumstances, an open
fire can be used (e.g. using gas heaters).
