Follow on Google News | All Wrapped Up - Corrosion Prevention of Stay Behind Equipment for Unit DeploymentThe MA-ARNG chief maintenance officer contacted Protective Packaging Corporation, a flexible packaging converter that specializes in corrosion protection and has more than 25 years of experience working with the U.S. military.
By: Anita Pinkerton The MA-ARNG chief maintenance officer contacted Protective Packaging Corporation, a flexible packaging converter that specializes in corrosion protection (link this to http://www.protectivepackaging.net) Protective Packaging’s corrosion-prevention specialists assessed the situation and developed a custom solution to meet the MA-ARNG’s needs. The solution consisted of a moisture barrier material, a reinforced heavy-duty outer cover, desiccant, and volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) (link to http://www.protectivepackaging.net/ The team from Protective Packaging individually sealed each truck and trailer in multilayer-material moisture barrier bags (link this to http://www.protectivepackaging.net/ As a final preventative measure, a heavy-duty, reinforced, custom-made tarp was placed over the barrier bag to give added protection against snow and winds of up to 80 mph. These were secured with rope through grommets that were added to each tarp’s edges. The fleet was stored for two years awaiting the return of the deployed MA-ARNG members. When the maintenance team removed the protective packaging, installed the batteries, and started each vehicle, they found that the trucks suffered no corrosive damage and were easily driven out of the storage yard with no issues. Prevention of this sort is often forgotten until the last minute or completely neglected. In this case, the chief maintenance officer’s attention and the Protective Packaging team’s comprehensive solution saved the MA-ARNG thousands — if not hundreds of thousands of dollars — in repair costs. The maintenance officer noted, “I spend more money unfreezing a lug nut on these trucks than what we did protecting one.” This just goes to show an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. http://www.protectivepackaging.net? # # # We are one of the leading manufacturers of custom-made protective packaging, and we readily accept custom jobs from a few hundred items to thousands of items.
