Features of Copper Concentrate Containers
Copper concentrate containers are designed with specific features that make them suitable for the transport and storage of high grade copper concentrate. Some of the most important features include:
Durability: Copper concentrate containers are made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum to ensure that they can withstand the demands of transport and storage.
Temperature control: Copper concentrate is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, which can affect its quality. Therefore, many copper concentrate containers are equipped with temperature control features to ensure that the copper content is stored at the right temperature.
Ventilation: Copper concentrate containers are also equipped with ventilation systems to ensure that the concentrate is stored in a well-ventilated area, which is essential for preventing moisture buildup and corrosion in long term.
The shipping container is also the first Open Top half height container in the global market to be certified to BK2 requirements and ADG7. The container also includes our special anti- abrasion coating.
