Gas-Hermetic Fumigation™
Ultra Hermetic™ Shipping Container Liner with Fumigation Features
Thousands of shipping containers travel across oceans each day to deliver
agricultural commodities. Temperature fluctuations and changes in climate
play a crucial role in the condition of the commodities being shipped. Poor
fumigation practices at origin, especially for commodities with high-levels of
infestation, leads to additional expense, trade dispute or rejection.
The development of condensation inside shipping containers during shipment
is a huge problem for commodity traders. Condensation happens because of
poor air movement and temperature fluctuation inside the shipping container.
When condensed water is present, it can result in mold growth, insect
infestation and damaged commodities.
It is common to require the fumigation of shipping containers before leaving
port. To do this, the rented container has to remain idle for several days to be
fumigated. This is very costly and the exposure time is short because shipping
containers are not gastight, thus only adult insects are affected. Eggs survive
and hatch when the humidity and temperature in the container become
favorable during transport.
An organic solution that continuously and safely stops infestation, while
minimizing condensation during transit is needed to minimize costs associated
with fumigation and to prevent the commodities from getting rejected at the
destination.
Most of the time, using patented and Ultra Hermetic™ standard TranSafeLiner™
(TSL™) is sufficient to protect the commodity against insect damage, moisture
and humidity. For better protection, the patented GrainPro TranSafeLiner Gas
Hermetic Fumigation™ (TSL G-HF™) is the recommended solution because it
effectively addresses infestation and the build-up of condensation during
transit in shipping containers.
ABOUT GRAINPRO: Founded in 1992, GrainPro, Inc. is a “green, not-only-for-profit” company that aims to raise the quality of life by reducing
food losses and improving public health through sustainable post-harvest systems. GrainPro develops solutions for the storage, drying and
transport of prime agricultural commodities desperately needed to minimize and/or eradicate post-harvest losses. Our innovations in Ultra
Hermetic™ technology and modified atmospheres now used in over 100 countries worldwide are renowned for their effectiveness as a
complete post-harvest management solution.
GrainPro TranSafeliner Gas-Hermetic Fumigation™ (TSL G-HF™)
Made from multi-layered film, the TSL G-HF is a specially designed Ultra Hermetic™ liner with superior gas and moisture barrier
properties. It effectively isolates the commodity from ambient air with its varying moisture content to protect it against the
permeation of air and moisture, thereby, minimizing condensation.
Furthermore, the TSL G-HF is designed for CO2 fumigation before departure. Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be flushed through an
expansion pipe with an integrated, end-to-end air duct at the top of the liner to allow oxygen to escape. This type of fumigation
is safe and environment-friendly due to the inert characteristics of CO2 and the gas tightness of the liner inside the container. The
TSL G-HF stops mold development and insect infestation, eliminating insects of all life stages while in transit; without residues
of harmful chemicals that lead to rejection at the destination port.
The amount of CO2 to be used for a 20’ container varies from 25 to 30 kg depending on the density of the commodity.
