Absortech Groups Absorpole shipping desiccant

Click2Contact

The Absorpole from Absortech Groups is a carbon-neutral shipping desiccant.

A 60% reduction in the product’s carbon footprint has been achieved through the use of recycled plastics and the removal of dyes to ease the recycling process and reduce production processes. Unavoidable carbon emissions are offset via gold standard projects of sustainable development. The carbon-neutral status of the desiccant has been achieved with no change to its performance and installation.

The dessicant uses calcium chloride to absorb moisture from air, up to 150% of its weight (1.8 L). Calcium chloride at the top of the unit absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. The calcium chloride gradually dissolves into brine and is captured into a collector. Once captured, the moisture will not re-evaporate into the air.

Fully extended, the unit measures 1180 x 116 x 35 mm and weighs 1.5 kg. It is designed to occupy minimal container space sitting within the corrugated recesses of container walls, attached to the container’s lashing rings. It is particularly suitable for tightly packed containers that allow at least 5 cm space between cargo and desiccant unit. Rigid casing protects the unit from rupturing.

The unit is suitable for use alongside the transport of agricultural products, textiles and leather products, wood and paper, electronics and machinery.
