VCI Pallet Cover

A full pallet of metal parts protected in one operation

The problem it prevents

Wrapping parts one by one is slow. Oiling them means degreasing them later.

Count the minutes per pallet spent wrapping parts individually or applying oil, then multiply by pallets per day. That labour number alone usually justifies the change.

The corrosion protection comes free on top of it.

What it is

A pallet cover made in VCI film, so a full pallet of metal parts is protected against corrosion in one operation instead of wrapping every part separately. The corrosion-inhibiting vapour fills the space under the cover and settles on every metal surface inside.

This is the fastest way to protect a mixed pallet of machined parts, castings, fasteners or components in storage or transit, with no oil to apply and nothing to clean off afterwards.

Key features

  • Protects a full pallet of metal parts in one operation
  • No oil or grease to apply and nothing to clean off later
  • Reaches surfaces the film never touches, including internal bores
  • Available as hoods, sheets and covers
  • Formulated for ferrous or non-ferrous metals
  • Can be combined with barrier film for long storage

Specification

Materials
VCI polyethylene film. VCI combined with barrier layers where long storage is needed.
Sizes
Made to your pallet size and stack height.
Applications
Machined components, castings, forgings, fasteners, automotive parts, spare parts, and metal stock in storage.
Where it is used
Automotive component makers, forging and casting units, fastener makers, machining job shops, and spare parts warehouses.

How we build it

The vapour has to be held under the cover to work, so the cover design and the VCI loading are worked out together against the pallet volume and the expected storage time.

Built to your specification

Every one of these can be changed for your application, and a sample is supplied for trial fitment before bulk production.
