Export Guide for Industrial Sandwich Panel
Step 1: Confirm project‑oriented technical parameters 🔍 Before ordering industrial sandwich panel, collect local climate condition, fire‑safety regulation, container dimension and construction habit. Confirm core material, thickness, effective width, custom length, surface coating grade and accessory list. Pay special attention to salt‑spray resistance for coastal regions. SAMZOON offers professional parameter checking service for overseas industrial sandwich panel projects.
Step 2: Pre‑production & in‑production inspection ✅ After drawing confirmation, verify raw material quality of industrial sandwich panel. Check core‑material density, steel sheet thickness, coating batch report and fire‑test certificate. Reject uneven foaming, poor bonding and surface scratch. Confirm cutting tolerance for each industrial sandwich panel to fit container size.
Step 3: End‑face sealing and surface protection 🛡️ For industrial sandwich panel for sea shipment, seal all cut ends tightly to block moisture intrusion. Cover full surface with PE protective film. Avoid exposing metal substrate. Damaged end‑sealing is the main cause of core‑material damp and rust during long‑distance ocean transit.
Step 4: Pallet packing for export 📦 Select qualified pallets for industrial sandwich panel export. Use IPPC fumigated wooden pallets for most destinations; composite non‑fumigation pallets are available for partial Southeast‑Asian markets. Place anti‑pressure cushion between layers. Control stacking height to prevent bottom industrial sandwich panel from permanent compression deformation. Wrap whole stack tightly with waterproof stretch film all around.
Step 5: Container loading standard 🚢 Match custom length of industrial sandwich panel with 20GP or 40HQ inner dimension. Place soft separators between every stacks of industrial sandwich panel. Fix cargo firmly with tension belts to prevent shifting, collision and scratching under ocean vibration. Leave tiny gap for air circulation, do not seal container completely without ventilation.
Step 6: Sea‑transport risk prevention ⚠️ High humidity and condensation inside container are huge threats for industrial sandwich panel. Place sufficient desiccant inside container. Avoid loading industrial sandwich panel on rainy or humid days. Keep container floor dry before stacking goods.
Step 7: Arrival & unloading operation 📥 When industrial sandwich panel arrives at destination port, inspect outer package before unpacking. Do not tear protective film immediately. Use proper lifting tools, avoid dragging or bending industrial sandwich panel. Store panels in dry covered warehouse, keep away from ground moisture.
Step 8: On‑site acceptance before installation 🧾 Check industrial sandwich panel appearance, dimension, coating integrity and end‑face condition. Reject rusted, deformed, delaminated panels. Verify keels, sealants and fasteners match the specification of industrial sandwich panel. SAMZOON provides remote construction guidance for overseas customers.
Step 9: Storage reminder before installation 📌 Do not expose unpacked industrial sandwich panel under open‑air rain or strong sunlight. Keep stacking flat. Finish installation as soon as possible after unpacking to extend service life of industrial sandwich panel.
Critical pitfalls to avoid: ‑ Ignore local fire‑safety standard, lead to project rejection ‑ Poor end‑face sealing, cause core‑material water‑absorbing ‑ Over‑stacking, result in permanent panel deformation ‑ Wrong coating grade, quick fading under tropical UV radiation
