VTI's DRIGUARD®

In storage and shipping of large machinery and precision equipment sensitive to dust, moisture, and other environmental damage, preventing corrosion can make a critical difference in avoiding product failure. Protective metal containers or spray-on coating can be costly and difficult to apply. DRIGUARD® Environmental Containers offer a versatile, economical alternative. VTI custom designs these low-cost, light-weight, low-cube containers for a variety of uses.

Made to customer specifications from plastic barrier materials, DRIGUARD® containers offer low water vapor transmission rates and allow relative humidity to be easily designated, monitored, and maintained. This is accomplished by the use of bagged desiccant (such as silica gel), nitrogen flush or dynamic dehumidification. Desiccant is recommended for shipping and storage for up to six months. For indefinite storage, a mechanical (or dynamic) dehumidifier is recommended with desiccant as a failsafe factor. A dynamic installation is easy to set up and allows accurate dryness levels to be monitored at low cost.

From whole missiles to electronic components, machine tools to aircraft and rocket engines, to spare parts and supplies; DRIGUARD® flexible containers preserve products individually or, with through-container bolts, can be joined to standard pallets and specialized mounts.
