There are many benefits of using heat treated pallets over traditional chemically treated pallets, including:
Heat treated pallets reduce risk of pest infestation and contamination
Heat-treated pallets are treated using a heat chamber, which heats the wood to a temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes. This process eliminates the presence of pests, fungi, and bacteria that can be found in traditional chemically treated pallets. Heat treatment is also an environmentally friendly and non-toxic process that doesn’t leave any chemical residues on the pallets or the products they transport.
Heat treated pallets comply with international regulations for timber packaging
Heat-treated pallets are compliant with the ISPM 15, which is an international regulation that aims to prevent the spread of pests and diseases through international trade. ISPM15 is the regulation that all Northern Irish timber must be manufactured using.ISPM 15 requires that all solid wood packaging material, including pallets and crates, be treated using approved methods, such as heat treatment or fumigation.
Heat treated pallets improve durability and strength for heavy loads
Heat-treated pallets are more durable and stronger than traditional chemically treated pallets, making them ideal for heavy loads and rough handling. The heat treatment process increases the pallets’ resistance to moisture, rot, and decay, which can weaken the wood and cause it to break or split. As a result, heat-treated pallets are less likely to fail during transportation, which can prevent damage to the products they carry and reduce the risk of workplace injuries.
Heat treats palettes are environmentally friendly and sustainable
Heat treatment is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of treating wood. It doesn’t require the use of chemicals, which can be harmful to the environment and human health, and it doesn’t produce any waste products. The process also uses renewable energy sources, such as wood waste and biomass, to power the heat chamber, which reduces carbon emissions and helps to conserve natural resources.
