A blade for a large turbine has been shrinkwrapped for shipping using material from Dr. Shrink.
Shrink wrap protects anything, says Dr. Shrink, a manufacturer of shrink wrapping in Manistree, Mich. It protects equipment against weather damage because the waterproofing can be sealed around an entire unit. The wrapping comes in 12 to 40-ft widths so even large items are covered in one piece. This includes entire flatbed loads of machinery or items 60-ft long boats. The material is easily applied in logical steps. A training video explains the process.
What’s more, there will be no surface damage from the wrapping. Shirnkwrap will not chafe or damage covered products. When properly applied, the material will not move or chaffe as heavy dirty tarps do when cargo is being transported or stored. The material covers can also be ventilated to eliminate moisture and mildew problems. The company offers Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors that keep moisture from forming on metal or electrical circuits. Furthermore, the company has zipper access doors for entry into the covers without cutting or removing the material.
The shrinkwrapped nacelle has been wrapped in material from a 40-ft wide roll.
