Superdry absorbs 200% its own weight inmoisture to maintain a low humidity in shipping containers andprevent condensation damage to cargo. Its ingredients are foodgrade material.During the day and night cycles of a container’s voyage, airsurrounding the cargo heats up and cools down. During the night,the humidity rises and moisture can condense on the ceiling of thecontainer, where it drips onto and damages the cargo. By hanging8-12kg of Superdry desiccant inside a 40ft container, humidity iskept below the level at which condensation forms for the durationof the journey. This protects the cargo and ensures it arrives ingood condition.Superdry is available in a variety of sizes and with variousmounting options. Hooks or rope ties and a rigid cardboard outercasing make it easy to position inside a container. As Superdryturns the moisture to gel it contains no spillable liquid and doesnot need plastic drip trays to hold the moisture. This meansSuperdry stays leak-free even with rough handling.Superdry absorbs 200% its own weight in moisture, comparedto high grade silica or clay based desiccants that only absorb up to25%. This means a lesser quantity is needed to maintain a lowhumidity, which makes packing more straightforward andhandling the desiccant much easier.For a free sample or further information, visit them at Hall 20 Stand J333, call 01903 858658, visit www.jsdesiccants.comor email sales@jsdesiccants.com.38-47:Layout 1 24/2/12 12:32 Page 7FOODEXwww.fdiforum.net45WITTWITT has improved its es-tablished Oxybaby 6.0 hand-held gas analyser with theaddition of a Bluetooth in-terface and a built-in bar-code reader.
