In early November, Pikalevo Cement successfully completed the first shipment with a cement capacity over 2 million t using MK-14-10 soft containers.
"Due to the increasing demand for cement Torque commissioning containers MK-14-10 is of great importance for the future work of the enterprise,” says General Director of Pikalevo cement, Vladimir Y. Sokol'tsev. “Now we can create the most comfortable conditions for consumers: to reduce the time of loading, the loss will be minimised in the process of loading and unloading."
Each container has a load capacity of 14 t, with the cement being placed in a gridded-framework with lifting loops and a reinforced bottom.
The advantages of using MK-14-10 containers include an increase in the rate of loading and unloading, minimizing the losses during loading and unloading, the absence of costs for packaging, the possibility of storing the loaded containers in open air and the prevention of contact with the outside load that allows them to be stored in the same state throughout delivery.
The containers can be moved using any form of transport and improve efficiency.
