ABSORTOP Filter ®

The Absortop is ideal for bulk loaded goods or when the goods are loaded high. It is recommended since it is installed just below the container ceiling. Thus it reliably ensures a dry atmosphere in the container when other types of desiccants would be blocked by the cargo.

The special design of the Absortop allows for the container to be tilted at 45 degrees angle with still trapping absorbed moisture in the water collector.

How the Absortop works

The Absorbag is activated once it is removed from its transparent protective PE bag. The Absortop will then immediately start to absorb moisture from the surrounding air. The upper portion of the Absortop contains the calcium chloride (1).

As the desiccant material absorbs moisture it will gradually dissolves into brine. This will be captured in the lower collector portion (2). Once captured, the moisture will not re-evaporate into the air.

Performance

The absorption characteristics of calcium chloride provide Absorpole with a superior absorption capacity, even at low humidity levels, and the ability to effectively protect cargo throughout the entire voyage.
