Corrosion Protection Protocol: Wax Spraying System
To ensure long-term integrity of the Rippa Excavator during maritime transport, industrial wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is strongly recommended for all export shipments.
Wax Spraying Specifications
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Coating Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic synthetic wax |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (minimum 25 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, track links, hydraulic rams, joints |
| Film Thickness | 50–75 µm (dry) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | ASTM B117 compliant (1,000+ hours) |
| Drying Time (Ambient) | 4–6 hours |
| Reversibility | Removable with industrial-grade degreaser |
| Validity During Transit | Up to 60 days (sealed environment) |
Note: Wax treatment must be applied immediately prior to loading and in climate-controlled conditions (15–25°C, <60% RH) to prevent premature degradation.
Method Recommendation by Use Case
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume export of operational units | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, minimal handling, lower damage risk |
| Budget-constrained projects, inland delivery | Bulk Cargo | Lower base cost; acceptable with full wax protection |
| Units with oversized attachments (e.g., ripper bars) | Flat Rack | Accommodates non-standard dimensions; full access for inspection |
Operational Guidelines
- Pre-shipment Preparation
- Drain hydraulic reservoirs to 80% capacity to prevent expansion.
- Secure all movable arms in transport position (pin locked).
-
Install moisture absorbers inside cab and control panels.
-
Onboard Stowage
- RO-RO: Position unit perpendicular to vessel roll axis to minimize lateral load.
- Flat Rack: Use timber dunnage to elevate unit and prevent direct metal-to-deck contact.
-
Bulk: Isolate from abrasive or high-moisture cargo (e.g., ore, timber).
-
Post-Discharge Protocol
- Conduct immediate visual inspection for coating integrity.
- Wash with fresh water; remove wax residue before commissioning.
- Verify track tension and hydraulic function prior to deployment.
Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost, protection, and efficiency in exporting the Rippa Excavator from China, RO-RO shipping with industrial wax spraying is the preferred solution for operational units. Bulk cargo may be viable for cost-sensitive operations, provided enhanced corrosion mitigation is implemented. Flat rack transport remains essential for non-standard configurations but demands rigorous environmental protection.
All methods require adherence to ISO 9001 and IACS maritime cargo standards, with wax application conforming to NACE SP0188 for temporary corrosion control.
