Submerged Arc Welding Technical Handbook - Esab

Always the most productive
delivery packaging
ESAB delivers fluxes in 25 kg paper
bags, some types in 20 kg paper bags.
Each bag has a polyethylene inlay to prevent
moisture pick-up from the surrounding
atmosphere. Secondary protection against
moisture pick up is given by wrap foiling
or shrink foiling each complete flux palette.
The packing material is fully recyclable
and therefore environmentally friendly. The
majority of the packing material is recycled
as paper.
The main ESAB flux types are also
available in BigBags. Standard weight for
BigBags is 1000 kg of welding flux. BigBags
have a well defined discharge spout which
can be closed during the flux flow.
Although it takes only about 25 seconds
to empty a complete BigBag, customers
can chose to remove only a few kgs at a
time. Therefore, BigBags are not only for
large volume users. The complete BigBag
is made from woven polypropylene material
which has an internal coating for moisture
protection to keep the flux dry. The material
is fully recyclable. Again, each palette of flux
is additionally protected against moisture by
wrap foil or shrink foil
For a more robust package ESAB can
supply fluxes in steel buckets containing 20
to 30 kg. Buckets are moisture tight and
re-sealable, allowing the re-drying of the flux
to be avoided. They are usually for outdoor
welding or when re-drying facilities are not
available.
ESAB specifies not only its products, but
also packaging and packing materials, for all
production units, globally. Hence we ensure
that our customers such as international
welding companies will always get the same
product in the same packaging, no matter
which continent their manufacturing is located.
