The mining industry is an essential sector in our economy. To determine what minerals are present and whether an area is worth mining, mining companies extract core samples through their diamond drilling programs. These samples are typically stored and organised in plastic core trays before they are brought to the lab for analysis. This article will dive into how core tray pallets can assist mining companies with the transportation and storage of their plastic core trays.
Plastic pallets are widely used in various industries. The core tray pallets specifically offer several features that make them ideal to mining industries for handling and transporting plastic core trays:
1. Design
The core tray pallets are designed to perfectly fit standard plastic core trays used by mining companies. Eco Pallets’ core tray pallet or the ECO-1211EN4 is the perfect size to store 3 rows of plastic core trays. In addition, plastic core trays can interlock with one another, this means that they can be stacked securely together and onto plastic pallets when not in use, reducing storage space in the process.
2. Resistance to Environmental Factors
The ECO-1211EN4 is resistant to environmental factors that can degrade other types of pallets, such as moisture, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure. These environmental factors are all common in mining operations, making the ECO-1211EN4 a suitable solution to store plastic core trays. Our core tray pallets can withstand heavy downpours and the harsh temperatures of the Australian outback. To add on, as our core tray pallets are impervious to moisture, there is no need to worry about termite infestation.
3. Reusability
Plastic pallets have an estimated working life of 10 years or more if properly cared for. That goes without saying that our core tray pallets can be reused plenty of times without seeing any significant degradation in its performance. Once the pallet is at the end of their life cycle, they can be repurposed into a new plastic pallet. Making them not only a cost-effective solution but also a sustainable one for mining companies in the long run.
To conclude, using core tray pallets to store and transport plastic core trays provides a practical storage solution that ensures operation efficiency along with the safety of the core samples. As the core tray pallet’s design suits plastic core trays, it is a no-brainer that our ECO-1211EN4 can be an ideal choice for mining companies to streamline their storage and transport operations.
