Project Background
In a grain export company based in Brazil, the owner needed a reliable and secure sealing solution for bulk agricultural shipments.
The seals were required to protect high-value grain containers during transit, ensure compliance with international export regulations, and provide traceability for all shipments.
Program Requirements
- Seals must withstand rough handling during transportation and remain intact under harsh environmental conditions.
- To ensure container security from origin to destination.
- Provide laser-engraved serial numbers for easy tracking and regulatory compliance.
- Compatible with various container types used in bulk grain export.
Solution
While exploring options, the owner discovered Protegoseal’s Metal Seal MS-500. The MS-500 combines advanced security features with robust construction, making it the ideal choice for securing grain containers.
Exceptional Durability
The MS-500 is made of high-strength galvanized steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and extreme weather conditions such as rain and humidity. Its breaking strength of 264 pounds (1200N) ensures that it can endure the stresses of long-haul transportation without failure.
Advanced Tamperproof Features
The seal’s double-ring locking mechanism prevents unauthorized access and ensures a visible indication of tampering. This feature was especially valuable to the owner, as it provided confidence in the security of goods during transit.
Customizable and Professional Design
Protegoseal offered customization options such as laser-engraved company logos, unique serial numbers, and colour coding. These features enhanced the company’s brand image while simplifying container identification during inspections and customs checks.
Compliance with Export Standards
The MS-500 seals complied with international standards for container security, ensuring the grain shipments passed customs inspections smoothly. The engraved serial numbers also made documentation and traceability seamless, reducing administrative errors.
Ease of Use and Cost Savings
The MS-500’s intuitive design made it quick to install and remove using basic tools, saving time for the logistics team. Bulk purchasing options allowed the company to secure competitive pricing while maintaining quality, resulting in significant cost savings over time.
Project Summary
Since adopting the Protegoseal Metal Seal MS-500, the grain export company has greatly improved its shipment security and streamlined its operations.
