Barnes Optional Shrink Wrap for Shipments



















To insure the equipment is properly protected during transit, Barnes assemblers have the ability to shrink wrap machines for shipment.  The filter systems are completely encased with a copper base lined shrink wrap moisture barrier and shipped with a special desiccant to remove any residual moisture that may cause damage or corrosion.  This process which is designed to withstand 65 MPH wind is the same procedure used on military aircrafts.

Besides preventing damage during highway travel, this process protects the equipment while held in staging areas where wind, rain or even sandstorms can cause serious damage.

This extra effort insures that systems will be received at the users plant anywhere in the world in the same condition as when they left our factory.
