The UN marking on a Kiuso is only valid if the following closing instruction is applied. Kiuso has a unique closing concept: press down the lid to close, tear off the sealing strip and turn to open. After the sealing strips have been removed, the container can be re-closed by screwing on the lid.

5. The container is properly closed when the tamper evident tear- off strip touches the container rim. Note: Kiuso is also suitable for full automatic closure. CurTec can advise on the purchase of both semi and full automatic closure solutions. Contact us for more information.

The packaging can be opened according to instruction 2. Use the rim and the bottom to tilt the container and pour the contents. Freezing Kiuso is made of plastic which is resistant to a minimum temperature of -18°C. As of -5°C, shock load on the containers should be avoided.

Since CurTec has no influence on the use of its packaging by end users, they advise to test each transport mode. It remains the responsibility of end users to verify whether a package and content comply with relevant transport regulations.

Attention! The weights mentioned in the table have been established after simulation and can only serve as indications. CurTec recommends users to perform tests at all times. The table allows you to calculate the number of containers that can be stacked: Reduce the stacking weight mentioned with the relevant share of the total weight of intermediate layers and divide by the weight of the container with content.

Example How many 20 liter Kiuso's (art. no. 4620) with a content weighing 20 kg can be stacked on a pallet at 15°C during 6 months? A layer contains 8 containers and the total weight of intermediate layers is 16 kg.

Example How many 20 liter Kiuso's (art.no. 4620) with a content weighing 20 kg can be transported by road at 30°C during 3 weeks? A layer contains 8 containers and the total weight of intermediate layers is 16 kg. The relevant share of the total weight of intermediate layers is 16/8 = 2kg, so (173-2/2)/20 = 4.275.

A pallet should have an almost closed surface fitted with planks that are no more than 5 cm/ 2 inches apart. CurTec advises not to exceed a total stacking height of 2 meters. In case a pallet is placed on top of another pallet, an intermediate layer is required to enable an equal spread of the pressure.
