Iipallet zeenkuni ziye zakuba yindlela apho impahla ishukunyiswa kumthengisi ukuya kumthengi kwaye emva komthengi. I-pallet yokhuni ihlala kwindawo yokugcina impahla kunye nevenkile kwihlabathi. E-US kukho izigidi zeepllets ezisetyenziselwa imihla ngemihla kwaye uninzi lwazo lwenziwe ngemithi. Ukuze umenzi wepaliti yeenkuni, kukho izikhokelo zokuzithandela eziye zaphuhliswa yiNational Wooden Pallet neContainer Association (NWPCA) ukuqinisekisa ukuba zonke iipalthi ezisetyenziselwa ukuthunyelwa nokugcinwa kwezixhobo zikhuselekile kunokwenzeka.
I-Standard for Wood Pallets
I-National Wooden Pallet ne-Container Association iye yavelisa umgangatho ofanayo wepallet yeenkuni echaza ngokucacileyo ukuba kufuneka kuvelwe njani ipenethi yenkuni, ukusebenza okufunekayo kwipallet kunye nendlela i-pallet yomthi ifanele ibe yongcoliseko. Lo mgangatho wamukelwa yi-NWPCA ngo-Meyi ka-2012 kwaye unike nabani na ababandakanyeka ngamapallets ulwazi olufunekayo ukujongana nayiphi na imeko ebandakanya iipellets.
Ukwenziwa kweePallets
Izikhokelo ze-NWPCA zijolise ekunikeni imfuno esemgangathweni yemigangatho yamaplanga. Icandelo lezikhokelo ezibhekiselele ekuveliseni iipellets ziquka iinkcazo kwizinto, iinkcazo, kunye nenkcazo yokuzibophelela, ukunyamezela okuqhelekileyo, amanqanaba omncumo kunye nolwazi ekulungiseni kunye nokulungiswa kwamaphulo. Kukho iindidi ezimbini zeepllets; i-pallet ye-stringer, esebenzisa isakhelo sezinto ezintathu okanye ngaphezulu eziphambili zeemithi, kunye ne-block pallet, esebenzisa zombini ngokufanayo kunye neengcingo ezithe tye zokuphatha ngokufanelekileyo.
I- pallet ingenziwa yinkalo yamacandelo ahlukeneyo; iplanga, ipllywood okanye i-OSB (i-strand board board), ama-composites-based based components, kunye neenxalenye zeenkuni ezibunjiweyo. Amacandelo kufuneka asetyenziswe ngokuzibophezela ezifana nezipikili eziqhutywe kunye neziqwenga, izitshixo zokuthutha izitye, izikhonkwane zeenkuni kunye nezixhobo zokuguqa. Kufuneka kubekho inani elincinci lokuzibandakanya kwi-intanethi nganye, ngokusekelwe kububanzi beli candelo elibandakanyekayo, kwaye ukufakwa kwalabo baxhasi bahlanganiswe kwiinkcukacha.
Ukulungiswa kwee-pallet kubalulekile njengoko kunciphisa inani leepllets ezithunyelwa kwiifomflethi kunye nenzuzo kwiinkampani ezisebenzisa iipllets njengoko zinciphisa indleko zokuthenga okanye ukuvelisa iipllets ezintsha. Le nkcazo inikeza ulwazi olunzulu malunga nendlela yokulungisa i-pallet enikezelwe nayiphi na imiba yezinto, ezifana neenkuni ezingekhoyo, ukwahlukana, delamination, okanye iibhloko eziphosakeleyo.
Ukusebenza kwePallets
I-pallet ngayinye kufuneka ikwazi ukwenza umsebenzi okwakhiwe ukuba kwenziwe, kwaye ngoko ke i-NWPCA icacisa iinkcukacha malunga nenkqubela ye-pallet, enikwe iimeko ezininzi. Ukuvavanywa kwamapellets kuchazwa yindlela yovavanyo lwe-ISO; I-ISO 8611-1: 2011 ichaza iindlela zokuvavanya ezikhoyo ukuvavanya iipllets ezitsha zendawo zokuphatha izinto. Izindlela zokuvavanya ziyahlukana zibe ngamaqela okuvavanya umthwalo, ukuvavanywa kwemithwalo yokusebenza, kunye novavanyo lokuqhathanisa ukuhlala. Kukho iintlobo ezimbini ezihlukeneyo zokuvavanya umthwalo: ukuvavanya ubungqina kunye nokuvavanywa ukutshatyalaliswa. Uvavanyo oluqhelekileyo lwe-pallet luzama ukutshabalalisa, njengoko kunokwenzeka ukulinganisa i-pallet yokhuseleko lomthwalo xa into ephantsi kokuvavanya idlule umthwalo okhuselekileyo wokusebenza kuze kuphule umthwalo.
Ukucocwa kweePallets
Ukucaciswa kwe-NWPCA kuchaza ukucoceka kwe-phytol yamapallets.
I-NWPCA ibonisa ukuba zonke iipallet zifanele zihambelane neMigangatho yamaZwe ngamaZiko ePhytosanitary Publishing No. 15 (ISPM 15). Lo mgangatho wamukelwa yi-US kunye nenani elikhulayo lamazwe. I-ISPM 15 yaphuhliswa ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokusungula nokusabalalisa izilwanyana ezinqunyulwayo kunye nokuhamba kwintengiso yamazwe ngamazwe okupakishwa kwemithi eyenziwe ngamatye aluhlaza. Unyango lwemithi lubandakanya unyango lwezoshisa, olucacisa ukufudumala ukuya ku-56 C ubuncinane obude bemizuzu engama-30 eqhubekayo. Ezinye iindlela zonyango ziquka ukusetyenziswa kwe-methyl bromide, esetyenziselwa ukugubha inkuni ngexesha leeyure ezingama-24.
