Leak-proof trays serve what purpose? How to choose the right leak-proof tray?
SYSBEL 2023-12-28
Leak-proof trays, also known as spill containment trays, spill trays, leak containment trays, etc., are designed and developed to prevent and control leaks from oil drums, chemical drums, and other containers used in large quantities in factories, warehouses, logistics, and transportation. These trays are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) materials through the injection molding process to prevent the leakage of hazardous liquids.

Leak-proof trays are designed to store and handle hazardous liquids, preventing secondary leaks of chemicals or other hazardous liquids during packaging, storage, and transportation processes. They are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals to enhance the safety of liquid storage and protect the environment from contamination.

Many chemical plants, waste disposal facilities, and laboratories store oil drums, chemical drums, or other chemical containers, and leaks or splashes may occur during storage, use, and transportation processes.

Leakage can result in the release of toxic, flammable, explosive, corrosive, and other hazardous chemicals, causing water and soil pollution. In storage, transfer, use, and disposal processes, secondary containers must be used to prevent pollution and accidents. Spill containment trays are widely adopted and used as secondary containment containers.


How to choose the right leak-proof tray?
Select the appropriate leak-proof tray based on the nature and quantity of the stored substances, ensuring that the tray's dimensions, materials, and load-bearing capacity meet your requirements. Spill containment trays can be categorized into spill trays and spill platforms based on their applications. Spill trays have a larger capacity for holding leaks, suitable for storing large-volume containers and can be moved with a forklift. Spill platforms, with a smaller capacity, are suitable for decanting or storing small-volume containers. Based on material, they can be steel or polyethylene. Steel trays are suitable for oil and non-corrosive chemicals, while plastic trays are suitable for flammable and corrosive chemicals.

What is the difference between a leak platform and a leak tray?
The height of a spill platform is lower than that of a tray, saving space and improving safety and efficiency. Spill platforms are mainly used for storing oil drums, chemical drums, etc., and are not used for transporting these containers. In a workshop, it acts as a platform for various operations such as extracting oil, filling, and decanting. Spill platforms can be joined together to form a stable and reliable spill workstation.

Leak-proof trays have forklift slots for storing, transporting, and transferring oil drums and chemical drums. All leaks will flow into the containment groove, preventing them from reaching the ground. Leak-proof trays have their own matching slopes, making it easy, quick, and simple to handle chemical storage drums. The containment capacity of leak-proof trays complies with relevant regulations in EPA 40 CFR264.175.


Can leak-proof trays be stacked?
Choose leak-proof trays with stacking functionality. These trays typically have special designs, such as raised edges or embedded cover plates, allowing them to stack stably. Understand the maximum load capacity of leak-proof trays and ensure that stacking does not exceed their load limits.
Excessive stacking may lead to tray deformation, damage, or instability, increasing the risk of liquid leaks. When stacking leak-proof trays, ensure stability and balance between each layer to avoid tilting or unstable stacking and prevent accidents.

Forklift and Pallet Jack Usage Issues
The Sisbell SPP401 and SPP103 cannot be used with a forklift. All other products can be transferred using a forklift, but it is essential to note that the tooth size of certain pallet jack models may not be suitable. Confirm compatibility before purchasing.

How to join modular platforms?
Modular platforms can be extended in both vertical and horizontal directions. Configure different quantities based on the specific size of the room.


What is the purpose of the small holes on leak-proof trays?
The small holes serve a drainage function. During transportation, if liquid leaks or spills on the tray, the small holes facilitate drainage, preventing the accumulation of excess liquid that could lead to tray imbalance or overload.


The small holes make it convenient for cleaning and draining, crucial for removing liquid residues and ensuring the regular maintenance of the tray, ensuring its long-term use and hygiene.


Guidelines for using leak-proof trays

Proper placement of goods: When placing goods on spill containment trays, ensure even distribution and avoid overloading to prevent deformation or rupture of the trays.

Check the condition of the tray: Before use, carefully inspect the appearance and internal structure of the spill containment tray for any damage or cracks. If any damage is found, replace the tray immediately to prevent accidents.

Avoid exceeding the load limit of the spill containment tray: Each spill containment tray has a weight limit, and overloading can result in tray deformation, rupture, or liquid leakage.

Proper use of drainage holes on spill containment trays: Spill containment trays are typically equipped with drainage holes for liquid discharge or cleaning, preventing blockages or incorrect discharge of liquids.

Prevent tilting of spill containment trays: When handling or storing goods, ensure that spill containment trays are placed stably to avoid tilting or an unstable state, reducing the risk of accidents.

Proper stacking of spill containment trays: Ensure stable stacking and follow stacking height limits.

Regular cleaning and maintenance: Clean spill containment trays regularly and check for any damage or contaminants.

Proper disposal of discarded trays: Dispose of discarded spill containment trays according to relevant regulations.

Train employees: Provide necessary training and guidance to enable employees to use spill containment trays correctly, reducing the occurrence of accidents and losses.
