“…Pallets, as a base or load carriers for transport and storage, play an important role in ensuring the safety of goods and improving the e ciency of logistics activities (Naves et al, 2019;Gzara et al, 2020). With the rapid development of the logistics industry, traditional manual operations are gradually being replaced by automatic and mechanized ones.…”

The wooden pallet can easily suffer fractures during storage and transportation, shortening its service life. This study aimed to develop a nondestructive testing method based on the piezoelectric effect for damage detection of wooden pallets by a simulated drop test of the pallet. It was found that piezoelectric signal peak for wooden pallets decreases with increasing number of falls. Signal rebounded post-damage and the rebounding amplitude depended on the damage degree. Both temperature and moisture content have significant effects on the detection results of falling damage. The degree of falling damage of the wooden pallet can be detected through piezoelectric measurement, and the maximum life of the wooden pallet can be predicted using the handling activity of logistics. The structure of wooden pallets under normal temperature and air-dry conditions was relatively stable, whereas lowering the temperature or enhancing the moisture content could accelerate the damage to wooden pallets in use.

“…According to a survey conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about 70% of the goods imported and exported between countries use wood packaging materials (WPM) [ 10 ]. Because WPM do not reflect the value of goods in the trade process, inferior wood is primarily used as a raw material [ 11 ]. WPM that have not undergone effective pest control treatment often carry multiple pests that can appear on the surface (e.g.…”

Exotic pests have caused huge losses to agriculture, forestry, and human health. Analyzing information on all concerned pest species and their origin will help to improve the inspection procedures and will help to clarify the relative risks of imported cargo and formulate international trade policies. Records of intercepted pests from wood packaging materials (WPM) from 2003 to 2016 in the China Port Information Network (CPIN) database were analyzed. Results showed that the number of intercepted pests from WPM was lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth one. The total number of interceptions increased each year, with 53.33% of intercepted insects followed by nematodes (31.54%). The original continent of most intercepted pests was Asia (49.29%). Xylophagous insects were primarily intercepted from Southeast Asian countries, whereas nematodes were primarily intercepted from Korea, Australia, Mexico, and other countries. WPM interception records were mainly concentrated in China’s coastal inspection stations (98.7%), with the largest number of interceptions documented in Shanghai, followed by the inspection stations of Jiangsu Province. The proportion of pest taxa intercepted by the Chinese provinces’ stations each year is becoming increasingly balanced. The number of pest disposal treatment measures for intercepted cargoes with dead non-quarantine pests increased significantly from 2012 to 2016. This reflects the fact that Chinese customs inspection stations are becoming increasingly scientific and standardizing the interception and treatment of WPM pests. The issues reflected in the database, with a view to providing a reference for future work by customs officers and researchers.

A nivel mundial, además para reducir el uso de BM, que degrada la capa de ozono (MBTOC 2018), otros tratamientos químicos potencialmente más amigables ambientalmente, han estado igualmente siendo evaluados para esterilizar maderas (Arcos et al 2015, Douda et al 2015, Naves et al 2019.…”

La madera de pino radiata destinada a la fabricación de embalajes para exportación requiere ser esterilizada de acuerdo a las normas fitosanitarias internacionales NIMF 15. En el presente trabajo se estudió en secaderos industriales el tiempo de esterilización con vapor que es necesario emplear con madera aserrada verde de pino radiata apilada sin separadores y destinada a la fabricación de embalajes, considerando como factores variables la temperatura del vapor (80 ºC, 90 ºC y 100 °C), el espesor de las piezas de madera (16 mm, 38 mm y 53 mm) y la altura del subpaquete de madera (150 mm, 200 mm y 400 mm). Un experimento piloto fue realizado en un horno industrial de 40 m 3 . Posteriormente se escaló el experimento a hornos industriales de 100 m 3 . Los resultados mostraron que el tiempo necesario para la esterilización con vapor en el rango de temperaturas analizado, aumenta significativamente con el espesor de las tablas y con la altura del subpaquete. El tiempo mínimo para obtener las condiciones de esterilización con vapor en la madera apilada de pino radiata varió de 123 min hasta un máximo de 2275 min.Palabras clave: Embalajes de madera, Pinus radiata, protección de la madera, tratamiento fitosanitario, tratamiento térmico.
