Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? 1 Attachment(s) I've been inspecting a storage food purchase I made, and a number of the Superpails are severely dented. One example is attached to this post. I believe this might have happened because of cold weather when these items were delivered back last winter. Is this extreme denting going to pose a problem to the long-term viability of this storage food? There don't appear to be cracks in the pails, just the denting. Any recommendations about how I might best mitigate this damage? Thanks!

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? I have several that almost that bad. As long as they hold you are fine. I wouldn't bang them around just a whole lot, especially if the plastic is cold. Those buckets are pretty tough.

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? BTW> The issue I think is that they are packed in a higher elevation with the oxy absorbers. When they get shipped to a lower elevation, such as here in Texas (100ft above sea level) The pressure differential is exaggerated.

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? Me too, I thought it was florida heat or something. I received them that way it didn't happen in captivity. edit: That's a good point TG I think you may be right, I hadn't given the altitude any thought, but as I write this I am 7 inches above sea level and the sheepshead are cleaning my bottom for me.

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? My pails were from beprepared.com Orem elevation is 4770 feet above sea level Vs.. 100 feet above sea level.

I don't remember where the two that i have that are really bad came from, i've ordered from several sources. They are both organic black beans.

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? All that is is a pressure differential. It means that your pails are very well sealed and have even less oxygen in them than normal. Store with confidence. Bx3

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? Yup, that is normal. Those pails are holding a vacuum....you are good to go. HUB

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? Thanks for all of your input. I feel a lot better about the integrity of my pails now!

Re: Severely dented Superpails -- problematic? Here's the solution: Move to a higher altitude.
