Refrigerated containers are designed with certain thermal insulation properties. They emerged in the late 1960s, featuring a lightweight steel frame, with steel or lightweight metal sheets attached on both sides, filled with insulating material between them. These containers maintain a consistent low temperature and are specifically designed for the special transport of various food items. Common insulating materials include glass wool, polystyrene, foamed polyurethane, etc. Let's take a look at the applications and characteristics of refrigerated containers!

Key Features of Refrigerated Containers

1. Refrigerated containers offer high volume utilization, flexible operation scheduling, and superior cost-effectiveness.

2. Refrigerated containers can be suspended in whole during use, offering high loading and unloading efficiency and relatively lower transportation costs. The new refrigerated containers feature a more rational and advanced structure and technical performance, with wide applicability.

3. Under certain conditions, refrigerated containers can be used as mobile cold storage, adjusting market supply and bringing marketers excellent economic benefits.

The refrigerated container facilitates intermodal transportation across various vehicles, eliminating the need for cargo exchange during transit and ensuring continuous maintenance of the required low temperature.

5. In response to "cold chain" transportation between domestic and international markets, we have achieved direct "country-to-country" delivery from origin to distributor. To ensure freshness of all types of food products, we provide superior storage and transportation conditions.

Freight suitable for loading into refrigerated containers

1. Frozen products such as fish, meat, and egg purees;

2. Low-temperature products such as meat, citrus, melons, and cheese.

3. Film, certain medications, and other goods requiring specific temperature maintenance.

General Requirements for Refrigerated Containers:

After loading the goods into the refrigerated container, inspect the original quality of the refrigerated or frozen products according to the delivery slip instructions.

During the loading process, adhere strictly to the yard stacking principles to prevent cold wind from causing short-circuiting, thereby reducing the temperature drop and lowering the refrigeration efficiency of the cooling equipment.

When transporting frozen goods over long distances, the temperature difference between the set temperature inside the container and the actual temperature must not exceed 3 degrees. During transportation, the temperature error must be below 0.5 degrees.

4. When transporting fresh fruits and vegetables in refrigerated containers, it is necessary to immediately open the ventilation ports for air circulation. However, when transporting frozen goods, the ventilation ports should be closed.

5. When transporting goods in cardboard boxes, maintain dry air inside the box. Adjust ventilation based on the external temperature and humidity to prevent condensation on the outside surface of the packaging box.

High capacity utilization in refrigerated containers with excellent cost-effectiveness. In terms of the refrigeration system, it offers flexible operation scheduling, allows for whole-container hoisting during use, ensuring high loading and unloading efficiency. It is predominantly equipped with air-cooled condensing units and employs direct air supply, allowing for a wide temperature control range within the container. The transportation costs are relatively lower. The refrigeration container is akin to a single compartment of a mini-fridge or a modular refrigerator, typically maintaining temperatures between 18~12.

Due to the higher cost of refrigerated containers, their use is ideal for transporting goods requiring specific temperatures. Additionally, although refrigerated features exceed those of standard containers, it is important to understand the characteristics, applications, and precautions of refrigerated containers during daily cold chain usage and transportation. However, their impact on lifespan is minimal, making them excellent for transportation and packaging materials.
