A thermal cover (or thermal sleeve) for refrigerated transport is a protective cover or blanket used to protect temperature-sensitive goods, such as food, medicines and chemicals, from temperature fluctuations during transport. These covers are usually made of insulating materials such as aluminium foil, air-filled cells, foam or fibres, which help maintain the desired temperature and minimise the impact of external factors such as sunlight, heat and cold.
Thermal covers are often used in combination with refrigerated containers or refrigerated trucks to ensure that products remain at the right temperature throughout the transport chain. They can also be used as additional insulation when using passive cooling systems, such as cooling elements or dry ice, especially if the transport takes place under varying conditions.
The use of thermal covers reduces the risk of spoilage and loss of quality of temperature-sensitive products and optimises the energy consumption of refrigeration units.
Many products require refrigerated shipping to ensure their quality, safety and shelf life. Below is an overview of products that require temperature-controlled shipping:
Foods:
Fresh produce: vegetables, fruits, herbs and salads.
Dairy products: milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter and cream.
Meat and poultry: raw meat and processed meat such as chicken, beef, pork, turkey, smoked and processed meats.
Fish and seafood: fresh, smoked and processed fish and shellfish.
Prepared meals and convenience products: salads, sandwiches, pizzas, ready-made meals and frozen food.
Eggs and egg products
Bakery products: bread, cakes and pastries.
Pharmaceuticals:
Vaccines and organic products.
Insulin and other temperature-sensitive drugs.
Blood, plasma and medical samples.
Chemicals:
Temperature-sensitive chemicals and solvents.
Sensitive materials for laboratories and industrial applications.
Other temperature-sensitive products:
Flowers and plants.
Plastics, resins and adhesives.
Electronic components.
The exact temperature requirements vary from product to product and depend on specific rules and regulations. With refrigerated shipping, it is essential to keep the right temperature constant throughout the chain, from storage to delivery. This ensures optimal product quality and safety.
Thermal covers for air cargo offer crucial advantages when shipping temperature-sensitive goods. During air transport, the temperature and pressure in aircraft holds can fluctuate significantly, making effective protection essential. Read below to find out how thermal covers contribute to optimised refrigerated shipping:
Thermal covers are made of high-quality insulating materials that greatly reduce temperature fluctuations. As a result, the temperature inside the packaging remains constant, even with varying temperatures in the cargo hold.
Thanks to reflective surfaces, such as aluminium foil, thermal covers minimise the influence of solar radiation. This is especially important during loading and unloading at airports, where goods are often exposed to direct sunlight and heat.
Using thermal covers reduces the energy consumption of active cooling systems such as refrigerated containers. This not only results in lower transport costs, but also contributes to lower CO2 emissions and a more sustainable transport process.
Thermal covers can be easily adapted to different packaging sizes and shapes. This makes them highly suitable for a variety of logistics applications within air cargo.
Combining thermal covers with additional refrigerants such as dry ice or cooling elements creates an additional protective layer that ensures optimal temperature control throughout the shipping process.
Thermal covers protect your temperature-sensitive products from quality loss and spoilage during air transport. They ensure that you always comply with regulations and industry standards, while your goods arrive safely and in optimal condition.
