Buy thermal covers for optimal refrigerated transport

What is a thermal cover for refrigerated transport?

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.

Which products can be transported refrigerated with a thermal cover?

There are many products that require refrigerated transport to ensure their quality, safety and shelf life. Here are some examples of products that require refrigerated transport:

Foods:
a. Fresh produce: vegetables, fruit, herbs and salads
b. Dairy products: milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter and cream
c. Meat and poultry: raw and processed meat, such as chicken, beef, pork, turkey, and smoked or processed meats
d. Fish and seafood: fresh, smoked or processed fish and shellfish
e. Prepared meals and ready-to-eat products: salads, sandwiches, pizzas, frozen meals, etc.
f. Eggs and egg products g. Bakery products: bread, cakes and pastries

Pharmaceuticals:
a. Vaccines and biological products
b. Insulin and other temperature-sensitive drugs
c. Blood, plasma and other medical samples

Chemicals:
a. Temperature-sensitive chemicals and solvents
b. Sensitive laboratory and industrial materials

Other temperature-sensitive products:
a. Flowers and plants
b. Plastics, resins and adhesives
c. Electronic components

The exact temperature requirements can vary, depending on the specific product and applicable regulations. Chilled transport must maintain the right temperature throughout the transport chain, from storage to delivery, to ensure product quality and safety.

How can thermal covers help with air cargo?

Thermal covers are particularly useful in air cargo, as temperature and pressure in aircraft holds can fluctuate significantly during flight. Here are some ways thermal covers can help maintain the temperature of sensitive goods during air transport:

Insulation: The insulating materials from which thermal covers are made help minimise the impact of external temperature fluctuations. As a result, the temperature inside the cover remains more constant even if the ambient temperature in the aircraft's cargo hold changes.
Radiation protection: thermal covers with reflective surfaces, such as aluminium foil, help reduce the impact of solar radiation on the product. This is especially important during loading and unloading at airports, where goods may be exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Energy efficiency: the use of thermal covers optimises the energy consumption of active cooling equipment, such as refrigerated containers. This can result in lower transport costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
Flexibility: Thermal covers can be easily adapted to different packaging sizes and shapes, providing a flexible temperature maintenance solution for air cargo.
Reinforced protection: Thermal covers can be used in combination with other cooling methods, such as dry ice or cooling elements, to provide an extra layer of protection and ensure better temperature control throughout the transport process.

In general, thermal covers in air cargo help maintain the integrity and quality of temperature-sensitive products, reduce the risk of spoilage and ensure compliance with regulations and industry standards.
