Looking for strong and reusable cooling elements? At Cooled Solutions, you will find cooling elements in different sizes - from small to large - for use in coolers, food transport and pharmaceutical shipments. Our rigid cooling elements last longer than gel packs and keep products chilled for up to 72 hours. Ideal for consumers, catering and logistics.
✔ Available directly from stock
✔ Reusable & leakproof
✔ Buy cooling elements by the piece or in bulk
Cooling elements come in all shapes and sizes, so there is a suitable cooling element available. At Cooled Solutions, you can buy cooling elements in various sizes and weights, from small to large:
Small cooling elements (200 grams): These compact elements freeze quickly and are ideal for use in cooler bags or small coolers. Consumers often use small formats for lunch boxes, medicine cooler bags or small shipments that need to stay chilled for a short time.
Medium-sized cooling elements (400 g): The most versatile category. Medium-sized cooling elements offer a good balance between size and cooling capacity. They are widely used in meal boxes, medium-sized coolers and food transports. They fit easily into EPS boxes (insulation boxes) and keep contents cool for a full day.
Large cooling elements (750 g): For the biggest cooling challenges, there are large-size cooling elements available. A large-sized cooling element has extra capacity and therefore a longer cooling time. These heavy elements are used for multi-day transport, large coolers or pallet loads of fresh produce. They provide cooling capacity of up to 48-72 hours in well-insulated packs. Large cooling elements are useful, for example, when exporting food or pharmaceutical products, where a long-term constant temperature is required.
Besides weight, cooling elements can differ in shape (flat, block-shaped or even round) and in the freezing point of the filling fluid. Most standard cooling elements freeze around 0°C, which is suitable for keeping products chilled (2-8°C). There are also special types available with a lower freezing point (e.g. -18°C) for transporting frozen goods, or just a slightly higher freezing point for delicate products that should not get too cold. Which type you need depends on what you want to refrigerate and for how long. Thanks to this wide range of types and sizes, you can always find the right cooling elements products choose one that suits your specific cooling needs.
Keeps products chilled or frozen for long periods during transport.
Suitable for transportation and daily use, with reliable cooling power in combination with EPS boxes or thermo bags.
Quick to freeze, leak-proof and immediately ready for use. No additional tools required.
Durable, sturdy housing for long-term use without loss of quality.
Cooling elements and gel packs are both used to keep products cool, but in professional applications, cooling elements have clear advantages over gel packs. Why do many companies choose cooling elements instead of gel packs? Some key benefits at a glance:
Professional use: In professional environments, hard cooling elements are used more often than gel packs. Companies choose this cooling solution because it performs more reliably and consistently in regular transport. Whereas gel packs are especially useful for one-off or limited use, cooling elements prove themselves in daily logistics processes.
Solid construction: A cooling element has a hard plastic housing instead of a flexible foil bag (gel pack). This makes the construction much stronger. The risk of tearing or leaking is virtually zero, even during rough transport or repeated falls. This makes cooling elements ideal for situations where parcels are moved or stacked a lot.
Sustainability and reuse: Thanks to the robust design, cooling elements much longer than gel packs. You can reuse them hundreds of times without losing quality, which saves costs in the long run and reduces waste. Gel packs, on the other hand, are often thrown away after one use because the film can be damaged or hygiene concerns.
Long-term cooling performance: Depending on the application and the insulation used, cooling elements can provide constant cooling between 24 and 72 hours. This long-term cooling capacity is very valuable for multi-day shipments or international shipments. Gel packs usually have a slightly shorter effective cooling duration, especially if they are not optimally insulated. So with cooling elements, products stay at the desired temperature for longer, provided the rest of the packaging insulates well.
In short, cooling elements are ideally suited for businesses and situations where durability, strength and long cooling duration are important. Gel packs can be a good choice for flexible, one-off applications (they are thinner and lighter), but for recurrent professional use, cooling elements offer the most benefit.
Cooling elements are hard plastic elements filled with a coolant or gel which you place in the freezer beforehand. Once frozen, they act as compact "cold batteries" to keep goods and food cool for long periods without active cooling. Unlike a flexible cooling element (like a gel pack in foil), these cooling elements are made of tough hard plastic. This means that they leakproof, reusable and particularly durable are. You can freeze and use a cooling element over and over again, making it a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly cooling solution. Cooling elements are also called icepacks and are available in various sizes and weights for different applications.
For consumers, cooling elements are indispensable in everyday use and leisure activities. Going for a day at the beach, a picnic in the park or camping? With a few cooling elements in the cool box or cooler bag will keep drinks, food and snacks cold for hours. Consumers benefit from the fact that these elements reusable are - you simply put the elements back in the freezer after use for the next time. Compared to disposable ice cubes or thin bags, hard plastic cooling elements stay cold longer and do not leak. Also for keeping groceries cool on the way home from the supermarket, these prove cooling elements products their value.
In the hospitality and catering sector, reliable refrigeration during food transport is essential. Restaurants, catering companies and hotels use cooling elements to keep dishes, ingredients and buffets safely at temperature during delivery or on site. Cooling elements offer the advantage of robustness here: they can take a beating, do not leak and stay cold for a long time, even with frequent use. Moreover, they are food-safe, which is important for HACCP standards in the catering industry. Whether it's chilled desserts at an event or fresh ingredients for a food truck, using cooling elements ensures that the hospitality industry does not interrupt the cold chain. This increases food safety and prevents spoilage, so customers receive fresh and safe products.
For the transport and logistics sector, cooling elements are a essential part of the cold chain. Logistics service providers and transporters use cooling elements to ship temperature-sensitive goods over longer distances. Think of transporting fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy or ready meals in insulated packaging. By passive cooling with cooling elements combined with insulating boxes (e.g. EPS refrigerated boxes) or thermoboxes, products can be up to 24 to 72 hours remain at the right temperature. This allows transport companies to bridge longer transport routes without the need for active refrigerated trucks. The sturdy construction of the cooling elements prevents damage or leaks during shipping. This is crucial in logistics routes where reliability counts - goods arrive while maintaining quality and minimising temperature fluctuations.
In the pharmaceutical and medical industries, temperature control is vital. Drugs, vaccines, insulin and medical samples often need to stay within strict temperature ranges during storage and transport. Cooling elements are used in medicine couriers, medical coolers and special shipping boxes to keep these products safe and stable between, say, 2°C and 8°C. The hard plastic cooling elements are reliable and leakproof, eliminating the risk of contamination of medication by leaking cooling packs. In addition, they are long-lasting and retain their cooling capacity even after frequent reuse, which is important for pharmacies, laboratories and hospitals that send refrigerated shipments daily. For pharmaceutical applications, it is a great advantage that these elements have a constant temperature maintain throughout the journey, ensuring the efficacy of medicines. Cooling elements are also used in other healthcare sectors, such as laboratories (blood and tissue samples) or the biotech industry, to transport precious materials safely cooled.
