Temperature gradient of a gel pack in thick-walled EPS box (48 hours)

This graph shows the temperature course of a 400-gram gel pack in a thick-walled EPS box at a constant ambient temperature of 25°C. The orange line shows how the temperature develops from the time of shipment.

–  Same Day Delivery (green dotted line - 12 hours):
After 12 hours, the temperature is still well below freezing. The contents remain deeply chilled, making this scenario perfect for daily deliveries of perishable or chilled products.

–  Next Day Delivery (purple dotted line - 24 hours):
Even after 24 hours, the gel pack remains below 0°C. This makes this configuration also very suitable for shipments with next-day delivery - without the risk of breaking the cold chain.

Frozen for up to 30 hours:
The temperature remains below 0°C for about 30 hours. After that, the box warms up slowly, but remains within the safe cooling range (below 8°C) for up to 48 hours.

Important properties of ice packs for refrigerated transport

Developed for professional use, our icepacks offer an efficient way to safely transport temperature-sensitive products. Below are the key features that make icepacks a popular choice within sectors such as food, fisheries and pharmaceuticals.

Temperature control

Icepacks keep products chilled or frozen for long periods of time, depending on your application. They ensure a constant temperature inside the pack, preserving the quality and safety of your shipment throughout the transport journey.

High cooling capacity

The gel filling in our icepacks provides more powerful and longer-lasting cooling than frozen water. This makes them very suitable for both refrigerated shipping and frozen transport - even with fluctuations in ambient temperature.

Leakproof and product-safe

Unlike ice, an ice pack does not melt into loose water. Even when damaged, the gel remains in the pack, preventing the release of moisture that could affect products. This prevents leakage, keeps your shipment clean and reduces risk of damage.

Non-toxic

Our gel packs are non-toxic and safe when in direct contact with food. Even if a pack is damaged, the gel stays neatly inside the pack and there is no risk of leakage or contamination.

 

Applications of ice packs in transport

Our icepacks are used daily in a variety of sectors to keep products chilled or frozen during transport. They are non-toxic and safe to use in direct contact with food, without risk of contamination or leakage. Icepacks help reduce temperature fluctuations, extend shelf life and preserve the quality of your products.

Food industry

Icepacks are indispensable for transporting fresh or frozen foods such as meat, dairy, fish and ready meals. They prevent spoilage, limit bacterial growth and ensure products arrive at the end customer under the right conditions. They are also ideal for meal boxes and food packages.

Medical industry

In pharmaceutical and medical transport, icepacks are used to safely transport temperature-sensitive products such as vaccines, insulin or blood samples. They guarantee a stable temperature and thus help maintain the efficacy and safety of these critical products.

Fisheries

In the fish industry, icepacks are often used as an alternative to loose ice, especially when melt water is undesirable. Gel packs remain leak-proof, even after thawing, and keep fish products at the right temperature for a long time without moisture accumulation in the pack.

AGF sector (fruit and vegetables)

To maintain the freshness of fruit and vegetables during transport, icepacks offer a reliable refrigeration solution. They reduce temperature fluctuations and help extend the shelf life of sensitive AGF products.

Recreational use

Icepacks are also a practical solution for non-commercial applications such as picnics, camping trips or beach outings. They keep drinks and food cool without hassle or leakage.

Properties of the different Icepacks

Gel-based Icepacks can typically maintain temperature stability for up to 48 hours, depending on factors such as the insulation value of the pack, the outside temperature and the quantity of packs used. For specific transportation needs and optimal performance, this time may vary. It is therefore recommended to carry out tests beforehand to determine the exact duration for your specific usage scenario.

Although icepacks are mainly used for transport, they are also ideal for recreational use. Our gel packs keep drinks and food cool during car journeys to holiday destinations or trips to the beach.
