Thermal
cover and insulated covers for airplane pallets and aircraft pallets one-way or
multiple use
|
|
|
|
|

|
An
airplane or aircraft pallet is a pallet which is specific produced
for the use on airplanes. Airplane pallets have very
different dimensions then the known euro pallets or
block pallets. The mostly used standard airplane pallet
has the dimensions 318cm x 224cm with a usable surface
of 304cm x 210cm yet more different dimensions are made
according the possibilities and dimensions of the
airplane. Airline companies and air cargo or air freight
companies also use these airplane pallets to ship
conditioned goods as pharmaceuticals or perishables.
Therefore it is nessecary to insulate the airplane
pallet and the goods so the temperature of the goods on
the airplane pallet can be kept within the requested
parameters. Below you can find some solutions on how to
insulate conditioned goods loaded on an airplane pallet.

| 1.
Completely insulating the airplane pallet
|
|
|
| Solutions
for one-way or multiple use |
|
In
this solution the conditioned goods are loaded
on the airplane or aircraft pallet. These goods can be
prepacked on euro or block pallets which means
that pallets are placed upon the airplane
pallet. The first step in insulating these
goods is to place an thermal blanket on the
airplane pallet to prevent the temperature of
the airplane pallet influencing the
temperature of the goods. Is the pallet
insulated, the goods can be loaded on the
thermal blanket. If the goods are in place, a
thermal blanket is being placed on the top of
the goods and another thermo blanket is being
used to wrap the sides of the goods. If the
insulation is for one-way use, the thermal
blankets are foreseen with tape on the bottom,
sides and roof to tape together or seal off
any possible cold bridges. A multiple use
thermal blanket is foreseen with velcro
closures.

Individual insulating on the airplane pallet
|
|
|
| Solutions
for one-way or multiple use |
|
In
this solution the conditioned goods which are
loaded on an euro pallet or block pallet are
insulated individualy. This gives the
advantage that goods with different
temperature requirements can be loaded on the
same airplane or aircraft pallet. To insulate the
individual pallet, a small thermal blanket
needs to placed on the airplane pallet on
which the euro pallet or block pallet will be
placed. Next a thermal cover can be placed
over the goods or euro block pallet. Please
make sure that the thermal cover has a
cross-over with the bottom insulation and tape
it of if neccesary. It is very important that
all possible cold bridges are closed and
sealed. |

3.
Individual pre-insulated pallets on the
airplane pallet
|
|
|
| Solutions
for one-way or multiple use |
|
In
this solution the conditioned goods are
pre-insulated at the producer of the
pharmaceutical or perishable products or at
the forwarder. In this case it is not
neccesary to insulate the airplane pallet yet
an extra insulation can offer extra
temperature results. The advantage of the
pre-insulated pallets is that goods with
different temperatures can be loaded on one
airplane pallet. |

The
Temax insulation is flexible, foldable,
water resistant, 100% recycleble and has a
very light weight.

To use this
protocol, more insulation materials can be
used. See page : Thermal

|
Sealing
and stretching
|
|
Pallets
are usualy sealed with seal foils or
stretch foils to prevent the goods from
falling of the pallet. If this pallet
needs to be insulated, it is adviseble to
insulate after the sealing. If the pallet
is being insulated first and afterwards
seald with stretchfoil, the chance is real
that the insulation is pressed so hard
that it is being reduced in thickness
which will influence the temperature
results.

Tailor
made |
|
Krautz
is producer of this unique insulated
thermo blanket and offers the possibility
for tailor made solutions. The insulated
thermo blanket can be made on rolls so you
can wrap your goods or pallets or the
insulation can be produced as a tailor
made package.
