Information sheet
.
Usage of the Q-Fold thermo covers

The insulated "Q-Fold" cover is a multiple use or re-usable thermal thermo cover for Euro pallets and US Block pallets. The Q-fold thermal cover functions as a passive cooling system (see page cold chain passive cooling) and protects the temperature of the temperature sensitive products as pharmaceuticals, food or chemicals against unwanted external outer temperatures.

The special design of the "Q-Fold" cover makes it possible to fold the four insulated sites of the cover on top of the roof. This makes the storage and the return flow of the covers from the receiver back to the sender easier. To use the cover, the folded cover is simply placed on top of the goods and folded open. 

The corners of the covers are Velcro closures so it can be closed easily and fast. The Q-fold thermo thermal cover is tailor made for euro pallets, block pallets or other sizes. Next to the dimensions also the insulation quality is produced according to the required temperature preservation or temperature results.

.
Thermal cover with cooling

If extra cooling is required to maintain the temperature of the products, a cooling device or mass adding cooling technique can be applied as shown in the drawings below.

Placing cool packs (D) and closing sides of the cover Closing front and back of the cover and closing the velcro closures
.
Foldable flaps for vork lifters on thermo covers

Pallets are being moved by fork-lifters and other devices. This means that forks may penetrate the insulated cover when the cover is hanging over the pallet. To prevent the cover from being damaged, the location points of the forks have been produced with foldable flaps. 

This means that these flaps, which are a part of the insulated cover, will fold-up when the forks penetrate the pallet.

.
VIW Height regulation system on thermo covers

The VIW system is a specially designed height regulation system. Special Velcro straps which are implemented in the roof of the cover make it possible to adjust the cover according to the height of the goods loaded on the pallet. This gives the big advantage that only one cover is needed for different pallet heights.

.
Long duration of life of thermo covers

The thermo covers are made out of strong yet light weight materials so they can provide a long duration of life. Supermarkets and transport companies who are using the thermo covers experience a lifetime between 3 and 5 years.

.
Water resistant and cleanable

The used foils in the thermo covers are water resistant so they can be easily cleaned which is important for the hygiene when the cover is used for food or pharmaceutical goods.

.
Track and trace of thermo covers

If the cover is used for one way or re-usable purposes the cover can be provided with several tracking and tracing systems as unique numbers, barcode or RFID technologies. Krautz develops tailor made software solutions for tracking and tracing systems. See page : Track & trace

 Insulating TIPS
 1. Avoid cold bridges: close the cover good
 2. Avoid hot air in the cover with cold products
     = Bring-on the cover in the cold storrage
 3. A pre-chilled cover gives better results
 4. The cover needs to reaches the ground
     = no temperature losses under the pallet
 5. An insulated bottom gives better results
     = One-way insolation = (see Insulation )
One-way-use thermo covers. See theme AIR CARGO
