Temax insulation for freight forwarding of food products, perishables as fresh or frozen foods

If temperature sensitive food products such as perishables, fresh, chilled, heated or frozen food products are being send in a cold chain or transport system where active cooling or passive cooling is used, the actors in the cold chain, being third parties to the producer as transport companies, distribution centers, freight forwarders, airline or sea freight companies etc… can decide or be obligated by the food producer to extra insulation as thermal blankets to ensure or guaranty the temperature of the goods in the CCP’s “Critical Control Points” of the cold chain. The problem with this way of transport is that some food producers claim that their pallets may not be re-packed. This means that the actor cannot place an insulation between the pallet and the goods. A solution for this situation could be to use an extra floating pallet on which the insulation is placed and on which the pallet with the goods is loaded. This way of insulating gives certain disadvantages like the extra height and extra weight created by the extra pallet. Therefore it could be advisable that the third party or actor in the cold chain, who needs to insulate the pallet, convinces the producer to pre-insulate the bottom at the production process so the third party only needs to place the insulated cover and seal the potential cold bridges meaning that the use of an extra pallet can be avoided.
