"Q-Fold" insulated
cover for roller containers for temperature
protection of conditioned food
WHAT
DO YOU NEED?
We
calculate the required insulation
quality for your shipment /
transport
The
Q-Fold thermo cover or insulated
cover is used to maintain the
temperature of the goods which are
loaded on the roller container. The
Q-Fold is produced with four
foldable sides which fold together
on top of the cover. For using the
cover, simply unfold the sides en
close the corners with the Velcro or
zipper closure. Now the roller
container is ready for transport. At
the delivery the zippers or Velcro is opened again and the sides
are folded op on top of the roof of the
cover so a small package remains.
This package is taken back to the
logistic centre.
Build-in
ice-packs in the roof
The
roof of the Q-Fold insulated cover has a
special construction which is placed on the
top of a roller container. At the bottom
side of this construction there is a possibility
to implement ice-packs to
maintain the temperature of chilled of
frozen goods in the roller container for a
longer time. Ice-packs models: see page Ice
packs
.
Insulating
the bottom
Most
roller containers have bottoms which are not
completely closed so air can flow through these
openings. Therefore it is very important to seal
or insulate the bottom of the container before
loading the chilled or frozen products. An
insulated bottom will increase the temperature
results significant. To insulate the bottom a
on-way use insulation or cartboard can be used.

Air
in the roller container
Filling
roller containers with the goods, it can happen
that de roller container is not completely filled.
Yet the roller containers have sidebars which
stand higher than the filled goods. This means
that lots or air can go into the roller container.
Therefore it is very important that this air is
being kept to a minimum or an insulated blanket is
being placed on top of the goods to protect it
from the air above. Also it is important to
bring-on the cover in the cold storrage room so
the air above the goods is the same as the
temperature of the goods. Hot air combined with
chilled products will have a negative temperature
result.
.
Storage of
the thermal cover Q-fold
As
soon as the goods are delivered,
the sides of the insulated cover are
simply folded on top of the roof
of the insulated cover so a small package
remains. These packages are
loaded on an empty roller
container for transport to the
logistic centre. Krautz
also produces special storage containers to
store the folded thermo covers.
.
Long
duration of life of the insulated
cover
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 the insulated cover
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
