Insulating
Euro and US block pallets according to protocol "Temax4000
COVER"
|
|
|
| Needed:
Bottom insulation blanket +
Insulated cover |
|
Below
the Temax insulation is shown as an insulated cover with
insulated bottom for insulating pallets (Euro or Block size)
to protect temperature sensitive goods against unwanted
external temperatures in ROAD - AIR - SEA transports. The
Temax insulation functions as a passive cooling or passive
packaging system and is tailor made according to the required
temperature needs and requirements.

Closing
the cold bridges
|
|
In
order to achieve a good temperature preservation it is
very important that no convection flow or air flow can
take place from the outside to the inside of the pallet
/ goods. Therefore it is important that all potential
cold bridges are closed meaning that all the overlaps of
the insulation material need to be taped / sealed with
tape. It is advisable to use the special TEMAX tape
(width 10cm) and tape dispenser to do this. Due to the
width of 10cm the sealing can be done very fast and
efficient. If you need to cut the insulation we would
advise you to use the special TEMAX industrial scissor
which has a big opening and is very strong which makes
it easy to cut the standard 3,5cm thickness of the
insulation material. In short, do you want to work fast
and efficient, please use the Temax additional work
tools. |

Temax4000-COVER thermal
thermo cover for
manual internal production processes
|
|
This
protocol is being used by producers of pharmaceutical products
as also other actors in the cold chain or distribution chain
like transport companies, distributors, forwarders, air cargo
handling agents, airliners etc… This protocol is yet
specially designed when the insulation is being done in a
manually production process which means that the goods are
manually loaded on the pallet. If an automated loading of the
pallet is being used, the next design (see point 2) is more
suitable.

According
to this protocol, two items are used to insulate
a pallet being an insulated bottom with folding
flaps and an insulated thermal thermo cover. First the
insulated bottom is placed on the pallet to
protect the goods against an airflow of external
temperatures through the bottom side of the
goods. Next the goods are placed on the
insulated bottom. An insulated thermal thermo cover is placed
over the goods so a total protection can be
offered. Last, the flaps of the bottom
insulation are folded upwards against the sides
of the insulated tharmal thermo cover and the possible cold
bridges between both insulation materials are
sealed with tape. Now the pallet is completely
insulated and ready to be shipped. |
|
|
The
insulation material for this protocol is tailor made according
to the required temperature results. Mostly the Temax4000 with
thickness of 4cm is being used yet due to the wanted results
the quality can be increased or decreased. The material is
also tailor made according to the pallet sizes. The height can
easily be adjusted so one cover can be used for different
pallet heights.

Temax4000-COVER thermal
thermo cover for
automated internal production processes
|
|
This
part of the protocol is mostly used by producers of
pharmaceutical products. This protocol is specially designed
for automated systems when for example the insulation is being
done in a automated production process which means that the
goods are loaded on the pallet by machines or if the empty
pallet is going through a loading process to be loaded
automatically or that the pallet is being wrapped with
automated sealing machines. In such cases it is very important
that the bottom insulation has no flaps and has the same size
as the pallet so the production machines or wrapping machines
are not influenced by the flaps hanging over de side of the
pallet.

potential cold bridges are sealed. Now the

material is also tailor made according to the
pallet sizes. The height can easily be adjusted
so one thermal thermo cover can be used for different pallet
heights. To
prevent the bottom insulation from falling of
the pallet during the loading processes, the
insulation can be foreseen with double sided
tape at the bottom to tape it on to the pallet |

Temax4000-COVER thermal thermo covers for third parties in the cold chain
|
|
If
pharmaceutical products are being send in a transport system
where partial active cooling is being used, other actors in
the cold chain, being third parties to the producer, can
decide or be obligated by the pharmaceutical producer to use
passive cooling or passive packaging to ensure or guaranty the
temperature of the goods in the CCP’s of the chain. The
goods are unloaded and it is up to the third party or actor at
the airport to insulate the pallet with insulation material,
functioning as a passive packaging, to ensure the required
temperatures. The problem with this way of transport is that
some pharmaceutical producers claim that their pallets may not
be re-packed. This means that the actor can not 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, 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.
