If I do not complicate it, I will say that reefer containers
are big fridges that are used to transport temperature controlled cargoes such
as fruits, meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, dairy and also many of the non-food
products such as flowers, pharmaceuticals and film across countries and oceans
with giving the any kind of dent in their safety. You cannot afford any kind of
temperature intolerance while carrying theses items. It is not just carrying
these items to the destination, but it is also important to carry these items
with the proper safety, no matter what is the temperature is outside.
There
are some cautions we should follow -
- Cargo should not be stuffed beyond the end of the T-floor
- Cargo should not be overstuffed and it should not go above the red line
- The cargo container is carrying should be tightly wedged. It is harmful if it shifts during the passage
- Unit must always set at the proper carrying temperature and this set temperature will vary according to the cargo being loaded
- Humidity is common in these containers and the dehumidify control system must work fine.
- If there is need of the pre cooling. The cargo is pre cooled, it is not the container which is pre cooled
- Ventilation cannot be ignored during the journey of the cargo and the proper level of the ventilation is maintained
The hot
temperature of Arabia and the reefer containers -
Arabia is a hot land and the temperature remains very high
except few winter months. The need of the fresh food item is dire since this
region is arid and import is very high here from the out of the peninsula. The
service providers of the reefer transport companies are compelled to provide
the reefer services to make the delivery food items secure.
Reefer containers have this ability to maintain the cargo at
the required temperatures during the whole of the journey. There is the refrigerator
unit attached with it and this unit and it responsible for the lower
temperature of your shipment, even in the most difficult conditions.
Reefer containers also equipped to ‘warm up’ the goods for
those shipments where it is required; it has the capacity to maintain
temperatures up to 30°C if there is need of it, no matter what is the outside
temperature.
Safe delivery of
the cargo should be done -
We must note it down that the reefer unit is not responsible
to reduce the temperature of the cargo it is carrying. It is designed to
maintain the low temperature of the already cooled cargo.
There are many food items which come from the large distance
so they travel very long. So it is necessary for this kind of shipment to make
the fruits pre cooled to the lower temperature. Three steri probes are inserted
in the every carton for the cooling purpose.
