How to Prepare for Controlled Temperature Transport?
Temperature controlled transport is the entire process of transporting and maintaining a specific temperature for goods that are sensitive to changes in atmospheric conditions. This ensures the composition and quality of certain products, such as fresh and/or frozen foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, throughout the transit time.
To ensure that goods reach their destination in the best possible condition, this type of transport requires a great deal of care in the handling, packing, transport and packaging of goods.
Types of Goods That Require Controlled Temperature
- Perishables: Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, Seafood, Dairy, Eggs, Flowers and Plants, Medicines, Vaccines, etc.
- Frozen: Frozen Foods in General (Fish, Ice Cream, Desserts, Pre-prepared Meals….)
Why is Temperature Controlled so Important?
When chemicals or food are exposed to very hot or very cold environments, their properties may change, resulting in undesirable side effects and impacting on safety and public health. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the right temperature is maintained to keep these products safe to eat.
There are a number of issues to consider when transporting temperature controlled goods:
- Packaging and Handling of Goods
- Temperature Variation and Volume Control.
- Humidity and Airflow Control.
- Arrangement of goods: Avoid areas where temperatures can vary, especially near doors.
- Team: Must be qualified and specialised, i.e. knowledgeable about certain types of cargo, able to monitor the transit process and identify any anomalies.
Avoid irreversible damage: if you need to transport your goods at a controlled temperature and with the correct humidity in order to guarantee their state of preservation, you can count on Olicargo! We plan, organise and deliver your goods safely.
