Common Insulation Materials:
Polyurethane (PUR) / Polyisocyanurate (PIR) Foam: The gold standard. Sprayed or injected as a liquid, it expands to fill all gaps, creating a seamless, high-R-value insulation layer with excellent moisture resistance.
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Panels: A cost-effective option, installed as rigid panels. Less efficient than PIR/PUR and can have gaps if not installed perfectly.
Insulation Thickness: Typically ranges from 80mm to 150mm (3 to 6 inches), depending on the required temperature range.
Refrigeration Unit:
Type: A self-contained, externally mounted, plug-and-play refrigeration unit.
Capacity: Sized appropriately for the container’s volume, insulation quality, ambient temperature, and the specific cooling requirement (e.g., cooling from ambient vs. just maintaining temperature).
Temperature Range:
Chiller (+2°C to +8°C): For fruits, vegetables, beverages, and dairy.
Freezer (-18°C to -25°C): For frozen goods, meat, seafood, and ice cream.
Blast Freezer (down to -40°C or lower): For rapidly freezing fresh products to preserve quality.
Interior Finishes:
Walls/Ceiling: Typically finished with food-grade, easy-to-clean materials like stainless steel or FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) panels.
Flooring: A non-slip, heavy-duty floor that can withstand pallet jacks and is resistant to moisture and chemicals. Often an epoxy coating or a reinforced aluminum plate.
Accessories & Features:
Door: A well-insulated, gasketed door with a robust locking system. Some models have a small personnel door within the large door to minimize cold loss.
Shelving/Racking: Customizable storage solutions to maximize space.
Temperature Monitoring System: Digital controllers with remote monitoring and alarm capabilities (via SMS or app) for temperature excursions.
Lighting: Energy-efficient, vapor-proof LED lighting.
Safety: An internal emergency release mechanism on the door.
Agriculture & Farming: On-farm storage for fruits, vegetables, flowers, and seeds to reduce post-harvest losses.
Fisheries: Storage for fresh and frozen fish and seafood at ports or processing plants.
Food & Beverage Retail/Restaurants: Extra storage for supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants.
Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare: Storage for temperature-sensitive vaccines, medicines, and biological samples.
Logistics & Distribution: Used as a temporary or mobile distribution hub.
Floristry: For preserving cut flowers.
Catering and Events: Mobile storage for large events.
