Food & Vegetables Storage Transportation
Fruits and vegetables are delicate and need the right temperature to stay fresh during storage and transport. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) help keep these items in a stable environment without relying on electricity or active cooling. PCMs are designed to maintain specific temperature ranges, usually between 0°C to 10°C, which is ideal for fresh produce.
For leafy greens like spinach, cooler ranges around 0°C to 4°C are preferred. For fruits like bananas or mangoes, 5°C to 10°C works best. PCM packs are placed in insulated boxes or cold rooms to protect produce from spoilage. They are safe, reusable, and a smart solution for handling temperature-sensitive fruits and vegetables.
One of the main advantages of using PCMs such as (IN01, IN03, OP05, IPO8) is ability to regulate temperature without the need for constant mechanical refrigeration. They are often used inside insulated packaging, cold storage units, and transport containers, helping to keep produce fresh even when power supply is interrupted or during extended transit periods. By minimizing temperature swings, PCMs reduce the risk of damage and spoilage, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables reach consumers in optimal condition.
This approach not only helps maintain product quality but also supports energy efficiency and reduces waste in the cold chain. Whether used in small delivery boxes or large-scale storage systems, phase change materials are an effective and sustainable option for preserving the freshness of perishable goods.
