Transportation of temperature-sensitive goods, such as food, drugs or chemicals, requires special solutions to ensure stable thermal conditions. Improper temperature can lead to serious financial losses and loss of customer confidence.
Temperature-sensitive products
Goods such as food, drugs and chemicals are often sensitive to temperature or temperature fluctuations. Inappropriate temperatures can lead to large financial losses in the form of damaged goods, and especially costs due to lost business and customer relationships. Temperature-sensitive goods can be transported in temperature-controlled carriers, alternatively in standard carriers if the goods themselves are well insulated. The choice of method depends on the type of goods, quantity, frequency, need for handling and type of cargo carrier.
Forankra offers various systems for handling temperature-sensitive goods, such as movable baffles for refrigerated vehicles and thermal pallet covers. With movable baffles, different temperature zones can be created quickly and efficiently, increasing the possible payload capacity of the vehicle. Thermal pallet canopies are used to protect pallets, roll cages and other types of temperature-resistant goods.
Moisture-sensitive products
Damage to goods by moisture most often occurs during transportation, loading/unloading and temporary storage at terminals. Temperature fluctuations are difficult to remove, but by using desiccants to remove moisture from the air, moisture can be prevented from accumulating to levels where it can cause damage.
Costs for goods damaged due to moisture during transport are unpredictable and can be very high. Insurers estimate that about 12% of all damage to container shipments is moisture-related.
Forankra's product range includes dehumidifiers for two areas of application:
- Dehumidifiers for placement inside the cargo carrier/container
- Boxed dehumidifiers for placement inside cartons and product boxes
Thermal protection systems from Forankra
Forankra offers a wide range of solutions for securing temperature-sensitive goods, including:
-
Partition walls for separating temperature zones in refrigerated vehicles - allow transport space to be divided into temperature zones, increasing loading flexibility and reducing costs.
-
Moisture protection - eliminate moisture, minimizing the risk of condensation and damage.
Partition walls for separating temperature zones in refrigerated vehicles
Movable partitions allow flexible configuration of transport space in refrigerated vehicles. They allow frozen and refrigerated goods to be transported simultaneously, reducing costs and environmental impact. The partitions are available in three variants:
Hard thermo walls – have an integrated gas spring mechanism for additional stabilization.
Solutions for moisture-sensitive goods
In the transportation and storage of moisture-sensitive goods, it is crucial to adequately protect against excess moisture, which can lead to damage, corrosion, mold and a reduction in product quality. Forankra offers comprehensive solutions in the form of dehumidifiers that effectively absorb moisture from the surrounding air, minimizing the risk of damage.
Moisture absorbers
Absorbers are hygroscopic materials that absorb water molecules from the air, reducing moisture levels. They are used in situations where excess moisture can cause damage, especially during transportation and storage. They are suitable for any product that requires protection from moisture.
The absorbers are available in a variety of forms, from small sachets (1-200 g) to large moisture-absorbing systems used in carriers and containers. Depending on the application, Forankra offers absorbers to suit different conditions and needs.
Pouches with one layer of packaging - ideal for crates and larger boxes.
Pouches with two layers of packaging - recommended for smaller boxes and situations where the canister is in contact with the goods.
Absorpole – Converts moisture into liquid, which accumulates in a special container at the bottom. Designed for vertical use.
Absorgel Blanket – absorber in the form of a blanket.
Absorgel Hanging – hung on the walls of the container, effectively absorbs moisture.
Benefits of using moisture absorbers
-
Effective protection against moisture
-
Reduced risk of corrosion, mold and product damage
-
Can be used in a variety of transportation modes
-
Ease of installation and a wide range of customized solutions
By using Forankra moisture absorbers, you can be sure that your goods will remain safe and free from moisture even during long-term transportation and storage.
