Candor Expedite, a transportation provider, has launched a cold chain division that utilizes fully reusable cold packaging. The technology allows pallet and box-sized frozen and refrigerated shipments to be shipped by regular transport and stay frozen or refrigerated for up to nine days.
Candor Expedite’s Food Chain is working in partnership with Cool Chain, a European technology provider who has been successfully working with pharmaceutical companies for over a decade.
The company says that, by consolidating deliveries of perishable and dry goods in one truck that supports three different temperatures — frozen refrigerated and ambient — food manufacturers, distributors and retailers can eliminate the costs of multiple deliveries.
No dry ice is required. Specific size boxes or pallets can hold temperatures from 10-degrees through 70-degrees for four days on the small boxes, to nine days for a pallet.
In addition to reducing carbon and refrigerant emissions, the boxes are reusable and contain no harmful toxins. Nor do they require extra insulation and cardboard which often gets discarded; or dry ice which can emit a dangerous carbon dioxide gas as it melts.
