Logistics of temperature goods

Expert transport logistics includes delivery of perishable goods in the list of services. This requires the carriage of temperature-controlled cargo - refrigerated units.
Special vehicles with refrigerators, thermal insulation of the body - maintaining the necessary temperature when transporting "perishables", medicines, as well as chemical products sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Technological refrigeration systems, automatic monitoring of the temperature regime during dispatch - delivery without loss of quality consumer properties of goods.

Sending temperature-controlled cargo: advantages

Transporting cargo with temperature control - a number of significant advantages:

1. Preservation of quality, consumer properties. Thanks to the maintenance of the necessary temperature spoilage can be prevented.
2. Reduction of losses when transporting temperature-controlled cargo. Stability of the regime minimises natural loss.
3. Possibility to deliver a range of goods with different modes in one vehicle. Refrigerated transport is equipped with separate compartments with individual t° control.
4. Reduction of time costs for delivery of assembled cargoes with temperature regime due to the possibility of round-the-clock transportation of high-speed imports sensitive to day and night temperature fluctuations.

Types of perishable goods

Foodstuffs:

• Meat, poultry, sausages;
• Dairy products: yoghurts, cottage cheese, sour cream, cheese, etc.;
• seafood and fish;
• vegetables, fruits, berries;
• ready meals, semi-finished products.

Beverages:

• Pasteurized juices;
• beer and kvass;
• non-alcoholic and alcoholic carbonated drinks.

Confectionery and flour products:

• Cakes, pastries, pastries;
• sweets, chocolate.

Medical preparations, biomaterials. Temperature-sensitive chemicals.

Specific details of food delivery

When transporting food products, a number of specific details must be observed to preserve their quality as well as freshness:

Each group of goods requires the maintenance of certain figures of t°. For meat - it is the delivery of goods with a temperature regime - 2 - +6 ° C, also for this category requires a veterinary certificate. For fish, dairy products 0 +5 ° C. For fruit and vegetables +6 - +10; frozen semi-finished products from -18 ° C.

Separate placement of raw and cooked food products is mandatory to avoid cross microbiological contamination. It is important to maintain a proper microclimate.

Use of thermo-insulated Euro-pallets, thermo-containers with maintenance of the set regime during loading and unloading operations and in warehouses.

Strict observance of personal hygiene rules by employees during transportation, loading and unloading of food products.

Temperature monitoring in the refrigerator with registration of indicators during the delivery of perishable goods to control compliance with the "cold chain".

Compliance with these specific details - ensuring freshness, safety of delivered food products.

Transport of beverages, tinned and confectionery products

When transporting beverages, it is important to maintain the rules - +2...+20 °C depending on the category:

For soft drinks (beer, kvass) - +2...+8 °C. Higher temperatures will lead to intensive foaming and spoil the flavour.

Non-alcoholic carbonated drinks - up to +20 °C to avoid excessive pressure in cans and bottles.

Canned products (canned vegetables, fruit, canned meat) can be transported for a long time without special temperature regime.

But when transporting confectionery products with cream, fruit fillings, butter - chilled cargoes, it is optimal to maintain the temperature of transportation of temperature cargoes from +2 to +6 ° C to prevent melting of these components, loss of shape, marketable appearance.

Temperature-controlled delivery of medicines

To maintain the necessary temperature, specially equipped transport with refrigeration units is used. Drivers are instructed, monitoring compliance with the rules. The temperature inside the body is monitored throughout the journey. Compliance with the temperature regime guarantees the preservation of properties and effectiveness of medicines.

Specific details of transport and delivery of temperature-controlled cargo

The main nuances of transport with compliance with the rules:

Specially equipped refrigerated vans, containers with systems for maintaining the required temperature are used for cargo transportation with temperature regime.

Continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity with the help of sensors and data loggers is mandatory.

Drivers and freight forwarders are trained in the rules of working with thermolabile cargo.

There is a risk of disruption of the cold chain due to equipment breakdowns or personnel errors, so careful control is exercised at all stages.

Delivery times and routes are carefully planned taking into account the perishable nature of the cargo and weather conditions.

What needs to be considered to organize temperature-controlled transport

It is necessary to choose a suitable transport - refrigerator or isothermal body with refrigeration unit. It is important to consider the permissible range for a particular product. It should also be possible to control the temperature during delivery. The route is planned taking into account time constraints, the availability of points for refuelling, maintenance of refrigeration equipment. It is necessary to prepare a package of shipping documents in advance.
