Reefer containers, short for refrigerated containers, are specialized shipping containers designed to transport temperature-sensitive goods, ensuring they remain fresh during transit. They utilize a refrigeration unit, insulation, and airflow systems to maintain a consistent temperature, making them ideal for products like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

• Refrigeration Unit:

  This unit, powered by electricity (typically 380-460V, 3-phase), circulates coolant through pipes within the container walls to cool or heat the air inside. 

• Insulation:

  Thick insulation helps to minimize heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the container, maintaining a stable temperature. 

• Airflow System:

  An effective airflow system ensures that cool air reaches all parts of the container, preventing temperature variations and maintaining product quality. 

• Temperature Monitoring and Control:

  Reefer containers have sophisticated monitoring and control panels to track temperature and humidity levels, allowing for adjustments as needed. 

• Humidity Control:

  Some models also offer humidity control features to prevent spoilage and maintain the freshness of certain products. 

• 20ft and 40ft: These are the most common sizes for reefer containers. 
• 40ft High Cube (HC): Offers extra height for taller cargo. 
• Modified Atmosphere (MA/CA) Containers: These containers have enhanced insulation and specialized air exchange controllers for even more precise temperature and humidity control. 
  Benefits of Using Reefer Containers:

• Preservation of Perishable Goods:

  Reefer containers play a vital role in preserving the quality and safety of temperature-sensitive goods during transit. 

• Global Trade:

  They are essential for international trade, facilitating the movement of goods across long distances while maintaining their integrity. 

• Versatility:

  Reefer containers can handle a wide range of products, from fresh produce and frozen foods to pharmaceuticals and even certain chemicals.
