The Benefits Of Passive Temperature Control When Shipping Fruits And Vegetables

By July 26, 2016 No Comments

With the summer upon us, many people enjoy trying out all the various fruits and vegetables that come into season this time of year. However, because these goods are perishable, they can be affected by the harsh temperatures as they are shipped across the world. Therefore, the process of getting the fruits and vegetables from the farm to the marketplace can be quite stressful for shippers and logistics managers alike. Because temperatures can be extremely brutal during the warmer months, the quality of these fruits and vegetables can be compromised, especially since the trucks and ocean freights get even warmer than the weather outside. Therefore, it’s imperative for shippers and logistics managers to find a method of controlling the temperature.

For many companies nowadays, passive temperature control has become the most effective method is safely delivering fruits and vegetables to the marketplace. Passive temperature control involves controlling how hot or cool a given area is by means of minimal energy use. With this in mind, many shippers and logistics managers have discovered the benefits of our insulated cargo blankets and pallet covers.
