How it works
The professional isothermal box Distrifresh 600×400 front opening of COLD & CO can be used indifferently in cold or hot transport. It is the choice of the eutectic plate, and more exactly of the eutectic liquid it contains, which defines the temperature of maintenance. Choose the eutectic liquid that gives you the cold (or the heat) you need, charge your eutectic plate according to the time/temperature protocol and place your plate on top so that the accumulated energy releases the desired temperature.
The standard holding temperatures available are : 0°C and -16°C.
Follow our advice for packaging eutectic plates by downloading our « Instructions for fresh and frozen eutectic plates » sheet.
Constitution
COLD & CO’s PPE Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal box is made of expanded polypropylene (PPE), a material of choice for thermal insulation. PPE is much stronger than polystyrene due to its robust and impact resistant properties. It resists high temperatures, repeated bending and flexing, chemicals and cracking. It does not absorb water and is very hard.
Therefore, the Distrifresh professional insulated box is particularly suitable for intensive use in logistics for the transport of hot, frozen or fresh food requiring dishwasher and microwave resistance.
Robust, lightweight, stable
COLD & CO’s Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal box is an expanded polypropylene (EPP) container. It is an isothermal container that has the double advantage of being both extremely robust, resisting falls and impacts during transport, and extremely light for easy handling. This very high mechanical resistance allows it to accept a load almost equivalent to its volume. Its PPE material is also very stable over time which makes this isothermal box durable.
Watertight and waterproof
The PPE beads that make up the COLD & CO PPE Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal case are closed cell. This hydrophobic property of the PPE makes the case totally waterproof and impermeable. The design of the lid has been studied to make the Distrifresh professional isothermal box totally hermetic.
Regulation of the transport of goods - ATP certificate
The COLD & CO Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal box is not ATP certified. However, it is perfectly suitable for the transport of perishable goods over a distance of less than 80 kilometers, without breaking the load (i.e. without opening the lid between departure and delivery).
Food conformity
COLD & CO’s PPE Distrifresh professional isothermal crate complies with EU regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. It also complies with EU regulation 10/2011 on materials and articles made of plastics intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Our PPE Distrifresh professional isothermal crates can therefore contain dry foodstuffs (fruit & vegetables) as well as watery, fatty and acidic foodstuffs.
Cleaning and drying
COLD & CO’s PPE Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal boxes are dishwasher safe up to 80°C for 15 minutes. The detergents used must be suitable for polypropylene (PP). The outer and inner surfaces of the box can also be cleaned with a soft sponge and soapy water, avoiding abrasive sponges. In case of spillage/contact with grease and oil, we recommend that you clean your PPE Distrifresh professional isothermal box immediately. We strongly advise against the use of « solvent » type products (acetone, alcohol, etc.).
We recommend that the PPE Distrifresh 600×400 front opening professional isothermal box be dried completely after washing. This drying can be done naturally by leaving the container in the open air in a slightly inclined position. Manual drying can also be carried out using absorbent sheets, paying particular attention to the marking and gripping areas.
Manufacturing and environmental compatibility
COLD & CO’s PPE Distrifresh professional isothermal box is made entirely of expanded polypropylene (PPE). This single material design allows it to be fully recyclable and integrated into recycling chains.
During manufacturing, the EPP beads are injected under pressure without the use of chemical blowing agents. It is not polystyrene! Also, no chlorofluorocarbons are used in its production. PPE is produced without the use of halogenated hydrocarbons or compounds containing lead, cadmium, mercury or chromium.
Recyclability
Our PPE Distrifresh professional isothermal boxes are 100% recyclable and contain no HCFC or HBCD.
