CUSTOMER REQUEST:
To transport some specific pharmaceutical products
A leader company in the pharma field  has a fleet of insulated/refrigerated monotemperature trucks and about 80% of its load is dry products at a temperature range of 15/25°C.
Their requirement was to transport some specific pharmaceutical products which require a temperature range from 2 to 8°C.
MELFORM SOLUTION
Koala 1300
Melform installed in each truck one refrigerated container model KOALA 1300 in order to guarantee the temperature range required (0 – 10°C)
The containers were powered by inverters connected to the battery of the truck.
Alternatively to the direct connection to the truck, Melform has studied and developed solutions with stand-alone batteries in order to avoid the direct connection to the veichle.
In addition, upon request of the customer, Melform developed an heating system which, connected to the container itself, avoid and/or help to reach the proper temperature inside the truck and grant the 15/25°C during cold weather conditions.
The control of the temperature inside the refrigerated containers set on the vehicle was monitored by means of USB data logger;
According to customer needs, the temperature control can indeed be managed in two ways: at destination, the data logger is delivered together with the goods and downloaded on files; or through a GPS detection system (SIM) directly downloaded on Cloud with the traceability of the vehicle and the goods.
THE ADVANTAGES OF MELFORM SOLUTION
The results were excellent: the temperature maintained by the containers has fully met the customer requirements because  the cold chain has never been interrupted. So far, our customer has equipped his veichles with 600 refrigerated containers with significant cost savings.
Flexibility in transport management
In a mono temperature veichle, it is possible simultaneously load dry, fresh and frozen products. The temperature adjustment range: -25 ° C to + 40 ° C is able to meet the 4 temperatures required by the specifications.
Reduction of investment costs
The investment for the containers is much lower compared to the setting of a refrigerated vehicle. Reduction of circulating vehicles since the deliveries can be split with appropriate containers.
Dual Power
The containers have been connected to the vehicle battery and, once at destination, connected to main power. At destination, together with the goods is also possible to deliver the container itself which maintains   the temperature required by connecting it to the electrical power.
Ecofriendly
Fully recyclable at the end of its operating life.
Washable and cleanable
Easily washable and cleanable to prevent contamination.
