[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nEnsuring the correct temperature for temperature-sensitive products is crucial for cold chain security. In the transport of food, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples, a slight temperature fluctuation can compromise product integrity.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nFor this reason, MELFORM designs passive refrigeration systems<\/strong> that ensure reliability, efficiency, and energy independence.\r\nAmong the most advanced solutions: eutectic plates<\/strong> and cryogenic CO\u2082 systems<\/strong>, which can be integrated into CARGO isothermal containers to meet the most complex transport needs.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nEutectic plates<\/strong> are genuine thermal energy accumulators: they operate through the phase change<\/strong> (liquid\/solid) of an aqueous solution which, once frozen, melts slowly, maintaining a constant temperature.\r\n\r\nKey advantages of MELFORM plates:<\/strong>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Thermal Stability: <\/strong>Maintain the desired temperature for long periods, ensuring the safety and quality of transported products.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Energy Independence: <\/strong>Do not require electrical power.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Optimized Freezing: <\/strong>Compatible with the MELFORM Rapid Cooler system<\/strong>, which accelerates the conditioning process.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Food Safety:<\/strong> Non-toxic and safe eutectic content.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Ease of Use: <\/strong>Simple to pre-condition and position inside the isothermal containers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAvailable Range:<\/strong>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Piastra fresco (+3\u00b0C):<\/strong> per alimenti e prodotti refrigerati.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Frozen Plate (-21\u00b0C): <\/strong>For frozen products.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Frozen Plate Plus (-21\u00b0C)<\/strong>: For even longer holding times.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Hot Plate (+70\u00b0C)<\/strong>: For transporting hot food.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nBest practice for use:<\/strong>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • Chilled Plate \u2192 condition at -10\u00b0C.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Frozen\/Frozen Plus Plate \u2192 condition at -30\u00b0C.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Hot Plate \u2192 preheat in water at +80\u00b0C for 50 minutes.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nFor optimal performance, the use of the MELFORM Rapid Cooler<\/strong> is recommended, as it reduces freezing times and improves the overall efficiency of the system.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nWhen ultra-low temperatures must be maintained or particularly sensitive loads need to be managed, MELFORM offers cryogenic solutions based on CO\u2082<\/strong> (dry ice or carbon dioxide snow<\/strong>).\r\n\r\nThese systems exploit the sublimation of carbon dioxide snow at -78\u00b0C<\/strong>, ensuring rapid, uniform, and constant cooling over time.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe CRYO POWER BOX<\/strong> is an advanced cryogenic system designed to integrate the use of CO\u2082 into CARGO isothermal containers.\r\n\r\nKey Features:<\/strong>\r\n
          \r\n \t
        • Compatible with the most common semi-automatic carbon dioxide snow injection systems.<\/li>\r\n \t
        • Available in one or two-compartment versions for optimal refrigerant dosing.<\/li>\r\n \t
        • Maintains ultra-low temperatures for extended periods.<\/li>\r\n \t
        • Ideal for transporting frozen products and, with appropriate measures, also chilled products.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nBenefits:<\/strong>\r\n
            \r\n \t
          • Rapid and effective cooling.<\/li>\r\n \t
          • Uniform temperature inside the container.<\/li>\r\n \t
          • Versatile solution for various types of transport.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe CRYO POWER TRAY<\/strong> represents a practical and flexible solution for using dry ice in pellets, blocks, or loose bags.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTechnical specifications:<\/strong>\r\n
              \r\n \t
            • Material<\/strong>: Stainless steel, resistant, hygienic, and easy to clean.<\/li>\r\n \t
            • Installation:<\/strong> Removable, positioned on the eutectic plate guides, and secured with safety brackets.<\/li>\r\n \t
            • Compatibility:<\/strong> Suitable for different types of solid CO\u2082, based on transport needs.<\/li>\r\n \t
            • Versatility:<\/strong> Ideal for frozen products, but also usable for chilled goods with the right configuration.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe system allows for homogenous cold distribution<\/strong>, with the possibility of easily replacing or refilling the refrigerant.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBox or Tray? The practical usage guide <\/strong>\r\n
                \r\n \t
              • CRYO POWER BOX (Box)<\/strong>: Perfect for those needing prolonged thermal autonomy<\/strong>, managing CO\u2082 in a controlled and safe manner.<\/li>\r\n \t
              • CRYO POWER TRAY (Tray)<\/strong>: The ideal choice for flexibility and operational practicality<\/strong>, especially for short transports or those requiring frequent loading\/unloading.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe choice depends on the product type<\/strong>, transport duration, and environmental conditions<\/strong>. The MELFORM Technical Office is always available to advise on the optimal configuration<\/strong> and develop customized solutions<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nFor over forty years, MELFORM has been designing and manufacturing isothermal and refrigerated solutions<\/strong> for the transport of temperature-sensitive products.
