Unlocking the Power of the Cold Chain
with Carrier® Transicold from Mandilas

In a world where precision and quality matter, Mandilas Transicold stands at the forefront of refrigeration solutions, revolutionizing industries that depend on the cold chain. But what is the cold chain? It’s a term that encapsulates the intricate web of processes in the production, distribution, storage, and sale of chilled and frozen goods, ranging from food to pharmaceuticals.

Controlling this chain is critical, ensuring the safety and quality of refrigerated products while adhering to legislative directives and industry codes of practice. Mandilas Transicold services stand out in this endeavour, as we offer a comprehensive range of services:

This can be in the form of read-only, Standby, No engine, multi-temperature (-20 to 300C), and constant cooling capacity.

Quality and Safety of Chilled and Frozen Foods

In the world of refrigeration, quality and safety are paramount. Chilling, the process of reducing temperatures below ambient but above freezing, is the linchpin of short-term food preservation. It slows down the microbial, physical, chemical, and biochemical reactions that lead to spoilage. Within the range of 0°C to +5°C, microorganism growth is restrained, preserving food safety and quality.

Reefer Container Insulation and Why it is Needed?

Reefer containers, also known as refrigerated containers, are the unsung heroes of the cold chain, dedicated to preserving the quality and safety of perishable goods. They safeguard the temperature-sensitive journey of food, medications, and more.

Insulation is a key element in reefer containers, and it comes in two forms: foam insulation and vacuum insulation panels. While foam insulation is cost-effective, vacuum insulation panels excel at maintaining stable temperatures while being environmentally friendly. Insulation ensures that goods reach their destination in impeccable condition, as temperature fluctuations are kept at bay.

Key Factors That Impact the Insulation Performance of Reefer Containers

There are several factors that can affect how well insulation performs in reefer containers, and they include:

Ambient Temperature: External temperature influences the insulation’s ability to maintain a stable internal temperature. Extreme weather conditions make insulation work harder.

Humidity: High humidity can reduce insulation’s thermal performance, potentially leading to condensation and damage.

Wind: Strong winds affect heat transfer and can lead to temperature stratification.

Gaps and Leaks: Any openings in the container can cause heat to escape or enter, resulting in temperature fluctuations.

Proper Sealing: Correctly sealed doors are essential to prevent heat exchange. Poor sealing can lead to spoilage.

Insulation Condition: Any damage to the insulation, caused by wear and tear or exposure to extreme conditions, can compromise its performance.

Characteristics of Vehicles for Transporting Perishable Goods

Refrigerated units are insulated and equipped with cooling systems, capable of maintaining low temperatures even in sweltering conditions. They come in different classes:

Class A: Maintains temperatures between +12°C and 0°C.

Class B: Operates between +12°C and -10°C.

Class C: Caters to temperatures between +12°C and -20°C.

Selecting the right refrigeration unit is a decision that hinges on several factors, from the body dimension of the vehicle to the engine type, and even configuration. Our Engineers at Mandilas are available to provide expert guidance to help you make the perfect decisions that align with your specific needs.

In the world of refrigeration, Mandilas Transicold stands out as the beacon of quality, ensuring your products reach their destination with uncompromised safety and freshness.
