Prepare your sample request

Construire votre brief de pack PCM et bloc réfrigérant

Select the shipment details your quality, logistique, and packing teams already know. Tempk can use the brief to recommend samples; the final phase point, quantité, and placement must be checked in the complete packout.

Éléments à personnaliser?

Recommended starting configuration

    Choose the operating form

    Adapter le format PCM à l’expéditeur et au flux quotidien

    Rigid bricks, pochettes souples, and panel arrays solve different fit and handling problems. Select the form around usable chamber space and repeatability, not appearance alone.

    Fixed reusable layout

    Blocs réfrigérants rigides en PEHD

    Useful for EPP boxes, glacières médicales, sacs de livraison, and return loops that need durable shells, nettoyage facile, emplacement fixe, and inventory control.

    View reusable ice bricks
    Space-conforming layout

    Flexible PCM pouches

    Useful when the coolant must fit narrow side gaps, lid spaces, or irregular payloads while limiting unused volume in a one-way shipper.

    Compare PCM behavior
    Qualified chamber layout

    PCM panels or cartridges

    Useful for fixed medical or high-value shippers where every panel position, état de conditionnement, séparateur, and logger point is recorded.

    Plan pharmaceutical packaging
    Mixed thermal load

    Hybrid coolant packout

    Combines rigid and flexible PCM, or PCM with another approved cold source, when the chamber needs both fixed capacity and gap-filling coverage.

    Plan packout testing

    Repeat-order control

    Keep the approved PCM system consistent after sampling

    A repeatable packout depends on more than the coolant formula. The physical unit, condition de départ, position, and operating checks must stay aligned with the tested assembly.

    1

    PCM identity

    Fix the phase point, formulation reference, fill mass or volume, batch controls, and label used for the approved program.

    2

    Ajustement physique

    Fix the outside dimensions, épaisseur, coque ou film, orientation, number of units, and chamber clearance.

    3

    Starting condition

    Record conditioning temperature, temps de conditionnement minimum, limite de mise en scène, and how ready units are identified.

    4

    Pack-and-return process

    Placement des contrôles, séparateurs, opening sequence, nettoyage, inspection, inventaire, and retirement of damaged units.

    Choose by temperature requirement

    Commencer par la plage de manutention, puis confirmer le packout complet

    Use these options to narrow the first samples. Final performance depends on the payload, quantité de PCM, conditionnement, isolation, placement, and route profile working together.

    Exigence d'expéditionPCM starting optionPlacement and separationWhat the sample should confirm
    2–8°C freeze-sensitive medicineConditioned PCM selected against the approved product limits, in a rigid panel, brique, or fixed pouch arrangement.Use a separated payload chamber and prevent direct frozen-coolant contact unless the qualified design permits it.Warmest and coldest product points, risque de gel, marge de retard, répétabilité du conditionnement, and assembly accuracy.

    Itinéraire geléSubzero PCM or a hybrid system compared with other approved frozen cold sources and carrier constraints.Distribute the cold source around the frozen chamber while protecting packaging, étiquettes, and products from concentrated contact.Payload warming, remaining cold source, retard d'itinéraire, pressure or vapor considerations, étiquettes, and receiver handling.
    Reusable PCM ice bricks in multiple sizes and colors for custom cold chain packouts
    Existing Tempk rigid ice brick formats provide reference dimensions before a custom shell or packout is developed.

    Fit the coolant to the chamber

    A PCM unit must fit the shipper after it is fully conditioned

    Frozen or conditioned thickness, cap clearance, coins moulés, position du diviseur, payload removal, and packing speed can all change whether a brick works in practice.

    Measure usable space

    Share internal shipper and payload dimensions, non seulement la taille du carton extérieur.

    Check dimensions after conditioning

    Check the unit after conditioning for thickness, platitude, ajuster, and surface condition.

    Fix orientation

    Use pockets, machines à sous, étiquettes, couleurs, or a packing diagram so operators repeat the same layout.

    Protéger la charge utile

    Review separators and pressure points around cartons, flacons, plateaux, bouteilles, et étiquettes.

    Conditioning and reuse

    Design the operating routine together with the PCM

    A good sample can still fail in daily use when a brick is only partly conditioned, staged too long, placed in the wrong slot, or returned without inspection.

    Before conditioning

    Identify the right PCM set

    Use a part number, couleur, étiquette, phase-point reference, and quantity list so different coolant families are not mixed.

    Conditionnement

    Préparer chaque unité de façon constante

    Define equipment, modèle de chargement, température de conditionnement, minimum time, limite de mise en scène, and readiness check.

    Emballage

    Place and record the array

    Use numbered positions, séparateurs, a pack diagram, and logger locations that match the sample or approved assembly.

    Return and reuse

    Faire le ménage, inspecter, and retire

    Vérifier les fuites, cap or weld integrity, déformation, contamination, étiquettes, and missing units before reconditioning.

    Choose your custom options

    Qualification reference: Healthcare and vaccine projects should follow the product owner’s quality requirements and applicable transport procedures. WHO/PQS recognizes PCM packs as coolant packs with phase-change temperatures other than 0°C, alors que Ista 7e provides a framework for evaluating thermal transport packaging against external temperature exposure.

    Questions before sampling

    FAQ packs PCM et blocs réfrigérants sur mesure

    Is the coldest PCM always the safest choice?

    Non. A colder phase point can increase direct-contact or freezing risk for sensitive products. Select the PCM against the approved product limits, condition de départ, isolation, itinéraire, and separation, then test the complete packout.

    Can the PCM phase point be customized?

    Project-specific PCM options may be discussed, but the requested phase behavior, compatibilité, méthode de conditionnement, quantité, and documentation must be reviewed before samples or bulk supply are approved.

    Should we choose a rigid ice brick or a flexible PCM pouch?

    Rigid bricks suit fixed, reusable layouts and easy cleaning. Flexible pouches fit narrow spaces and irregular payloads. The right choice depends on chamber dimensions, pressure points, réutilisation, et flux de travail d'emballage.

    How many PCM bricks are needed?

    There is no reliable universal number. Quantity depends on payload mass, température de départ, shipper performance, unit phase behavior, profil ambiant, durée de l'itinéraire, placement, et condition d'arrivée acceptable.

    Do PCM packs need conditioning instructions?

    Oui. The approved packout should state conditioning equipment, température, minimum time, limite de mise en scène, contrôle de préparation, number of units, orientation, and placement sequence.

    Can used ice bricks be returned and reused?

    They can support a reusable program when the return loop includes cleaning, inspection, inventaire, reconditioning, and retirement criteria for leaking, deformed, contaminé, or unidentifiable units.
