How-To-Freeze-Thermogard-Gel-Ice-Packs

1.Definition of Gel Ice Packs

Gel ice packs are a type of biologically synthesized high-energy storage ice, an upgraded version of ordinary ice packs. Compared to ordinary ice packs, they have increased cold storage capacity and release cold more evenly, effectively extending the cooling duration. In their normal state, gel ice packs are transparent gel blocks resembling jelly. During the freezing energy storage process, they do not easily deform or bulge, maintaining good regularity. There is no risk of leaking and contaminating low-temperature items. Even if the packaging is completely damaged, the gel remains in its jelly-like state, not flowing or leaking, and will not soak low-temperature pharmaceuticals.

2.Usage Scenarios and Freezing of Gel Ice Packs

The usage method of gel ice packs is the same as that of ordinary ice packs. First, place the gel ice pack in a low-temperature environment to freeze it completely. Then, take out the gel ice pack and place it in a sealed insulation box or insulation bag along with the items to be shipped. (Note: The ice pack itself is not cold and needs to be frozen before it can be effective in keeping things cool!)

2.1 How to Freeze Gel Ice Packs for Home Use
For home use, you can place the gel ice pack flat in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator. Freeze it thoroughly for more than 12 hours until it becomes completely solid (when pressed by hand, the ice pack should not deform). Only then can it be used for cold chain packaging and transportation of food or pharmaceuticals.

2.2 How to Freeze Gel Ice Packs at Distribution Points

For use at distribution points, gel ice packs can be frozen by placing entire boxes of them in a horizontal freezer. They need to be thoroughly frozen for more than 14 days until they become completely solid (when pressed by hand, the ice pack should not deform). Only then can they be used for cold chain packaging and transportation of food or pharmaceuticals.

To speed up the freezing process, you can reduce the quantity being frozen and lay the gel ice packs flat in the freezer. Freeze them thoroughly for more than 12 hours until they become completely solid (when pressed by hand, the ice pack should not deform). Alternatively, gel ice packs can be transferred to special freezing racks for ice packs and ice boxes, placed in the freezer, and frozen thoroughly for more than 10 hours until they become completely solid (when pressed by hand, the ice pack should not deform).

2.3 How to Freeze Ice Packs at Terminal Warehouses

For use in large terminal warehouses, gel ice packs can be packaged in perforated cardboard boxes and placed on pallets for freezing in a cold storage room with a temperature below -10°C. This method ensures that the gel ice packs will be completely frozen in 25 to 30 days. Alternatively, perforated plastic turnover boxes can be used to package the gel ice packs, and placed on pallets in the cold storage room with a temperature below -10°C. This method ensures that the gel ice packs will be completely frozen in 17 to 22 days.

Additionally, a low-temperature quick-freezing room can be used to freeze gel ice packs. These rooms have lower temperatures and higher cooling capacity, typically between -35°C and -28°C. In a low-temperature quick-freezing room, gel ice packs packaged in perforated cardboard boxes can be completely frozen in just 7 days, and those packaged in perforated plastic turnover boxes can be completely frozen in just 5 days.

Shanghai Huizhou Industrial Co., Ltd. has optimized these freezing methods and achieved significant results: In a cold storage room with a temperature below -10°C, gel ice packs packaged in perforated cardboard boxes can be completely frozen in just 4 days, and those packaged in perforated plastic turnover boxes can be completely frozen in just 3 days. In a low-temperature quick-freezing room with temperatures between -35°C and -28°C, gel ice packs packaged in perforated cardboard boxes can be completely frozen in just 16 hours, and those packaged in perforated plastic turnover boxes can be completely frozen in just 14 hours.

III. Importance of Temperature Control

3.1 Food Temperature Control

3.1.1 Food Quality and Safety
1. Temperature control is crucial for maintaining food quality and ensuring consumer health. Temperature fluctuations can lead to microbial growth, accelerated chemical reactions, and physical changes, affecting food safety and taste.
2. Implementing temperature control management during food retail logistics can effectively reduce the risk of food contamination. Proper storage and transportation conditions help inhibit the growth of bacteria and other harmful organisms, ensuring stable food quality. (Refrigerated food must be kept below 5°C, and cooked food must be kept above 60°C before consumption. When the temperature is kept below 5°C or above 60°C, the growth and reproduction of microorganisms slow down or stop, effectively preventing food spoilage. The temperature range of 5°C to 60°C is the danger zone for food storage. Cooked food stored at room temperature, especially in hot summer weather, should not be left out for more than 2 hours; even when stored in the refrigerator, it should not be kept for too long. Before consumption, reheating is necessary to ensure the food center temperature reaches above 70°C, with adequate heating time depending on the size, heat transfer properties, and initial temperature of the food to achieve thorough sterilization.)

3.1.2 Reducing Waste and Lowering Costs
1. Effective temperature control management can reduce losses and waste caused by food spoilage and damage. By monitoring and adjusting temperatures, the shelf life of food can be extended, reducing returns and losses, and improving supply chain efficiency.
2. Implementing temperature control management can lower operating costs. By optimizing energy consumption during storage and transportation and reducing potential issues such as refrigerant leaks, sustainable logistics goals can be achieved.

3.1.3 Regulatory Requirements and Compliance
1. Many countries and regions have strict temperature control regulations for food storage and transportation. Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to legal disputes, economic losses, and damage to the company’s reputation.
2. Food retail companies need to follow international and domestic standards, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), to ensure food safety and quality.

3.1.4 Customer Satisfaction and Brand Reputation
1. Consumers are increasingly demanding fresh and safe food. High-quality temperature control management can ensure the quality and taste of food during distribution, enhancing customer satisfaction.
2. Providing consistently high-quality products helps build and maintain a good brand image, enhances market competitiveness, and attracts more loyal customers.

3.1.5 Market Competitive Advantage
1. In the highly competitive food retail industry, an efficient temperature control management system is a key differentiator. Companies with excellent temperature control capabilities can provide more reliable services and meet customer needs.
2. Temperature control management is also a significant way for food retailers to showcase their technological innovation and sustainable development, establishing a competitive advantage in the market.

3.2 Pharmaceutical Temperature Control

Pharmaceuticals are special products, and their optimal temperature range directly affects people’s safety. During production, transportation, and storage, temperature significantly impacts the quality of pharmaceuticals. Inadequate storage and transportation, especially for refrigerated medicines, can lead to reduced efficacy, spoilage, or increased toxic side effects.

For example, storage temperature affects pharmaceutical quality in several ways. High temperatures can affect volatile components, while low temperatures can cause some pharmaceuticals to spoil, such as emulsions freezing and losing their emulsifying capacity after thawing. Temperature changes can alter the properties of pharmaceuticals, affecting oxidation, decomposition, hydrolysis, and the growth of parasites and microorganisms.

The storage temperature greatly influences the quality of pharmaceuticals. High or low temperatures can cause fundamental changes in pharmaceutical quality. For instance, injection solutions and water-soluble drugs can crack if stored below 0°C. Different pharmaceutical states change with temperature, and maintaining optimal temperature conditions is essential for quality assurance.

The impact of storage temperature on the shelf life of pharmaceuticals is significant. The shelf life refers to the period during which the pharmaceutical quality remains relatively stable under specific storage conditions. According to an approximate formula, raising the storage temperature by 10°C increases the chemical reaction speed by 3-5 times, and if the storage temperature is 10°C higher than the specified condition, the shelf life reduces by 1/4 to 1/2. This is particularly critical for less stable drugs, which may lose efficacy or become toxic, endangering users’ safety.

IV. Real-Time Temperature Control and Adjustment in Cold Chain Transport

In food and pharmaceutical cold chain transport, refrigerated trucks and insulated boxes are commonly used. For large orders, refrigerated trucks are generally chosen to reduce transport costs. For smaller orders, insulated box transport is preferable, offering flexibility for air, rail, and road transport.

– Refrigerated Trucks: These use active cooling, with refrigeration units installed to regulate the temperature inside the truck.
– Insulated Boxes: These use passive cooling, with refrigerants inside the boxes to absorb and release heat, maintaining temperature control.

By selecting the appropriate transport method and maintaining real-time temperature control, companies can ensure the safety and quality of their products during cold chain logistics.

WATER PACKS VERSUS GEL PACKS HOW DO THEY COMPARE

Maintaining the appropriate temperature of items is essential during cold-chain transport and storage. There are a variety of cooling and insulation products on the market, of which water bags and gel bags are the two most common cooling media. This paper will compare the characteristics, application scenarios, advantages and disadvantages and their applicability

in different temperature ranges in detail, and introduce the ice bag products provided by our company and their application scenarios and temperature zone.

1. Materials and structures
Water ice bag: water ice bag is mainly composed of plastic bags and water or salt water. Use the water into the plastic bag, then sealed and frozen. The frozen water bags become hard ice cubes, providing lasting low temperatures for items that need to be cooled. This simple structure makes water-injected ice packs cheaper to produce and very convenient to use.
Gel bag: The gel bag is filled with a special gel substance made of sodium polyacrylate, ethylene glycol and other ingredients. The gel bag remains soft after freezing and has a complex design to provide cooling over a wider range of temperatures. Gel bags are usually made of durable plastic or textile materials

to ensure no leakage during freezing and thawing.

2. Temperature control capability
Inilled ice packs: injection ice packs are suitable for cooling requirements below 0℃. Do well in low temperature conditions, can maintain low temperature state for a long time, suitable for long time transportation and storage of items that need to be frozen. Due to the large specific heat capacity of water, the water injection ice bag can provide a stable and lasting cooling effect after freezing.
Gel bag: The gel bag can be controlled in a temperature range from 0℃ to 15℃ by adjusting the internal gel composition. Even after thawing, the gel bag can still maintain a certain cooling effect, which is suitable for items that have low

temperature requirements but need stable cooling for a long time. The temperature control ability of the gel bag is more flexible and can be adjusted according to the specific requirements.

3. Flexibility and application scenarios
Water injected ice packs: Frozen water injected ice packs become hard and have poor flexibility, which are suitable for scenes that do not need accurate fitting, such as food transportation and medical supplies transportation. Due to the large weight after filling with water, the transportation cost is relatively high. In addition, the hardness of water-injected ice packs may cause inconvenience in some applications, but its cooling effect is powerful and suitable for long-term low temperature requirements.
Gel bag: The gel bag remains soft even when freezing and is suitable for items that require a tight fit, such as drug transportation and cold wound compress. The gel bag is lighter, easy to carry and use, and has a wider range of applications. Its softness makes it more protective during transport, especially those that are temperature-sensitive and require smooth transport.
