Ice Box Coolers: Cold Chain Temp Control
Why Temperature Control Matters in Cold Chains In the world of cold chain logistics, where perishable goods—from fresh milk to life-saving vaccines—travel thousands of miles, one thing is non-negotiable: temperature control. A single degree too warm can spoil a pallet of strawberries; a degree too cold can render vaccines ineffective. Enter ice box coolers—the unsung heroes that keep these goods safe, fresh, and within their ideal temperature range. In this guide, we’ll break down how ice box coolers work, why they’re essential, and why Tempk’s thermocol models are leading the charge. What Are Ice Box Coolers? An ice box cooler is a portable, insulated container designed to lock in cold (or heat, for warm items) and protect perishable goods during transit. Think of it as a “mobile fridge” for logistics—but way sturdier. The star player here is thermocol (expanded polystyrene, or EPS), a lightweight yet super-insulating material that traps air bubbles, slowing heat transfer between the inside and outside of...
