A reefer container is a special container designed to carry temperature-sensitive goods at specified low temperatures. Like a large freezer, it can normally operate at temperatures between -30°C and +30°C. Therefore, you can easily use reefer containers to transport frozen, refrigerated or cryogenic goods.

What are reefer containers used for?

Reefer containers are suitable for carrying cryogenic goods, but they are also widely used for dry cargo transport. Let's take a look at the two uses of reefer containers:

• Meat (frozen and refrigerated)
• seafood
• Fruits and vegetables
• Milk and dairy products
• Preserved food
• Fruit juices and beverages
• Wine and Others

Drugs are also shipped mostly in reefer containers, and pharmaceutical companies lose millions of dollars a year to cold chain breaks, so drugs must be kept strictly cryogenic.

How does a reefer container work?

An internal refrigeration unit delivers cold air through the floor of the refrigerated container, while the T-plate continuously delivers cold air around the cargo, allowing the container to maintain relative humidity and allow the drainage system to drain excess water.
