Case Study
Reusing materials and keeping product integrity
A National Pharmaceutical Distribution Company needed to ship their products nationwide at 2-8 degrees C for up to 120 hours to meet manufacturing guidelines. Their product ships from their 3 main distribution to 8 secondary distribution hubs and finally to retail pharmacies. The customer specified that their existing reusable system be used to keep the costs to a minimum.
Cryopak Engineers went to work to simulate the worst case temperature scenario. The products being shipped could experience up to 40 degrees C in a departure city in Southern California and see -20 degrees C in the arrival city in Utah or Colorado.
We built a system that would tolerate up to 60 degree C ambient temperature variations while maintaining the product at 2-8 degrees C. Our solution was a system that included 0 degree phase change and EPS insulation profiled to reduce air flow and maximize space in the customer's existing plastic tote at a minimal cost.
Within 2 months, the customer was in business nationwide their product, helping the environment and their pocketbook at the same time.
