Insulated Transport Ice Box ITB-003

Description

1. Product Overview
   Insulated Transport Ice Box ITB-003 is a heavy-duty, thermally engineered transport container designed for secure cold-chain movement of temperature-sensitive industrial and laboratory goods. Its primary industrial use is safeguarding perishable materials—biologicals, specialty chemicals, reagents, and temperature-critical parts—during transit across multi-modal supply chains. The ITB-003 delivers predictable thermal performance, robust mechanical protection, and compliance-ready packaging that together reduce spoilage, regulatory risk, and handling losses. Strategically, it enables buyers to extend reach into distant markets, streamline returns/recalls, and lower overall cold-chain cost-per-shipment.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Materials: Outer shell—high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with galvanized steel frame; inner liner—food-/chemical-grade polypropylene (PP) with closed-cell polyurethane (PUR) foam insulation core.

• Insulation performance: Closed-cell PUR foam, nominal density 40 kg/m³, thermal conductivity λ ≈ 0.025 W/m·K (typical).

• Temperature retention: Designed for passive temperature maintenance with validated hold-times of up to 72 hours at ambient +25°C using standard eutectic or gel inserts (performance varies by payload and pre-conditioning).

• Physical dimensions (nominal): External 1,200 × 800 × 800 mm; internal usable volume ≈ 0.65 m³.

• Tare weight: 65–75 kg (model and accessories dependent).

• Mechanical ratings: Stackable up to 4 units when empty, drop-tested to 1.2 m, IP54 splash resistance for outer shell.

• Compatibility: Accepts standard gel packs, eutectic plates, dry ice containment with specified liners, and ISO-compatible pallet and strapping systems.

• Chemical resistance: Inner liner resistant to common reagents and solvents (consult SDS for specific chemicals).

• Certification & testing: Factory thermal validation reports available; can be supplied with third-party thermal mapping and ISTA-compliant test documentation upon request.

• Packaging options: Single unit on pallet (standard), 2-up nested for return logistics, or custom crated sets for multi-unit shipments.

• Shelf life & maintenance: Solid-state construction—no shelf-life limit; recommended inspection and gasket replacement every 12 months under heavy use.

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Pharmaceutical & biotech logistics: Controlled transport of vials, reagents, and clinical trial materials where passive temperature stability and compliant documentation reduce product loss and regulatory exposure.

• Specialty chemicals & catalysts: Transit of moisture- or temperature-sensitive intermediates and catalysts that require mechanical protection plus thermal buffering to preserve activity.

• Food ingredients & flavor industries: Short-duration shipments of high-value perishable ingredients to processing sites or test kitchens.

• Electronics & precision components: Protection of hygroscopic or temperature-vulnerable components during inter-facility transfer.
  Operational use cases:

• Short- to medium-haul shipments (local to 72-hour international legs) where refrigerated vehicles aren’t available or cost-effective.

• Multi-modal transfers that require rugged packaging through air, road, and sea with minimal handling risk.

• Emergency response and sample transportation for clinical labs, where reliability and fast deployment are critical.
  Why it outperforms alternatives:

• Higher insulation R-value per unit thickness due to closed-cell PUR core, delivering longer hold times with smaller payload mass.

• Integrated molded liner and reinforced frame reduce damage risk versus soft-sided or thin-shell boxes.

• Modular compatibility with standard cooling inserts and containerized pallet systems improves operational efficiency and reduces handling time.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Factory-controlled molding and foam injection processes deliver repeatable thermal and mechanical performance across production lots.

• Supply reliability: Scalable production with regional stocking options and defined lead times to support repeat B2B purchasing and seasonal demand.

• Logistics capability: Designed to maximize container and pallet utilization; stackable geometry and returnable nested configurations lower freight and reverse-logistics costs.

• Price competitiveness: Lower total landed cost when factoring reduced product loss, simplified cold-chain needs, and extended re-use life versus single-use solutions.

• Sustainability: Durable, long-life construction reduces single-use packaging waste; components are designed for repair and extended service life. Recyclable HDPE/PP shells and options for take-back programs available.

• Technical support & documentation: Comprehensive support package including thermal validation reports, handling guides, SDS compatibility notes, and on-request third-party test certificates to expedite supplier qualification.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT.

• Loading capacity: Typical loading capacity per 20-foot container (max gross and pallet arrangement dependent): 8–10 MT; per 40-foot container: 20–22 MT. For planning purposes, assume approximately 20 MT per 40-ft HC container.

• Packaging for shipment: Units palletized, shrink-wrapped, and secured with anti-shift bracing; custom crating available for high-value or export shipments.
