Refrigerated container delivery from China

WHITE EAGLE HONG-KONG LTD company offers the option of cargo delivery in the refrigerated containers (also called ocean refrigerated containers, cooling containers, congealing containers) of the most common and popular types, such as Carrier, ThermoKing, Sabroe, Paul Clinge.

Refrigerated containers

Refrigerated containers are perfectly suitable for storage of meat, fish, ice cream, berries, fruits and other food articles that are sensitive to the temperature conditions.

Please familiarize yourself with the Rules of cargo transportation in the refrigerated containers.

Refrigerated containers have a thermally insulated structure made from a foamy polyurethane and have a refrigerating unit that maintains the temperature inside the refrigerated container between –25°С (–13°F) and +25°С (+77°F).

Currently refrigerated containers are primarily made by several main companies:

  • Carrier Transicold Ltd – CARRIER refrigerated containers;
  • Thermoкing Corporation – THERMOKING refrigerated containers;
  • Sabroe Reefer Cool – SABROE refrigerated containers.

Design and mode of functioning of the refrigerated containers

Design of the refrigerated container

Refrigerated containers have two main constructional units: the body frame and the refrigerating unit. The body of the refrigerated container consists of the carrying structure and sandwiched panels from foamed polyurethane with the external layer made from duraluminum coating (2.00 mm thick) and the inside layer made from the shaped sheets of food-grade stainless steel (0.6 mm thick). The floor of the refrigerated container is made from the aluminum shape, which is durable enough to be handled by the ordinary warehouse forklift.

The doors are made from the same foamed polyurethane sandwiched panes as a body of the container, and feature special locks that insure the air-tight closure of the cargo part of the container.

The function of refrigerating unit, located in the end plane of the container body, is to keep the temperature inside the container in the automatic mode, ranging from –25°С (–13°F) to +25°С (+77°F). It uses the energy of the 3-phase electrical network, with the voltage of 360/460 V and frequency of 50 Hz.

The electronic control unit allows to set and maintain the following options in the automatic mode: temperature, humidity, set up periodic thawing cycles, control the performance of the major components, and fix the malfunctions. Currently, refrigerated units of the containers use the following cooling agents during the normal operations ("freon gas") "R134а", "R409а", "R401а".

Principles of operation of the refrigerated container

The flow of air of a certain temperature is supplied from the refrigerating unit into the container, at the floor level. It then goes along the T-shaped profiles of the floor. It rises along the walls to the ceiling at the other end of the container, and returns to the refrigerated unit, by going along the ceiling. During the circulation the air, depending on the preset mode, heats or cools the internal space inside the refrigerated container, thus providing the temperature and humidity desired for the ideal preservation of goods.


Important!

IMPORTANT!

Nowadays in China there are hundreds and thousands of companies that produce a wide range of goods. If you are unsure about which particular item (manufacturer, model) you are interested in, use any of the search databases of the Chinese goods (Alibaba, EC21, Made-in-China, Global Sources, Baidu). It is absolutely free. The links to these catalogues allow to search for any needed information that is provided in English. Baidu catalogue is translated into English by Google Translate service.

After locating the goods or the product you would need to send these links to your managers with the detailed instructions (about what we would need to do or find out, which questions we would need to find the answers to, the specific information about the goods).

We can also find for you the required goods and an appropriate manufacturer by performing the search from our offices in China, as an alternative to using the internet search systems. The search and the selection of goods by the Chinese managers, performed out of China, is a paid service.

If you already know which product from China you are interested in, or you have a freight shipment that you would need to calculate and send - please fill out the form with the detailed description of the product or the detailed information about the freight.

Note.
To calculate the cost of delivery and customs clearance we would need the following information:

  • The location of the factory, market or the store.
  • The name of the product and its detailed description (photo is recommended).
  • The invoice amount.
  • The weight of the product (gross).
  • The volume.
  • Was the freight paid for? If so, on which conditions?
