Improving Cold Storage Efficiency: The Advantages of ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap
With energy costs in the UK and worldwide reaching new highs, businesses are searching for smarter ways to reduce their costs.
Cold storage facilities are crucial for keeping food & drink products fresh, but they can be expensive to run. Traditional methods of temperature control, on products wrapped in solid pallet wrap or stretch film, can increase time, costs and energy spend.
What if you could reduce this by as much as 50%?
The Role of Cold Storage and Temperature Control:
Companies rely on cold-storage and blast-chilling rooms to drive down, and maintain the temperature of chilled and frozen food and drink products. But it's not just about cooling things down; sometimes, products need to be warmed up too.
However, doing this efficiently can be tricky and costly.
Challenges in Traditional Temperature Control Methods:
Using solid pallet wrap to control or lower temperatures of food and drink products can be inefficient and expensive. It takes a long time for the cold or warm air to reach all of the products on the pallet, which requires using more energy, thus increasing not only costs but the time product has to sit in your production facility. Solid pallet wrap or stretch film creates a barrier for the chilled air.
As a result, temperatures of food and drink products within the pallet can vary, keeping the products at less-than-ideal temperatures, which can pose a risk to quality and food safety.
Introducing ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap:
To tackle these challenges, Excelerate Ltd’s ExcelAir perforated (also known as ventilated, vented, breathable) pallet wrap is the solution. Unlike regular pallet wrap, this unique perforated pallet wrap has large holes that let the temperature-controlled air reach all parts of the products on the pallet much faster, whilst providing equivalent, if often improved load stability.
Benefits of ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap:
Improved Efficiency: ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap speeds up the temperature control process, by as much as 50%, saving time and reducing energy usage. This means businesses can get their products delivered to their customer quicker, freeing up valuable cold storage space and improving the efficiency of production and packing processes.
Cost Savings: By cutting down on energy use, product quality issues and overall efficiency, using ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap can save businesses money. This frees up additional funds for other investments.
Better Product Quality: With ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap, products stay fresher for longer, as they remain at the optimal temperature during transport. This keeps customers satisfied and reduces the risk of products spoiling.
ExcelAir Perforated Pallet Wrap is a simple yet powerful “plug and play” solution to improve cold storage, blast-chilling, temperature control efficiency and product quality.
By making temperature control faster and more cost-effective, it helps businesses save money and keep their products in top condition. Embracing innovations like this is not just good for individual businesses; it's also better for the environment.
