CIMC Yangzhou Base has more than 25 years of design and manufacturing experience for Refrigerated Sea Container, thanks to the big scale and professional PU foaming production line, the reefer containers with high thermal isolation performance.
Refrigerated Sea Container Common Aliases
Refrigerated Sea containers can also be called refrigerated shipping containers, reefer sea containers, freezer sea containers, refrigeration sea containers, freezer shipping containers, refrigeration shipping containers, 20ft reefer, Special reefer containers, etc.
Refrigerated Sea Container Applicable Scene
Vegetable, fruit, and meat transportation and storage, maintain the goods in certain low temperatures.
Features of Refrigerated Sea Container
The biggest feature of Refrigerated Sea Container is effective thermal insulation and high mechanical strength.
In terms of ensuring the thermal insulation of the Refrigerated Sea Container, the material commonly used in the industry is polyurethane foam.
When the density of polyurethane foam is 40kg/m³, its thermal conductivity is the lowest. In the actual production process, to ensure that the polyurethane foam has a particular strength, reduce the void rate and take into account factors such as leakage during foaming, the design density is slightly greater than 40kg/m³.
The wall thickness of the Refrigerated Sea Container is generally between 50-120mm, and the partial wall thickness of refrigerated containers for special purposes can be reduced to 30mm.
Refrigerated Sea Container selection
Refrigerated Sea Container is essential for the transportation and storage of perishable goods/products (such as food and temperature-sensitive medicines).
For the successful delivery of frozen products, it is important to ensure the following:
- Uninterrupted cold chain transportation;
- Appropriate cooling technology;
- Choose the right insulation material, size, and container design.
Different products have different temperature requirements. Therefore, understanding the temperature requirements of each product in the transportation route is equally important for the successful selection of a Refrigerated Sea Container. For example, blood needs to be stored between 2-6°C, drug vaccines must be kept at (-70)-5°C and frozen food must be held at -18°C.
Requirements for using Refrigerated Sea Container
- After the Refrigerated Sea Container is loaded, the original quality of the refrigerated or frozen goods should be checked and stated on the manifest.
- In the process of packing, the principle of loading and stacking should be strictly complied with to avoid unbalanced cooling caused by short-circuiting cold air and reduce the refrigeration efficiency of the Refrigerated Sea Container refrigeration device.
- When the frozen goods are transported over a long distance, the difference between the set temperature in the box and the set temperature cannot exceed 3°C. For the transportation of refrigerated goods, the temperature error should not be greater than 0.5°C, preferably not greater than 0.25°C.
- Refrigerated Sea Container transports fresh fruits, vegetables, etc., and the air vents should be opened in time for ventilation. However, when transport frozen goods, the tuyere should be closed.
- Carton-packed cooling goods should be ventilated in time according to the outdoor temperature and humidity during transportation to keep the air in the box dry and prevent condensation on the outer surface of the box.
Classification of Refrigerated Sea Container
According to the ISO/TC-104, 668 Dimensions and rating standard, Refrigerated Sea Containers can be divided into 10’, 20’, 30’, 40’, 45’according to the length of the container. 30’containers are generally not used, and the most used containers are 20’and 40’in length.
CIMC Yangzhou Base Refrigerated Sea Container Features
- 20’/40’H Refrigerated Sea Container, comply with ISO size, CSC, and Customs’ regulation, suitable for intermodal transportation.
- Refrigerated Sea Container outer panel material is made of muffler grade stainless steel for high-grade protection to get containers long life, light tare weight which can be loaded more cargos, high insulation property.
- Refrigerated Sea Container K value less than 0.4W/m2.K which can save energy, widely used for transportation of fresh fruit, flower, meats, vegetables, medicine, and electrical equipment.




Advantages of refrigeration sea container
- First, they provide a cost-effective solution for transporting perishable goods. Containers can carry a large amount of goods, reducing unit transportation costs.
- Second, reefers have a lower carbon footprint than air or road freight. The use of sea freight reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to more sustainable supply chains.
- Third, it provides a high degree of security for the goods. The containers are sealed and can only be opened at the port of destination, which reduces the risk of theft or tampering.
Application of Refrigerated Sea Containers
- In the food and beverage industry, coolers are used to transport fresh produce, frozen meat, seafood and dairy products. They are also used to transport wine and beer that require a specific temperature range to preserve their taste and quality.
- In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to transport vaccines, medicines and other medical products that require strict temperature control.
- Chemical manufacturers also use it to transport hazardous chemicals that need to be kept within a specific temperature range.
Maintenance and Safety of Refrigerated Sea Containers
In order to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the refrigeration sea container, regular maintenance is required. Refrigeration systems and insulation should be checked and serviced regularly to prevent any failures during transport. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s container handling guidelines to avoid damage to the cargo or the container itself.
In terms of safety, refrigerated sea containers are designed to meet international sea container standards. They go through a rigorous testing and certification process to ensure they can withstand the stress of ocean shipping. However, proper handling procedures must be followed when loading and unloading containers to avoid accidents or injuries.
