1. Precautions for transporting cooked food
1. Temperature control
Cooked food must be kept in the appropriate temperature range during transportation to prevent bacterial growth and food deterioration. Hot food should be kept above 60°C, and cold food should be kept below 4°C.
2. Packaging safety
Ensure that the packaging provides adequate protection against physical damage and contamination of food during transportation.
3. Time management
Minimize the transportation time and ensure that the food arrives at the destination in the best condition.
4. Labeling and identification
Clearly mark the packaging, indicate “perishable items”, “refrigerated / insulated” and “fragile items”, and remind the logistics personnel to handle them carefully.
2. Packaging steps
1. Prepare the materials
-Efficient incubator (comme EPS, PPE, or VIP)
-Condensant medium (e. g. sac de glace en gel, phase change material or water injection ice bag) or heat medium (e. g. thermal insulation stone, hot water bag)
-Leakproof packaging container
-Temperature monitoring equipment
-Foam or bubble cushion
2. Packaged food
Place cooked food in a leak-proof packaging container to ensure that it does not leak during transportation.
3. Use a refrigerant or a hot medium
Use refrigerant or heat medium according to the type of food. Use gel ice packs, phase change materials or water injection ice packs for cold food, and use thermal insulation stone or hot water bags for hot food.
4. Place the temperature monitoring equipment
Place the temperature monitoring equipment in the incubator to monitor the temperature change in the incubator in real time to ensure that the food remains within the appropriate temperature range.
5. Fill in the void
Use foam or bubble pads to fill the gaps in the incubator to prevent the food from moving and shaking during transportation.
6. Sceller l'incubateur
Ensure that the incubator is well sealed and marked on the outside to remind the logistics personnel to handle it carefully.
3. Temperature control method
1. Choose the appropriate thermal insulation material
Use high efficiency insulation materials, comme EPS, EPP or VIP incubator, which have excellent thermal insulation performance and can effectively keep the internal temperature stability.
2. Use the appropriate refrigerant or hot media
Choose the appropriate refrigerant or heat medium according to the type of food to ensure that the whole process remains within the appropriate temperature range. Use gel ice packs, phase change materials or water injection ice packs for cold food, and use thermal insulation stone or hot water bags for hot food.
3. Real-time temperature monitoring
Place the temperature monitoring equipment in the incubator to monitor the temperature change in the incubator in real time to ensure that the temperature is always within the safe range. In case of abnormal temperature, take timely measures to adjust the position of the refrigerant or heat medium or increase the quantity.
