STORING DAIRY PRODUCTS IN REFRIGERATED CONTAINERS

Many dairy products must be kept at a cool temperature throughout production and distribution. Since there is sometimes a surplus of stock, a reliable source of storage capacities is invaluable. Container-based storage units are perfect for this industry, as they come in a range of different sizes and are mobile and secure.

There are many reasons why businesses in this line of work are increasingly turning to refrigerated containers for short-term and long-term cold storage. Here are some answers to common questions about using refrigerated containers in the dairy industry:

Are Refrigerated Containers Suitable for Storing Milk and Dairy Products?

Spacewise containers are manufactured to a high standard and are well equipped to protect many different perishable goods. Milk and dairy products are among the foodstuffs most sensitive to temperature fluctuation, which is why they require consistent refrigerated storage. Since containers are mobile and can be positioned in a wide range of locations, they are ideal for holding surplus quantities of stock on-site and can extend the effective sales period. Temperatures inside the containers can be very precisely controlled and remain consistent even if the outside temperature suddenly changes. This ensures the continued safety and quality of the dairy products stored inside.

Is it Easy to Load and Unload Refrigerated Containers?

Reefer containers are designed for commercial use, which is why they arrive with a long list of features that help simplify the loading process. A loading ramp made of aluminium allows workers to load and unload produce safely and quickly. Standard worker safety features include internal lights and a man trap panic alarm. Since containers can be placed conveniently on-site, they can be loaded immediately after the products are prepared.

How Cost-effective are Refrigerated Containers?

Leasing reefer containers on a short-term basis to handle the surplus volume of stock during peak seasons is a smart way to optimise your companies expenses.
