Transport of Highly Temperature-Sensitive Goods

» Responsible for transporting temperature-sensitive goods?
» Tasked with the challenge of providing a fail-safe solution?
» Does your cargo have specific temperature requirements?

Klinge has designed and built rugged and reliable container systems to transport and store extremely temperature-sensitive and highly valuable cargo. Long considered a leader in the transport refrigeration industry, Klinge has a particularly good reputation in the transport of temperature-sensitive, hazardous and highly valuable goods.

Key to this success has been Klinge's line of dual refrigeration systems which have been sold or leased to customers such as Novo Nordisk, DuPont, Eli Lilly, Arkema, and many others. In addition to offering a dual refrigeration system on its containers, Klinge also provides an integral, on-board generator set for emergency power.

KLINGE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS FOR TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE, HAZARDOUS, OR HIGHLY VALUABLE GOODS

PFR-582 NMR-262 NMR-872

PFR-582: Picture Frame Redundant Container System
» Two Refrigeration Units - Primary and Back-up
For cargo not requiring an independent generator set, Klinge has developed a new, cost-efficient, redundant ISO Container System, Model PFR-582, which comes with two primary and backup refrigeration units to ensure a safe transport even if a technical malfunction may occur.
The PFR-582 provides complete protection for temperature-sensitive and highly valuable cargo, yet with its compact design, offers a large cargo area within a 20-foot insulated container. The refrigeration system is just 365 mm deep, making a maximum of space available for cargo. Read more.

NMR-262: Nose-Mount Redundant Container System
» Two Refrigeration Units - Primary and Back-up
» One Generator Set - Back-up
Klinge's Nose Mount Model NMR-262, is the ideal solution for high-value cargo that requires extra protection. The NMR-262 includes two independent primary and backup refrigeration units and back-up generator set. The generator set is is capable of powering the refrigeration unit in case of loss of external power supply or during transport on a truck. Read more.

NMR-872: Nose-Mount Redundant Container System

» Two Generator Sets - Primary and Back-up
For the utmost protection of highly valuable and temperature-sensitive cargo, Klinge designed their Redundant ISO Container System, Model NMR-872, which contains two independent primary and backup refrigeration units as well as generator sets. The generator sets are capable of powering the refrigeration units in case of loss of external power supply or during transport on a truck.
The Systems have been used to transport ice cores which were not permitted to drop below -20°C at any point during their 1.5-month travel from the southern hemisphere, across the equator, and through the southwestern United States. Read more.

CASE STUDY - KLINGE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS FOR ICE CORES

Three Klinge Corporation refrigerated containers made the final leg of an incredible journey more than a year in the making.

The 40’ refrigerated container systems conceptualized by U.S. Antarctic Program support staff and designed by Klinge Corp were entrusted with the transport of several million dollars worth of ice core samples collected from Antarctica.

The success of the mission was a testament to the hardworking and dedicated employees from both companies and to the benefit of having numerous fail-safes in place for such valuable cargo. The Wall Street Journal published an article about the project and discussed the ice core's path from Antarctica to the Colorado lab, including Klinge's role in making sure everything stayed safely frozen.

The project started out with a Statement of Work and request for quote which required a redundant container system for the transport of a product that represented years’ worth of hard work and effort.

“While we knew this product was important, it was not until we met the scientists, National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) employees, and project leaders from RPS that we understood how much had gone into obtaining these samples. From the intense core drilling process at the main arch, to flying the ice to McMurdo Station on the coast of Antarctica, to the coordination of a ship from half way around the world, the importance of these ice cores was never in question,” said Klinge’s Project Manager, Allan Klinge.

This made the procurement of a reliable transport solution back to Los Angeles and from there to NICL in Denver a critical part of the mission. Even more important, the ice cores were not permitted to rise above -20°C at any point during their 1.5-month travel from the southern hemisphere, across the equator, and through the southwestern United States—otherwise, some of the most critical research related to analysis of the gases contained in the cores would not be possible.
