  • Shipping Containers New or Once Used?

    November 29, 2012 - CS Shipping Containers

    Most new shipping containers are in fact once used.   The reason for this is because they are mostly manufactured in China and, in order to keep costs down, they are shipped over to this country with a load in them.    Once they have been off-loaded and emptied they are ready to be sold as new/once used containers.

  • Chemical Stores – Bunding

    November 13, 2012 - CS Shipping Containers

    All chemical stores are bunded in order to prevent leakage and to contain the chemicals or paint stored within.   But the big question is whether or not to have the collection tank put underneath the floor or for there to be a step over and the floor itself to be the bottom of the tank. [...]

Refrigerated Container Hire

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

Christmas is a very busy time for the hire of Refrigerated Containers.   There is an increased demand for them by supermarkets and small producers in order to store a variety of products from turkeys, brussel sprouts, hams etc etc.   In fact anything that needs to be kept at a consistent temperature in the lead up to the day.

Refrigerated Container

Refrigerated containers (reefers) operate in temperature range of -27C up to +27C and can be kept outside quite happily.   They are available in a variety of sizes from 10ft to 40ft.  The fact that they are easily transportable means that they are often the ideal solution.  The hire cost varies because transport is a key element with the price of the journey to and from the hire site being charged up front.

Unfortunately, all of the above often means that demand outstrips supply and if you are looking to hire a refrigerated container for the festive season you need to do so right away.

Refrigerated Containers – Ambient Temperature Containers

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Refrigerated Containers actually have a temperature range from -27C to +27C.   As such they are often used for so much more than for keeping foodstuff cold and can be called Ambient Temperature Containers.    We have had our containers used for:-

  1. testing how cars cope with being kept in various temperature conditions
  2. controlling the flowering of plants so that they are at their best for the Chelsea Flower Show (adjusting the temperature either to bring the plants on or hold them back)
  3. making sure wood does not shrink too quickly
  4. keeping pharmaceuticals at a controlled temperature for hospitals

to name but a few uses.  In fact storing anything for which the temperature needs to be controlled.

One of the most surprising uses to us was the conserving of artefacts by museums and stately homes.   They use them to control pests (such as carpet moth etc) by manipulating the temperature cycles to kill of both pests and larvae, as well as keeping some more delicate objects within a tight temperature range.   These processes often use the full range of temperature available wihin the container – Ambient Temperature Containers indeed!!

We also have quite a few customers who are interested in just the shell of the refrigerated container itself due to its heavy insulation.  They are in popular demand for storage of furniture etc.   Unfortunately in today’s market there are not many decent non-working refrigerated containers about as it proves more economic to repair or replace the machinery.   And other insulation/condensation methods are available to make standard shipping containers up to the task.

I think in light of the above you will agree that Refrigerated Containers can often be misleading name for what is a very versatile container indeed.

Refrigerated Containers – A shipping container for all temperatures

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

We have had quite a few enquiries recently about “chillers” or containers that are able to maintain a temperature above freezing.   Refrigerated Containers - despite the name – are able to do all of this.   In fact they are able to be set between -25C and +25C and with their superior insulation they are ideal for freezing, chilling and keeping products at a consistent temperature.  The most common sizes are 20ft, 40ft and 10ft 

New 20ft Refrigerated Container

 

The most common type of refrigerated shipping container have an integral refrigeration unit which controls the temperature within the container. Originally designed to be used on ship they normally operate using a 3-phase electrical supply- although it is possible, normally at additional cost, to convert the reefer to work on single phase. New or second hand refrigerated containers are now used more and more on land.   The most common purchasers are butchers, farmers, mushroom growers, plant nurseries, hospitals, paint and print suppliers etc. but we have also supplied to car manufacturers who use the temperature controlled unit to test their cars.

There is a growing market too for refrigerated containers that no longer have working refrigeration units in them.  This is because the insulation in the units is so effective and often works out cheaper than having a shipping container lined from scratch.

Refrigerated Containers – An Overview

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Refrigerated containers are actually shipping containers that are able to control temperature and thus allow all sorts of differentproducts (food, chemicals, paint etc) to travel across the world. The”refrigerated container” name can be abit misleading as actually the temperature can be controlledwithin a range of -25C to +25C depending on the product requirements. Sometimes they are referred to as reefer containers or ambient temperature containers. Whatever you call them they come in sizes 10ft, 20ft and 40ft.

New 20ft Refrigerated Container

The most common type of refrigerated containerare those which have an integral refrigeration unit which controls the temperature within the refrigerated shipping container. When on ship they are connected to the ships power supply and when on land they normally operate using a 3-phase electrical supply- although it is possible, normally at additional cost, to convert the reefer to work on single phase.New or second handrefrigerated containersare very useful for the domestic market. They are often used by butchers, farmers, mushroom growers, plant nurseries, hospitals, paint and print suppliers etc. Whatever they are used for it is important to load the container properly so that they can maintain temperature efficiently.

The air is the cooled/heated to the required temperature in the condenser unit and then blown into the container. In reefer containers the air flows through the container from bottom to top. Often they have a “t-bar” floor so that the air can move underneath the product. There is also a maximum load height marked on the side walls which allows the air to circulate over the product. The temperature inside the refrigerated shipping container is displayed on an external control unit so that it can be checked at any time.

Some refrigerated containers are also able to control humidity and some allow a controlled fresh air exchange through venting – particularly useful if they are transporting fruit as they can remove CO2 and ethylene.

When purchasing a second hand refrigerated container it is important to get it from a reliable supplier.The second hand container will then be refurbished and have a PTI (Pre Trip Inspection) by a qualified refrigeration engineer. They should be guaranteed for 3 months. In this way you can ensure that the quality of the unit you purchase is good and that you will have a machine capable of doing the job.

There are also the porthole containers which are insulated containers. They do not have an integral refrigeration unit and rely on a central cooling system on clip oncondenser units. As such the internal volume of the container is larger. In the domestic second hand units porthole containers, or indeedold refrigerated containersthat haveno viable condenser unit, are used asinsulated storage due to the thickness of the walls.

Refrigerated Containers – Usage and Dimensions

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Refrigerated Containers, sometimes known as Reefer Containers, are suitable for the transportation and storage of temperature sensitive products such as food or chemicals. Whether it is for additional storage space temporarily because of a large order, or as a permanent and safe Cold Storage Container, Refrigerated Shipping Containers can provide a solution. The steel exterior, together with lockbox and hardened steel padlock, offer security from unauthorised access.

Refrigerated Containers are available for both chilled and frozen usage with a temperature range of -25C to +25C. This makes them extremely versatile and capable of storing a variety of items such as fresh produce (chill controlled), ice cream (hard frozen) as well as explosives and chemicals (temperature controlled).
There arevarious grades of Refrigerated Container from static storage —œ usually requiring a 3-phase power supply although some have been converted to run on standard 240V single phase power if required —œ to CSC plated Refrigerated Freight Containers for shipping. All Cold Storage Containersshould be guaranteed to be in a condition that is consistent with current food hygiene standards.

Refrigerated Container Hire at Christmas

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Like most shipping containers, refrigerated containers are available for hire. Christmas time with many suppliers needing additional storage is the most popular time period for refrigerated container hire. Perhaps this is not surprising given all the traditional goodies from turkeys to cheese, smoked salmon to luxury icecreams that we eat during the holiday period. Supermarkets and small producers in keeping up with this demand, hire the refrigerated containers between October to January just to fill orders.

Refrigerated containers are ideal as they are easily transportable and can be set at any temperature between -20C to +20C. Most require 3 phase electricity although they can be run off diesel fuelled generators or “gen-sets”. The most common sizes are 20ft and 40ft containers.

For those who have never hired a refrigerated container before there are a few important points to remember.

  • The length of the hire has an impact on the weekly rental cost of the container itself – normally there is a minimum hire period of at least 4 weeks – with the longer the period of hire being the most economic. This is partly due to the fact that the refrigerated container itself needs a pre-trip inspection (PTI) by a refrigeration engineer which ensures that the container itself will be in good running condition prior to being delivered.
  • Haulage. Most hires require that the cost of the haulage from the depot to the delivery site as well as the cost of the haulage back from the delivery site to the depot is paid in advance. This acts as a guarantee that should the customer default on payment the container can be collected.
  • Breakdown. In case of the unit failing, breakdown cover should be provided as part of the hire contract. The speed of this is important as you don’t want to be left with a whole load of frozen turkeys defrosting at the beginning of December.

For those of you considering hiring a refrigerated container for Christmas it would be a good idea to start looking for a company to supply this now if you have not done so already. Many companies have already hired out most of their containers and may therefore be unable to help.

10ft Refrigerated Containers

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
10ft refrigerated containers (reefer) are normally exclusively built for the domestic market.They are available both second hand and new. Most 10ft refrigerated containersrun off a single phase power supply which makes them ideal for a wide variety of uses.It is, however, possible to get 10fts that utilise a 3 phase supply although these are not as readily available. The 10ft refrigerated containersnormally have a solid checker plate rather than a t-bar floor.
There are many additions that you may wish to consider when buying a 10ft refrigerated container such as butchers doors, lighting, curtains, alarms etc. All can be added as per the customer’s requirements.

If you are considering buying a 10ft refrigerated container the following facts may be useful:-

INTERIOR

Length 245cm Width 224cm Height 222cm

Cubic Capacity 13 cu m

Door opening width 224cm Door opening height 218cm

Tare weight 1500kgs Max gross weight 15000kgs

Pallet capacity 5 to 6 depending on type

EXTERIOR

Length 300cm Width 243cm Height 259cm

The downside of 10ft containers is that they are normally more expensive than the more widely available 20ft and 40ft containers as they are not built in such numbers and do not have such a demand in the commercial marketplace.

Refrigerated Containers – Three Phase and Single Phase Power Requirements

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Most refrigerated containers (reefers)sometimes known asambient temperature containers, need a 3 phase power supply to run effectively. This is often found on farms, industrial estates as standard but not in normally in a domestic setting. Most suppliers of refrigerated containers will have the capability of commissioning the container on the customer’s site. However, sometimes, a engineer known to the customer personally might be called in.

It is important to be able togive the following information:-

  • The power requirements for 3 phase are 380/440VAc with a current rating of 32 amp.
  • The circuitshould beprotected by an RCD (Residual Current Device) with a leakage trip level of 30mA
  • Thesocketshould suit a 5 Pin Ceeform 32A conforming to BS4343
  • A minimum of 8m of cable should be supplied for a 20ft unit and 10m of cable for a 40ft unit

New Refrigerated Containers

Often customers ask for single phase powered refrigerated containers. The most common size found for this is 10ft. However it is important to note that the 10ft refrigerated containers are often more expensive than a 20ft or even a 40ft. This is because it is not a size commonly used in shipping and any 10ft containers are normally purposely built for the domestic market.

Whilst 10ft refrigerated containers can chill and freeze using a single phase supply, 20ft and 40ft refrigerated containers often struggle to freeze successfully. This is because in order to become single phase the 3 phase refrigeration units are often taken out and replaced with single phase ones that often do not have the capacity to freeze the cubic meterage of a 20ft or 40ft container. As a result the single phase 20ft or 40ft units are often just referred to as chiller containers.

If a 3 phase supply is not (or even no electricity supply at all) available on site but a freezing capacity is still required clip on generators can often offer a solution. In a future post we will discuss the basic facts of clip on generators and what to look for when purchasing.

Shipping Containers and Festivals

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

How on earth can a shipping container be of use at any of the many festivals going on in the UK this Summer? Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is the fact that shipping containers are so easily transportable and adaptable, which has meant that they have been used in a variety of different ways from Glastonbury to the Game Fair.

Perhaps the most obvious way in which they are used is in the form of refrigerated shipping containers. The fact that goods, such as drinks or food can be kept in the temperature controlled environment of a refrigerated container which can be run either from a generator orconnected toan electricity supply means that they are in great demand. They are available for hire or for purchase.

Shipping Container Conversions such as those use to house cashpoints are also extremely popular. As well as containers converted into stands or bars. The coffee shop here is taken round the various festivals in Italy, although there are plans to build some in the UK.

But of course, the most common use is as storage containers. Keeping stock secureyet easily accessible is vital both when travelling or when the stand at the festival is set up when the container becomes a store room.

These are just some of the ways in which you might see a shipping container used should you visit a Festival this year. Let us know if you see any more – and send us a photograph!

Refrigerated Containers – FAQ Part 2

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

So, carrying on from the questions we answered yesterday on refrigerated containers, we have the more technical aspect here. A big thanks to Kev for getting these through to us in a way that we had a chance of understanding.

What power does a refrigerated container require?
Most marine units run on 3 phase electricity. The actual requirements depend on the type of machine i.e. Carrier, Thermoking, Daikin, Misubishi, Zanotti etc., the ambient temperature, set point of the machine and the product placed inside. But to give an idea based on a Carrier machine set to chill in this country it would require 40/60 amps per phase on start up and on running will pull between 10/15 amps.
I don’t have a 3 phase electricity supply; can I still run my refrigerated container?
Some refrigerated shipping containers have been adapted to run from the single phase domestic electricity supply. These are normally more expensive than the 3 phase models due to the additional work involved in converting them. Alternatively, all refrigerated containers can be run off diesel powered gen-sets which clip onto the front of the machine.

What length is a cable on a refrigerated container?
On average the length of cable is 18 metres but this varies depending on the type of machine.

How often should I service my refrigerated container?

Every 6 months is recommended although this does depend on where the refrigerated shipping container is sited. In a very dirty or dusty environment if not cleaned out regularly it will affect the operation of the unit and so a much more frequent servicing programme is recommended.

Hope you now know everything you need to know about refrigerated units – and I suspect many of you will know much more than you ever thought possible – so that tomorrow we can return to less technical stuff!

Refrigerated Containers – How they help with your cooking

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We mostly think of refrigerated containers as being purely commercial and of no interest to us cooking at home. It is true, of course, that most of us will not have a 20ft or 40ft refrigerated shipping container sitting in our garden waiting for us to put our shopping in! But in all likelihood many of the fresh ingredients that we buy have probably been in a refrigerated container before we ever get them home.

It isn’t fashionable now to admit that your ingredients have not all been sourced locally or been grown in your allotment or back garden. Truth is most of the food we eat has travelled from various parts of the country or, indeed, various parts of the world. Whether our lamb comes from our local farmer, or fromWales or New Zealand the truth is it has still probably been transported at some point in a refrigerated container.

These industrial containers that we call refrigerated containers, work by keeping their contents at adifferent temperature than the surrounding environment. Sometimes this involves the temperature being set at higher than that outside -which, if you think about it, means that calling them “refrigerated containers” could be inappropriate!In fact the range that these so calledrefrigerated containers can be set at isbetween -20C and +20C.This gives the opportunity to store a whole range of different products. After all, different food stuffs will require differenttemperatures for storage. Icecream, for example is going to need to be kept at a much lower temperature than lettuces! Indeed the temperature controlled environment of the refrigerated shipping container means that everything can be kept fresh at the optimum temperature.

So how is all this relevant to you at home and the stuff that you cook with everyday? Shipping containers have bought the price of food down, and have made it possible for it to be transported from all over the world. The majority of our food travels at some point by sea, road or train. The standard size of a shipping container is 20ft or 40ft and it is these verysizes of shipping containers, refrigerated or otherwise, which has brought down the price of transportation considerably. The fact thatstandard shipping containers are either20ft or 40ft meansthat handling of all the containers could be done simply rather than using a variety of different machinery and lots of man power thus saving money.

So next time you are on the road travelling to the shops and pass a lorry taking food to the supermarket or to your local greengrocer you know exactly why that refrigerated container you have just overtaken has helped you with the meals you are planning to prepare.

Refrigerated Containers

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Refrigerated Containers, sometimes known as reefer containers, are shipping containers designed to hold goods in a temperature controlled environment. This can be set anywhere between -20C to +20C. As such a refrigerated container is suitable for a variety of goods ranging from fresh produce (chill controlled), ice cream (hard frozen) to explosives and chemicals (temperature controlled). All controllers on refrigerated containers have a display that will show the set point and running temperature.

It is important to site a refrigerated container on level hard standing. The weight of the container’s insulated doors mean that unless the unit is sited correctly the doors are likely to be hard to open and may even get a build up of ice behind the door seals, effectively freezing them shut.

A refrigerated shipping container is designed to maintain the temperature of the goods placed inside rather than to blast freeze them. For maximum efficiency the products should be stacked a foot away from the front panel (which is the end opposite the doors!) and be a foot below the ceiling for maximum efficiency. This allows the airflow to pass under the product (through the t-bar flooring) and up by the doors, before passing over the top and back down again. Refrigerated containers are designed to maintain the temperature of the goods placed inside rather than to blast freeze them.

Most reefer containers normally have a Partlow to record the temperature that the unit is running at. Some controllers even have the facility to download information via a laptop equipped with the appropriate software programme. It is also possible to attach a system which, should the unit drop below the set temperature, a call is generated to a phone (mobile or land line) by way of warning so an engineer can be called out promptly to fix the problem.

In order to keep the reefer container running efficiently it is a good idea to defrost (remembering that this defrosts the machinery and not the product stored inside) once or twice a day. A service is recommended every 6 months but this does depend on where the unit is sited as dirt/dust will affect the operation of the unit if not cleaned out regularly. For example, if you are putting the refrigerated container in a dusty environment you may need to service your container more regularly in order to stop it from becoming clogged. The servicing interval can also be dependent on the temperature the unit is running at – chill is less work for the machine than freezing for example.

Refrigerated Containers can be adapted in a variety of ways. Lights, internal alarms, emergency stop buttons, butchers or caterers doors are all commonly installed conversions. Solid checker plate flooring is also popular – particularly when the products are going to be store at temperatures above +0C.

Refrigerated Containers – flooring

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

T-bar floors are often thought to be less desirable than checker plate in a refrigerated container. They are considered difficult to walk on and to keep clean and there advantages overlooked. It is important to remember that these containers were designed as shipping containers that could keep cargo in a temperature controlled environment whilst in transit. The original containers came with t-bar floors and there are a number of good reasons for that.

refrigerated container with t-bar floor

refrigerated container with t-bar floor

Truth is t-bar floors have lots of different advantages as far as keeping the contents of the reefer containers chilled or frozen. The main one is how the t-bar floors design helps air flow. The profile of the floor allows for the chilled/frozen air to travel around the container from the refrigeration unit underneath the contents. This means that the unit works to maximum efficiency in terms of economy and effectiveness. Providing the contents are packed so that there is space to the sides and top of the container the air flow can continue to travel round unimpeded.

One criticism that is often levelled at t-bar flooring is that it is difficult to load pallets using anything with wheels! A very simple and cheap solution can be taken by following the example of supermarkets. They lay a piece of plywood onto the floor for the wheels to travel over. It is simply removed when the reefer container is loaded.

Like all containers used for food storage it is important that refrigerated containers can be kept clean. The steel sides and the t-bar floor are the original features and respond well to being jet washed. Unlike checker plate flooring it is difficult for food to stick to a t-bar floor.

Obviously, there are times when a t-bar floor is not going to be the answer. It would not be the best choice for a food preparation area for example. But for the original purpose of a refrigerated container – to keep food chilled or frozen – it is hard to beat.

Refrigerated Containers – FAQ Part 1

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

We have been discussing refrigerated containers on this week’s blog and quite a few of you have rung the office with questions which I thought would be a good idea to answer here.

How is the temperature recorded on a refrigerated shipping container?

On marine units the controller will have a display that will show the set point and the running temperature. If particularly required some units have displays which can also be “downloaded” – whereby you can see a set of parameters over a set period of time although you will need additional equipment in the form of a laptop, specialised software etc. Other units have a Partlowchart (like the taco graph that some lorries have) although it is important should you wish to use them you specify this to your supplier at point of order.

How should a refrigerated shipping container beloaded for maximum efficiency?

The products inside te container should be stacked at least a foot away from the front panel (which is the end opposite the doors!) and at least a foot away from the ceiling. This allows air to flow under the product (through the t-bar flooring) and up by the doors before going over the top of the goods and back down again.

Can I use a refrigerated container to bring things down to temperature?

A refrigerated container is designed to maintain the temperature of the goods placed inside rather than bring the goods down/up to the set point temperature like a blast freezer.

Tomorrow we will deal with some of the more challenging technical questions to do with electricity supply and servicing that some of you seem so keen to know about – our electrician has been relentlessly quizzed and come up with some understandable answers to your questions.
