Phase Change Material solutions are already widely used within the food industry. Think of adding frozen gel packs at -21°C to bridge long transports, but also adding cooling plates to refrigerator shelves in the supermarket to reduce energy consumption.
Phase Change Materials have a validated recipe that makes them a reliable source of cooling or heating. The solidification or melting point of PCM is the temperature that is held the longest, i.e. during the entire period that the Phase Change Material is changing phase. In this way, your food products remain within the correct temperature range for a long time and spoilage is delayed. Failure rates will be drastically reduced.
Are you curious about the possibilities of Phase Change Material for keeping your products at the right temperature without being directly dependent on electricity? Feel free to contact us for the possibilities.
The thermal storage is highest around the solidification/melting point
Remains at the temperature of the melting point until PCM completely changes phase
By adapting the recipe according to proven standards
No on-site (electrical) cooling or heating required
Constant, proven effectiveness for vital sectors, among others
Extended use of renewable energy through storage and reuse.

Brother and sister Koon and Jennifer Ho are at the helm of a large production company of authentic and modern Chinese dishes, which originated from their father’s eatery in Amsterdam. In the corona crisis, Jennifer started Dimsummen.nl: a webshop with which consumers could also enjoy Dim Sum at home. These are small dishes from Chinese cuisine, also known as the tapas of China. These are shipped frozen, with Phase Change Material gel packs from Coolpack! Read in this case study how they approach the frozen transport of food to consumers.
