FANQUIP has developed a portable container cooling system which regulates the internal temperature of transport containers to improve the conditions for workers during manual handling tasks.
Companies do not always use automation to empty out transport containers, especially when delivery frequencies are low, quantities are small or individual units are irregular or tiny in size.
In such cases, manual handling is needed to unload containers. However, the internal temperature of the transport container can be significantly hotter than the outdoor environment, especially during summer. This poses a health risk to workers engaged in manual unloading.
Fanquip’s technology was installed by a company that wanted to keep its staff cool as they unloaded rubber products from large containers. It opted for a thermostatically controlled, ducted air with a temperature controller.
According to the company, its container cooling system can be permanently mounted wherever it is required. A movable arm can be manoeuvred to hook up to any container access point.
The cool air from the air-conditioning module is moved through flexible ducting by an industrial blower and pushed into the container.
The system is said to be adaptable to any size of transport container. The size of the air conditioning unit and the size of the ducting can be adjusted according to the application.
