Reeferkonttis

Reeferkonttis is a Finnish term that translates to "refrigerated container" in English. It refers to a specific type of shipping container equipped with refrigeration units. These containers are essential for the transportation of perishable goods, such as food products, pharmaceuticals, and certain chemicals, that require strict temperature control during transit.

The primary function of a reeferkontti is to maintain a consistent low temperature, preventing spoilage and preserving the quality of its contents. They are typically powered by an external electricity source at terminals or by a self-contained diesel generator when on the move. The temperature inside can be precisely regulated, often ranging from -35 degrees Celsius to +30 degrees Celsius, depending on the specific needs of the cargo.

Reeferkonttis are widely used in international trade, facilitating the global movement of temperature-sensitive commodities. They are a crucial component of the cold chain logistics, ensuring that products reach their destination in optimal condition. The design of a reeferkontti includes insulated walls, a robust refrigeration system, and often features for monitoring and recording temperature data throughout the journey. Their reliability and efficiency have made them indispensable in modern global commerce.
