Transport perishables
Maintaining an optimal temperature during the transport of perishables is essential. To ensure products are delivered fresh, healthy and safely to the handling facilities at the port of destination, perishables like fresh food, plants and flowers are transported at a specific temperature. On average 40% of product is lost during the transportation from the farm to the consumer.
This problem can be easily solved by combining Phase Change Material (PCM) with the fresh products in a thermo packing protection. PCM can be used with all types of perishable goods, including fresh flowers, meat, fish, and soft fruits.

Do you want to shave peak loads in cold storage?
Your cold storage facility or refrigerated warehouse may be using an excessive amount of power during peak hours. The current prices of electricity can make it hard to be competitive and food waste is a serious thread.
With Pluss PCM you can add huge amounts of thermal mass to your cold storage. By freezing this additional PCM mass in off-peak hours or with your own solar panels during the day, you can “charge” your cold room and run your cold warehouse more efficiently.
Looking at the future with dynamic electricity prices, the high peak prices need to be avoided at all costs. With a PCM thermal mass added to your cold storage you can run your installation on off-peak prices or on your own solar power alone!
An additional benefit is that cooling installations can run at a lower peak power and more constantly. With less intermittence in the switching you will increasing the lifespan, decreasing maintenance and decrease power consumption.
Furthermore the PCM can act as a thermal buffer or insurance for power outages or installation malfunction.
Use Your Cold Storage to Store Solar Energy
More and more cold storage warehouses have transitioned to using energy efficient chillers, perfect insulation, curtains, segments, led lighting and covered the roof with solar panels.However are you supplying your solar power to the grid instead of using it yourself it in your cold storage facility?
Pluss can help by adding thermal mass to your warehouse without taking up useful storage space. By adding thermal mass you can charge and discharge your warehouse, because the PCM thermal mass that Pluss is using can store 6 times more cold then conventional materials. The PCM is tweaked to perform at your desired temperature, is absolutely passive (no additional operational costs) and has a useful life of at least 25 years.
Pluss advanced Technologies has already successfully created an off-grid solar powered cold room, that is used to keep fresh produce fresh at farms across the world. You can use the same technology to make your facility run primarily on solar power from your own rooftop!

Shift Your Cooling Load to Off-Peak Hours
With Pluss PCM you can add a PCM thermal battery to your cold storage. By freezing this additional PCM mass in off-peak hours you can decrease your operational costs with roughly 25%.
Looking at the future with dynamic, variable or spot electricity prices, it is best to avoid high peak prices at all costs. By adding the PCM thermal mass batteries to your storage you can run your installation on off-peak prices.
An additional benefit is that cooling installation can run at a lower peak power and more constant. With less intermittence in the switching you will increasing the lifespan, decreasing maintenance and decrease power consumption.
