“Studies have shown that for every 1°C increase in temperature above optimal storage conditions, the rate of bacterial growth in seafood can double, significantly reducing shelf life and increasing the risk of spoilage in perishable goods.”
This highlights the critical need for careful handling to maintain quality and safety during seafood transportation. Techniques like High-Pressure Processing (HPP), Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), and biopreservation help extend the shelf life of seafood, but maintaining temperature control during last-mile delivery remains a significant challenge within cold chain logistics.
This blog explores how PronGo®, with its innovative multi-temperature control shippers, addresses these challenges, offering a breakthrough solution for last-mile delivery of perishable goods.
The last mile of delivery, the final leg of the journey from a distribution center to the customer’s doorstep, presents unique challenges for maintaining temperature control, especially for highly perishable goods like meat and seafood. These complexities impact cold chain logistics and include:
Temperature fluctuations compromise an estimated 20% of perishable goods during the last mile. This temperature variance can have serious consequences, impacting food quality and potentially endangering consumer health.
Traditional methods like ice packs and refrigerated trucks have their limitations. Ice packs struggle to maintain a consistent temperature and cannot be used for the frozen category(-15 deg C to -25 deg C) ,whereas refrigerated trucks are costly for part load shipment and it contributes to carbon emissions, highlighting the need for efficient and sustainable cold chain logistics.
PronGo® are a range of passive transportation systems such as temperature-controlled bags, boxes, pallets combined with superior insulation and Phase Change Materials (PCM) based coolants designed to maintain the quality of seafood by increasing shelf life during last-mile seafood transportation. PronGo®’s multi-temperature control shippers act as a cornerstone in overcoming these temperature logistics challenges, creating separate compartments for various types of food at varying temperatures, ensuring effective temperature control.
PronGo®’s multi-temperature control shippers are a cutting-edge transportation method that withstands the complex processes of perishable goods. These shippers are categorized as multi-compartment, where multiple products can be compartmentalised at different temperatures within the same system, ensuring efficiency, optimal safety and quality throughout the delivery process. Designed specifically for both meat and seafood, PronGo® offers solutions for local deliveries and large bulk shipments, providing flexibility for businesses of all sizes involved in seafood transportation and other cold chain logistics.
With Prongo, you have 3 different temperature ranges to choose from:
Along with the multi-temperature control shipper, the retention time of these temperatures is controlled by Advanced Phase Change Materials (PCMs), which are crucial in maintaining temperature control for delivery duration from 10 minutes to 72 hours catering to first, mid and last-mile delivery.
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) absorb or release heat at a designed temperature. They offer several advantages over traditional coolants and pave the way for reusability and sustainability, reducing waste and operational costs. This eco-friendly solution reduces the need for single-use packaging and refrigerants, minimizing the environmental footprint of the entire cold chain logistics process.
The PronGo® Recharge Station plays a pivotal role as a critical element in the ecosystem. PronGo® Recharge Station ensures certainty of completely charging PCMs which essentially is high capacity freezer capable of charging PCMs needing as low freezing points as – 30 deg C .
By supporting businesses in delivering superior quality meat and seafood while also being environmentally responsible, PronGo® offers benefits that resonate with companies and end users concerned with effective cold chain logistics.
PronGo® has already proven its trust across various industries, in the food and beverage domain. By breaking through the challenges in the seafood transportation industry, with solutions that ensure temperature and quality, the brand has become a flagship with multi-temperature control shippers, PCMs, recharge stations, and also environmentally protective.
It is important for a Seafood and Meat business like yours to have the most safest, reliable, and prompt last mile delivery.
