Thermo trolley
Reliable cold chains with minimal operational effort
- No dry ice needed
- Transport without refrigerated vehicles
- High flexibility in the stores
The Thermo Trolley is a joint innovation project by Wanzl and va-Q-tec. It combines highly efficient vacuum insulation with a robust design to set new standards in passive temperature control. The aim is to achieve a secure cold chain in food retail while significantly reducing energy costs and operational effort.
Test conditions:
- Constant ambient temperature: +5°C
- Threshold temperature: -18 °C
- Product load: 150 kg (330 lbs) of frozen products
Results: Thanks to the vacuum insulation, food temperatures in the Thermo Trolley can be held constant for up to 12 hours without cold packs – whether chilled or frozen.
Test conditions:
- Constant ambient temperature: +20 °C
- Threshold temperature: -18 °C
- Product load: 150 kg (330 lbs) of frozen products
Results: With just two specialized batteries, the temperature retention time of the Thermo Trolley can be extended to up to 24 hours – for both frozen and chilled products. For longer transport times, the retention period can be further increased by utilizing additional specialized thermal batteries.
