Understanding Cold Chain Logistics
Cold chain logistics refers to the temperature-controlled transportation and storage of climate-sensitive goods. A complete cold chain encompasses a series of uninterrupted processes, including production, Lagerung, and distribution, supported by specialized equipment and logistics systems. The primary goal is to maintain a specific low-temperature range to preserve product quality and extend shelf life. Products like fresh produce, Meeresfrüchte, gefrorenes Essen, fotografischen Film, Chemikalien, and medicines rely on cold chain logistics and are often referred to as "cold chain goods" during transport and storage.
The Cold Chain Logistics Industry Chain
The industry chain for cold chain logistics can be categorized into three segments:
- Upstream Industry:
- Includes manufacturers of cooling equipment, such as refrigerated trucks and cold storage units.
- Midstream Industry:
- Comprises transportation, Lagerung, and integrated logistics management enterprises.
- Downstream Industry:
- Primarily serves fresh food businesses and medical and biological enterprises, which depend on efficient cold chain logistics to maintain product integrity.
Refrigeration Technology in Cold Chain Logistics
Refrigeration involves reducing or maintaining an object’s temperature below ambient levels. While the core principles of refrigeration remain consistent, cold chain logistics demands additional precision due to the varying temperature requirements of different products. The focus is not just on cooling but maintaining consistent temperature levels.
- Temperature Ranges for Different Products:
- Quick-frozen foods, frozen meat, and ice cream require frozen transport (-30°C to -18°C).
- Fruits, vegetables, beverages, and dairy products need refrigeration near the freezing point to 10°C.
- Pharmaceuticals like vaccines and blood require constant temperature control (2°C to 8°C).
The challenge of managing multi-temperature layers for diverse goods is a critical consideration in cold chain logistics.
