Cold chain guide hub

Isotec works across almost all temperature regimes: fresh produce, deep-frozen goods, butchery and meat processing, bakery, fish markets and food service; it can also run on dry ice. Temperature-sensitive medical products can be carried too. The right model and plate regime follow from the goods you carry.

Standard euro-norm crates (E1, E2, E3) fit every TBX size. On the newer generation the inner-tray dimensions are optimised to the crate sizes in use.

The standard colour is blue. Custom colours are available and your logo can be printed on the container to match your corporate identity.

Eutectic-plate rails (up to 6 plates), a plate shelf, a load shelf, a dry-ice tray shelf and a grooved tray can be fitted inside the container. We list the full set of accessories, with photos and part numbers, on the brand page.

Yes. GEBHARDT points to the 4smartlogistics solution for this: it records how many times the lid was opened and documents the temperature profile along the route, so a broken cold chain can be proven after the fact.

There is no ready table: each application needs a separate thermal analysis. The number of plates depends on the goods, route time, fill level and pre-cooling. We do not quote an off-hand figure: together with GEBHARDT's engineers in Germany, Aris Makina carries out the required thermal analyses and gives you the result.

It is cleaned by hand, with a high-pressure washer or in an automatic wash bay. The cleaner recommended by GEBHARDT is Calvatis CF315: it removes residue, does not corrode the tray and does not spoil the look over repeated washes. By design, no water reaches the insulation layer.

GEBHARDT gives 24 months' warranty from the purchase date; many elements on the welded and bolted joints can be replaced, so the container is a repairable product. For repairs GEBHARDT works with SAL GmbH, which specialises in thermal-container repair. Service and spare-parts support inside Türkiye runs through us; when a need arises we plan the solution together with you.

On its Isotec TBX product page, GEBHARDT describes the container as 'ATP and HACCP certified' for food-logistics transport and says that an external test institute regularly assesses the container and production processes. This manufacturer statement does not replace the operator's site-specific HACCP plan. Before purchase or tender, request the current certificate copy, scope, number and validity from Aris Makina - we obtain it from GEBHARDT and pass it on.

Two sizes of the same logic. The small sizes the market knows as ice packs; the industrial-size version is technically called a eutectic plate. In GEBHARDT plates the shell is food-safe polyethylene and the filling non-toxic brine; they come in -3, -14, -18 and -21 °C melting points and are used again and again.

Depending on the cooling technique, 8-24 hours; in practice a range of 15-21 hours is given. Example: a -21 °C plate freezes in about 19 hours in a -26 °C freezer. The freezer must be at least 5 °C below the plate's melting point, and an air gap must be left between plates - that is what the freezing rack is for.
