36 The Cold Chain Bus-stop, back-stop, they’re there
SEYMOUR MANUFACTURING INTERNATIONAL’S (SMI) new Back- Stop and Bus-Stop range has the potential to revolutionise the frozen and chilled food haulage industry, according to one of the companies involved in the testing process. Ruskim Seafoods, one of Europe’s leading importers of quality meat, seafood and poultry, with a fleet of more than 90 refrigerated delivery vehicles, has been field testing the insulated curtain system in one of the trucks.
Ruskim’s transport manager Lee Shropshire says: “We immediately saw its potential for giving us flexible, multi-temperature zones in our vehicles which could be moved up and down the bulkhead to reflect the wide variety of food products we now handle.”
“There is no doubt that this product has the potential to revolutionise the way in which companies such as Ruskim operate. It is light years ahead of any similar products on the market right now.” So what are Back-Stop, and Bus Stop? They are a family of insulated flexible barriers designed to reduce energy loss from the back of a chilled or frozen vehicle.
The door curtain system, using SMI’s Tempro thermal insulation, conserves significant amounts of energy by retaining chill. Bus-Stop consists of four movable insulated curtains, fitted on a sliding bar mounted below the truck ceiling, allowing it to be moved from the back, to the front of the truck as required.
The bar is locked in position by a spring-loaded bolt, and the curtains held in place by magnets. A fully automated Back-Stop system is also available.
Mr Shropshire continues: “We have been retaining frozen temperatures of around –15°C on one side of the curtains, and ambient or chilled temperatures of between 0°C and 3°C on the other, consistently.
“There is no doubt that this product has the potential to revolutionise the way in which companies such as Ruskim operate. It is light years ahead of any similar products on the market right now.
“I am sure we will be fitting products from the Back-Stop and Bus-Stop range into a significant number of our vehicles. They will allow us to use our trucks more economically, and make life easier for our drivers too.”
