NewCold pod to play key role at new Corby facility
I
n 2017, NewCold Advanced Cold Logistics designed a bespoke automated pallet handling solution which was installed at customer facilities with similar unloading solution at their Wakefield facility. The company, now says that they are working with customers to look at installing similar technology at production facilities and their new site in Corby, due to open in Q1 2022. The automated loading facility currently implemented effectively bridges the gap between the deep-frozen production or storage environment and NewCold’s auto-loading 44-pallet double-deck trailers. Accordingly, as soon as the product leaves the production line at minus 22 degrees, it is automatically loaded through a sliding door at

the back of the 60-pallet-capacity pod, which itself is pre-cooled to the same temperature. From here the pallets are automatically transferred into the double-deck trailer, docked to the front of the pod. Meanwhile, three refrigeration systems hold the temperature at a constant minus 25 degrees and being electric, keep harmful emissions to a minimum. With automated loading completed in just 5
minutes, every deep-frozen package or pallet remains at a constant set temperature of minus 22 to minus 25 degrees, and at no time during its journey from the production line to completed loading in the trailer does any pallet need to be exposed to an ambient environment or touched by an operative. This not only
ensures absolute temperature integrity but virtually eliminates product damage. The same process is reversed when the load reaches the NewCold warehouse where automatic unloading capability unloads the trailer, again in approximately five minutes, directly into a frozen storage facility, ensuring best product integrity and quality. Furthermore, faster turnaround times reduce supply chain cost and by linking directly to production loading, efficiencies are achieved at production sites. NewCold point out that, their innovative double-deck trailers make a positive impact on the environment by significantly reducing road miles, compared to standard trailers or even longer length trailers.
