Eutectic Plates
Eutectic plates: passive refrigeration for food logistics
Eutectic plates developed by FIC S.p.A. represent one of the most reliable and sustainable solutions for refrigerated transport of fresh and frozen products. Used inside insulated bodies, vans and mobile containers, they guarantee maintenance of required temperature even in absence of active power supply, during delivery or parking phases.
With over 40 years of experience in the sector, FIC is a reference supplier for leading refrigerated body manufacturers and cold chain companies, thanks to robust, efficient and fully customizable products.
HOW IT WORKS
Eutectic technology: thermal storage for uninterrupted transport
Eutectic plates are cold accumulators that use saline solutions or eutectic mixtures to maintain constant internal compartment temperature during transport. After being charged in special cold rooms, they gradually release cold during travel.
Main technology characteristics include:
- autonomous operation without compressor
- elimination of noise and emissions during deliveries
- cold continuity even with frequent door openings
- possibility of operating even with engine off
