Storing meat and processed food

Access to reliable, mobile cold storage space during production and distribution can directly influence stock volume and profitability owing to the following challenges:

• To avoid spoilage and maximize profitability, meat and processed foods should be stored in an optimum environment immediately after preparation and packaging.
• Positioning raw ingredients near processing facilities can significantly improve efficiency and output capacity. To prevent deterioration, the ingredients used by companies in the food industry often require refrigeration at specific temperatures.
• Other companies in the supply chain, such as distributors and retailers, often require temperature-controlled facilities to transport and store processed food before selling it to consumers.

With the capacity to reach and maintain temperatures ranging as low as -35°C to as high as +30°C*, Triton Domestic Refrigerated Containers can be positioned inside or outside facilities, providing there is sufficient access to an energy supply, and the ground is level. Portable by design, they can be transported on a truck and relocated, making them ideal for storing perishable goods onsite and in transit.

*Please note Triton Domestic Refrigerated Containers should not be confused with blast freezers which can be used to deep-freeze fresh meat; our units are manufactured to store pre-frozen goods safely.

Reliable refrigeration allows sellers to source meat in larger quantities and store it safely for longer periods until selling, marinating, aging or curing it. Triton 40ft Domestic Refrigerated Containers and 45ft High Cube Pallet Wide Refrigerated Containers are ideal for bulk storage owing to their large capacity.

Compared to the costs associated with building and maintaining traditional brick-and-mortar facilities, Triton Temperature-Controlled Containers provide businesses with an economic investment opportunity to expand warehousing capacity, increase the number of goods they stock, and safely store excess products on-site during seasonal peaks. In addition, our units are portable by design, allowing you to deploy them strategically when and where they are needed.

• Before loading goods, clean the unit carefully, ensure it is dry and odor free.
• Ensure the unit is set at the optimal temperature for the type of product you wish to store inside. Always refer to the recommended temperature guidelines for the specific product/s you wish to store.
• Before loading stock into a Refrigerated Container, ensure it is the same temperature as the unit.
• To prevent potential contamination, cover meat carefully and separate it from other foods.
• Ensure you remove any damaged or rotten food as it can compromise the quality of other stored goods.
• To avoid temperature fluctuations, load stock quickly and avoid opening the unit doors for long periods.
• Date and label all products carefully and use older items first, remove any food that has expired.
• Do not stow items on the roof, against the front of the container or underneath machinery.
• Check and clean the unit interior frequently.
