temperature-Controlled Logistics

Ensuring Safe Transport for Sensitive Pharmaceuticals

Frozen Logistics
(-15˚C to -25˚C)

We ensure safe passage for your frozen, sensitive drugs, maintaining temperatures between -15˚C to -25˚C. Our advanced monitoring systems track shipments every step of the way, guaranteeing they arrive at the right temperature. Uses dry ice, gel packs, and specialist containers.

Controlled Ambient
(15˚C to 25˚C)

For shipments stored at room temperature, we provide dry, clean, and well-ventilated environments using passive packaging solutions. Ideal for warehouse storage and transit. Utilizes phase change materials (PCMs) like water, ice, and dry ice.

Refrigerated
(2˚C to 8˚C)

We maintain precise 2˚C to 8˚C conditions for refrigerated products, ensuring their efficacy and safety. Combines active and passive packaging for optimal temperature control. Protects sensitive pharmaceuticals during storage and transport.

FINAL MILE SOLUTIONS

Our plug-in options maintain narrow temperature ranges, protecting product integrity and preventing deterioration. With Gleatz, your shipments arrive on time, in perfect condition, and with full visibility throughout the journey.

Active and Passive Packaging

Choosing the right packaging option to maintain the required temperature of the shipment is a vital part of the supply chain movement.  Active containers have electrically controlled cooling and heating systems or cooling with dry ice. Passive containers are insulated boxes or containers with no active temperature control. The risk profile of the product will usually determine the nature of the packaging chosen.  Our experts can guide you through the process of choosing what is best for your shipments.

Active

Active containers can hold specific temperature ranges without significant deviations and they are generally rented. Temperature sensitive alarms will provide peace of mind as if any fluctuation occurs, standby units are immediately triggered.

Active shipping containers are usually leased and feature advanced temperature controls that are often powered by electricity and/or battery. They are considered to be more secure than passive systems, as the units lock and are never opened during transport.

Active containers may have a heating and/or cooling systems built in, and can work using dry ice as a coolant to maintain a specific set temperature.

Passive

Passive containers are suited to use in a controlled room temperatures (CRT) environment or as general protection for shipments with a low-risk profile.

A passive container maintains a temperature-controlled environment inside an insulated enclosure. This can be with or without thermostatic regulation, using a finite amount of pre-conditioned coolant such as chilled or frozen gel packs, phase change materials and dry ice.

Passive containers are typically insulated with polystyrene, polyurethane or vacuum insulated panels. Many are designed to hold a particular temperature for a given amount of payload capacity for a specified period of time up to 96 hours.
