For the cold chain of the future
MAX is a thermocontainer developed jointly by FEURER and Olivo for fresh or frozen food. Its development considered materials, weight and handling, among other factors.
For over 50 years the French company Olivo has been producing cooling containers for the transport of food and healthcare products at a precisely controlled temperature. For the new MAX generation, Olivo has once more completely revised the thermocontainer concept. It was first of all analysed what was expected from a thermocontainer of the future: Stable temperatures, safe handling, simple ergonomics and a long service life were right at the top of the list. With the support of FEURER, Olivo tackled these requirements and incorporated them into the development of MAX.
FEURER contributed its materials expertise to the project and undertook the development of the container and the production of the foam and closure components. Insulation and handling requirements were considered during development.
The container uses EPP (expanded polypropylene). Suitability for a specific refrigerated transport depends on the design, temperature requirements, transport duration and operating conditions. Recovery after use requires assessment of the material composition, condition and available collection, sorting and recovery routes.
