RAFT – Reefer Air Flow Technology

RAFT is an airflow modification technology for refrigerated shipping containers that improves temperature consistency throughout the container. Outturn quality of fresh produce is improved, increasing profitability. Air is “lazy” and will take the path of least resistance, as a result most of the chilled air inside a container will move around the pallets rather than through them, which has a detrimental effect on freshness and quality.

RAFT agricultural cargo cooling kit changes the direction of airflow from vertical to horizontal, which forces the chilled air through the packaged product and allows for more uniform produce temperatures throughout the container.

Benefits Of RAFT include:

• Reduces temperature differentials throughout the container
• The quality of all produce, particularly short shelf life fruits and vegetables is improved
• Enables faster stabilisation of cold-steri temperatures
• Reducing temperature differentials increases the relative humidity. A relative humidity of  >90% is desirable to reduce weight loss and shrivel.
• The kit is made of recyclable components and does not damage the container
• Commercially proven with a variety of produce
