Transport and insulation made easy with EPP foam boxes

The transport of temperature-sensitive food and finished meals requires clever high-quality equipment so that the products reach their destination in perfect condition. EPP- thermal insulation boxes convince with their very high-insulation effect at low net weight and high break-stability – shorter and longer transport and standing times are no longer a challenge. The boxes support complying the hygienic regulations and are indispensable for companies, which deal with the transport of fresh goods and the delivery of food. PMPF EPP foam insulation boxes offers a wide range of different transport boxes.

EPP and EPS – two materials that ensure temperature-stability
The thermal insulation boxes keep the temperature of the food safe and stable - even when the boxes are used for long distances or are standing still for a while. In a temperature range between -40 °C (for chilled goods) and +120 °C (for ready-to-be-served food) the boxes can be used without further thought.

Both types of boxes are made of foamed plastic that is safe to use under common food law. They are characterised by the fact that they are extremely highly-insulating, while their low weight makes them perfect carrying aids.

EPP boxes are made of expanded polypropylene, the premium material of the thermal insulation box series. It originates from the automotive sector and stands for durability, elasticity, and high break-resistance. The material is completely recyclable. After use, EPP-Thermoboxes can either be washed out with running hot water or cleaned in the dishwasher. EPP is also tasteless and acid-stable. Thus, the EPP transport boxes are designed for a long service-life with regular use in the food sector, even in different temperature ranges.

EPS boxes are made of expanded polystyrene, the common trade name is Styrofoam. Regarding their insulating effect and food safety, they are in almost no way inferior to EPP boxes. However, the more brittle and sensitive material is much less designed for durability. EPS boxes are the cheaper alternative and are used much more frequently in the disposable sector (for example, when shipping food).

Numerous shapes and sizes of thermal insulation EPP- and EPS-thermal boxes
EPP and EPS thermal boxes are used in diverse areas. In the purchase of fresh and refrigerated goods for restaurants, for example, as well as in the delivery of snacks and lunches by local bakeries and butchers. Catering service providers, canteen kitchens and caterers also rely on these aids. Finally, when special highlights such as wedding cakes, ready-made food creations or good old pizza have to be delivered, theses thermo boxes are a valuable support.
