CSafe Softbox VIP: Reusable Parcel Shippers
Equipped with best-in-class VIP insulation, the Softbox VIP is a high-performance single-use and multi-use parcel solution. As an extension to the portfolio, the Softbox VIP+ parcel provides enhanced reusability features with an integrated data logger for real time shipment visibility. These solutions are designed for sustainability with robust, reusable carton for simplistic reverse logistics.
Key characteristics of the Softbox VIP include:
- Simplified pack-out process with minimal components.
- Qualified against ISTA 7D profiles.
- Industry-leading reuse and requalification program.
- Corrugated plastic containment layer reduces risk of damage.
The following table outlines the technical specifications for the Softbox VIP parcel solution:
| Feature | Specification Details |
|---|---|
| Payload Space (6 sizes) | 5L, 8L, 14L, 16L, 35L, 56L |
| Hold Times | Extended hold times for 96+, 120+, and 240+ hours |
| Temperature Ranges | +2°C to +8°C, +15°C to +25°C, -25°C to -15°C, and <-60°C (dry ice) |
| Insulation | Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP) |
CSafe RKN: Active Bulk Air Cargo Container
The RKN is the only compressor-driven refrigeration unit with precise temperature management of +4°C to +25°C. Every CSafe RKN is built with patented high-performance VIP insulation and an innovative air recirculation system that envelops the entire payload. The battery life is over 100 hours at +25°C and, because there is no dry ice, there are no special handling charges or charges for hazardous goods.
To address the rapid growth of mRNA vaccines and in preparation for the commercialization of cell and gene therapies, CSafe has developed an active bulk air cargo container that can maintain -20°C. The company will begin offering CSafe RKNs with the new frozen temperature setpoint on the control panel early next year. The CSafe RKN design requires minimal adjustment to accommodate the new -20°C temperature setpoint, limiting the need for additional customer training.
Regulatory Compliance and Quality:
The CSafe RKN is certified by the FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, Hong Kong CAD, Irish Aviation Authority and Australian CASA. In addition, the data tracking device monitors and verifies the payload temperature to aid regulatory compliance and data is easily downloadable via USB.
RAP Container: Multi-Pallet Active Cold Chain Solution
The RAP container is a multi-pallet active temperature-controlled container (TCC) featuring superior VIP insulation and integrated data logger for real time shipment visibility. It combines temperature-controlled innovation with cargo efficiency, allowing users to easily manage 4 standard US pallets or 5 standard Euro pallets in any orientation.
Advanced Technical Features:
- Advanced Temperature System (TMS): Array of 10 temperature sensors located throughout the cargo for high level of redundancy.
- Control Panel: Intuitive easy-to-use control panel with user-selectable temperature set points from +4°C to +25°C in 1°C increments.
- Durability: Flexible composite exterior panels made of high-performance aramid fiber for enhanced container durability.
- Performance: Maintains precise payload temperature in extreme ambient temperatures (-30 C to +54 C).
Visibility to conditional data is provided through a parcel viewing window and via CSafe Connect, offering end-to-end visibility to the supply chain with integrated real time tracking device with real time product condition and location readings.
