In the cold chain logistics industry, choosing the right material for refrigerated truck body panels are crucial to transportation effectiveness. The insulation, durability and cost of the refrigerated truck directly affect the transportation efficiency.Yogomo Reefer truck box, as a leading manufacturer of refrigerated box panels, is committed to producing high quality refrigerated truck bodies. We use two main insulation materials for our refrigerated bodies: polyurethane (PU) and polystyrene (XPS). In practice, these two materials have their own advantages and are suitable for different transportation needs.
Polyurethane (PU) is one of the most commonly used insulating materials in Yogomo's refrigerator boxes, and is widely used for its excellent thermal insulation performance.PU has a very low thermal conductivity, which can effectively block the outside heat from entering the compartment and ensure the temperature inside the compartment is stable.
1>Excellent heat preservation effect: PU material has very low thermal conductivity, which can keep the low temperature for a long time. For the transportation of perishable goods, such as food and pharmaceuticals, polyurethane refrigerated truck boxes can effectively maintain the freshness of the products.
2>Lightweight design: the polyurethane insulation layer has a lower density, which helps to reduce the deadweight of the refrigerated trucks, improve the transportation efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and transportation costs. Whether it is for small refrigerated truck or refrigerated semi-trailer is particularly important.
3>Strong durability: polyurethane is not easy to aging, good corrosion resistance, adapt to long time, high intensity use. Polyurethane provides better protection against the harsh environments of cold chain transportation.
In cold chain logistics, especially for long-distance transportation or goods that need to be kept at low temperatures. The use of polyurethane refrigerated bodies has obvious advantages. The polyurethane insulation layer in our refrigerated truck body can keep the temperature inside the truck stable for a long time, ensuring that the cargo is always in the best temperature-controlled state during transportation.
Polystyrene (XPS) is another common insulation material for refrigeration box truck, which has good compressive strength and waterproof performance.XPS material has high density and closed cell structure, which makes it almost non-absorbent, and can resist humid environment well.
1> Good compressive strength: XPS has excellent compressive capacity and is suitable for refrigerated boxes that need to be load-bearing. During transportation, XPS can effectively keep the structure of the compartment stable and not easily deformed.
2>Strong waterproof: XPS's closed-cell structure makes it almost non-absorbent, especially suitable for transportation in humid environments. For seafood, frozen food and other goods that need low temperature and moisture-proof, XPS refrigerator boxes perform well.
3>Lower cost: Compared with polyurethane, XPS has a lower cost, which is suitable for customers with limited budget. I accept custom box truck bodies which can be flexibly selected according to customer's needs.
XPS refrigerated truck bodies are suitable for short distance transportation or cost sensitive customers. Especially for transportation scenarios that require frequent loading and unloading of goods. Such as transportation of perishable commodities such as vegetables and fruits, XPS can effectively ensure the thermal insulation and structural strength of the box truck.
Yogomo's Refrigerated Car Body Processes and Applications
At Yogomo, we utilize a leading-edge wet paneling process to manufacture refrigerated compartments using polyurethane and XPS insulation. Our reefer body process ensures efficient insulation and structural strength while maintaining light weight and durability. Whether you need standard complete truck bodies or custom box truck bodies, we can provide you with the optimal insulation solution.
Our production process includes a sophisticated fiberglass skin bonding process, resulting in composite materials such as fiberglass foam sandwich panels and FRP PU Foam Composite Panels, which ensure that the compartments are both strong and lightweight, and are able to withstand friction and impact during transportation. Through this process, the refrigerated compartment not only has excellent heat preservation, but also can cope with the wear and tear brought about by prolonged use.
If your needs are for high thermal insulation, lightweight design and the need to maintain low temperatures for long periods of time, PU is a more suitable choice, especially for cold chain logistics and high-end refrigerated transportation.
If your needs are more focused on compression resistance and waterproofing, and your budget is limited, extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a cost-effective option for short-haul and general cargo transportation.
Whether you need a refrigerated truck body, a customized refrigerated truck body, or a freezer truck body for sale, Yogomo can provide expert advice and solutions for your specific needs.
