Seafood is known for its high nutritional value, and with the improvement of living standards, seafood has transformed from a luxury item to an ordinary household food. Due to the fact that most seafood is produced in coastal areas, transporting it to inland cities heavily relies on ISUZU Refrigerated Trucks designed specifically for long-distance transportation.
Unlike fresh fruits and vegetables, aquatic products have stricter requirements for temperature, humidity, and loading methods. Before loading, the refrigeration compartment must be pre cooled to 0-5 ° C. In addition, the surface of seafood must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent bacterial growth in a closed environment. For the transportation of live seafood, the refrigeration room should maintain a relative humidity of 95% -100% and be equipped with an oxygen supply device, and the temperature should also be adjusted to a suitable range. For deeply frozen products, the temperature during transportation should be maintained between -18 ° C and -20 ° C.
During refrigerated transportation, the evaporator fan may cause the surface of seafood to dry out. To address this issue, adding an appropriate amount of ice can help retain moisture, extend shelf life, and maintain the quality of seafood for up to a month.
Another method is to fill the ISUZU Refrigerated Truck with seawater cooled to 0-1 ° C and immerse the seafood directly into it. This method can maintain the quality of seafood for 10-14 days, but seafood may absorb salt and needs to be rinsed before consumption.
It should be noted that standard refrigerated trucks are not corrosion-resistant. Long term exposure to seawater can damage refrigerated carriages and refrigeration units. Therefore, after each transportation, the doors must be opened to thoroughly clean and dry the refrigerated truck to prevent corrosion and maintain its functionality.
