Pre-cooling the product not only saves the effort and expense of using the transporting container equipment for initial cooling, but, more important, it lengthens the life of your product because it stops the decomposition/ripening process at the earliest stage of the transportation chain.

Meats, fruits, and fresh vegetables can be easily damaged by freezing. It is best to protect packages stowed near the cool air entry ducts. Pre-cooling the cargo reduces the constant and excessive blasts of cold air needed to cool a cargo that has not been previously refrigerated.
