With its innovative bag-in-plate design, the Safecore™ Technology provides exceptional protection to Celsius® FFT|FFTp in a proven design format that is scalable from small to large-size single-use containers. Celsius® FFT|FFTp, along with its purpose-designed shippers (Celsius® FFT|FFTp Box and Celsius® FFT Bulk Shipper), offers enhanced process capabilities to create a versatile approach to product protection in conventional manufacturing.
Safecore™, bag-in-plate (cassette) design
- Plates protect the bag and lines by adding impact resistance, suppressing wrinkles and restricting degrees of freedom
- Excellent bag-to-plate contact provides high robustness and more uniform freeze/thaw, plates compress the bag to reduce ice bulging formation
- Container assembly is tool-free and intuitive for minimum risk during production assembly
Maximum Robustness down to -80°C
- Materials selection based on characterization of physical and thermal properties across wide temperature range to ensure suitable use for the intended application
- Handling and shipping qualifications built on deep understanding of mechanical stresses occurring during lifecycle for reliable performance in real-world environments
- Storage and shipping operations down to -80°C, multiple freeze-thaw cycles, shipping qualification according to ASTM D4169
Simplified Operation
- Plates are transparent for bag chamber visibility and product inspection
- Configurable with various tubing materials and connector/disconnector technologies, easy wipe down
- Celsius FFT Sample Bag Cover proposed as optionnal accessory to store/ship sample bag. Label adhered to the shell for full product traceability and optionnal Label Placard accessory proposed for end-user labelling
Bulk Processing
- Bulk Shipper maximize storage and shipping density and reduces associated risks during handling with multiple containers per pallet
- Compatible for truck and ocean transportation in refrigerated environment as is, compatible with any type of thermal insulated shipper for air transportation
- 2 shipping solutions: Box and Bulk Shippers, qualified according to stringent regulations for shipping containers
