In food transportation, precision is not merely a logistics preference; it is a safety requirement that must protect the product until it reaches the end consumer. At Tetglobal, we ensure that temperature-sensitive products such as liquid chocolate, cream and hazelnut purée are carried across the global network without spoiling or losing their freshness. Thanks to the stability of our temperature-controlled equipment, your products stay within the required temperature range throughout the route.
In running our logistics operations, we do not simply offer a transport service; we act as an integrated solution partner that protects the chemical and physical structure of the product. In the global movement of liquid food products, we minimise supply chain risks by using environmentally friendly and highly secure methods. By combining food safety standards with operational speed, we guarantee the same high quality in every shipment.
Temperature Control and Precision in Food Transportation
Temperature fluctuations can quickly damage the microbiological structure of food products. Especially with liquid foods, heat loss or overheating can permanently change the viscosity and taste of the product. That is why the temperature-controlled units we use in our food transport operations provide a thermal balance that can be monitored 24/7. By tracking temperature changes in real time, we prevent the product from going beyond critical limits.
When transporting liquid chocolate or vegetable oil-based products, temperature control is not just a feature; it is the key factor that determines the product's shelf life. Whatever the outside temperature, our equipment has the insulation and active cooling/heating capacity to keep the tank at its set temperature. As a result, we never compromise on product quality, even in the harshest climate conditions.
Hygiene and Sanitation: From Cleaning to Microbiological Testing
In food logistics, cleaning does not simply mean wiping a surface. The process our transport equipment goes through after each use is a cornerstone of food safety. We apply special cleaning protocols suited to the product type. For example, if the previous load was a sugary product, we carry out deep cleaning to reduce the risk of cross-contamination with an acidic product in the next load to zero.
Once cleaning is complete, we carry out microbiological measurements to prove the success of the process. By testing whether any bacteria or residue remains on tank surfaces, we certify compliance with “Food Grade” standards. This meticulous process aims to eliminate completely the risk of contamination, the biggest concern of companies transporting food products.
- Pre-cleaning: Mechanical removal of all residues inside the tank.
- Chemical Sanitisation: Use of food-safe disinfectants that leave no residue.
- Microbiological Analysis: Laboratory approval of samples taken from surfaces after cleaning.
- Verification: Digital recording of the tank's suitability for food transport after cleaning.
SQAS Standards and Sustainable Quality Management
The SQAS (Safety & Quality Assessment for Sustainability) standards set by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) are the constitution of our operations. These standards cover not only safety but also environmental sustainability. In food transportation, we use energy-efficient routes and equipment that minimise harm to the environment.
Building a sustainable logistics network requires tracking our carbon footprint. With our SQAS-compliant processes, we combine safety and quality in food logistics with an environmentally friendly approach. This disciplined approach makes us one of the most trusted supply chain partners of global food producers.
Using ISO Tank Containers in Liquid Food Logistics
The biggest challenge in transporting liquid foods is preserving the physical structure of the product. Our ISO tank containers are made of food-grade materials, and their inner surfaces contain nothing that could corrode or react with the product. For sensitive products such as liquid chocolate, cream or hazelnut purée, these tanks provide a special protective shield that minimises vibration and temperature change.
The interior of our tanks is designed so as not to disturb the flow of the product. Using the tank's heating systems, we can overcome the difficulties that may arise when discharging high-viscosity products. This increases operational efficiency while preventing risks such as the product burning or its structure breaking down during heating.
The Tetglobal Difference in the Global Food Supply Chain
We have a wide network connecting food production centres around the world with points of consumption. In food transportation, we do not just plot a route; we turn the product's journey from source to table into a safety protocol. Every unit in our global network is audited according to Tetglobal standards.
Our difference lies in our attention to detail. We care not only about the arrival time of a shipment but also about preserving the physical, chemical and microbiological integrity of the product. This integrated approach allows us to offer our customers not just a transport service but a promise of trust.
Comparative Approaches in Food Logistics
The difference between traditional logistics methods and modern, food-focused logistics shows clearly in product loss rates. While temperature monitoring in standard transport may be manual or irregular, everything in our service is digital and traceable.
| Feature | Standard Transport | Tetglobal Food Logistics |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature Control | Limited / Manual | Continuous / Digitally Traceable |
| Hygiene Standard | General Cleaning | Microbiologically Approved Sanitisation |
| Equipment Type | Standard Container | Food Grade ISO Tanks |
