Frequently asked questions

It is an isothermal cargo cover with aluminium complex that is designed for the inner lining of shipping containers.

Its purpose is to protect shipping exports in Dry Van containers from the extreme changes in temperature that cargo is exposed to. Those changes, as well as water condensation that forms during long journeys, may cause irreversible chemical, biological or physical damage. That could include changes in the flavour of foodstuffs, corrosion in metals, the formation of mould or damage caused by falling cardboard boxes that have been weakened by the humidity.

Shipping containers may reach temperatures of over 60ºC during the day. That temperature can fall by 15% or more during the night, which creates condensation on the walls and ceilings
Embatuffs solve 4 situations that may occur:

1. Damage caused by temperature
2. Damage caused by humidity
3. Due to completely isolating cargo from odours, products such as fertilisers and furs/leathers can be transported.
4. Due to isolating cargo from dirt, savings are made on subsequent container cleaning costs.

In addition to protecting, improving and safeguarding the image of the exporter and the brand, the quality of the product on arrival is ensured.

The position of the container on the ship, voyage route, time of year and the transport duration all entail a wide range of conditions.
Due to the tests conducted in extreme conditions by certified laboratories and our practical experience in using data loggers, we can safely say that the containment temperature differs between 10-20ºC of that reached in the container.
We can provide cost-effective data loggers that register internal conditions. Charts containing the results can be downloaded using a USB, allowing the details of temperature changes during transportation to be verified.

Obviously there is no obligation. However, it is worth while averting risks that could damage our product image in the destination country and its consequences. It is not easy or cheap to obtain clients that are later lost due to inappropriate transportation.
Importers are not always aware of the risks and they may take their eye off the ball in terms of sufficiently protecting cargo for transportation. Taking that into account, proposing the Embatuff solution to the client and including it in the invoice entails little effort.
The client will positively assess the proposal before putting its valuable cargo at risk.

The Embatuff has the quickest, simplest and most cost-effective assembly system on the market. 1 person and 3 minutes are all that is needed to get a 20-ft Dry Van container ready to protect its cargo.

Our advertising flyer demonstrates the steps to take. There are also step-by-step installation videos available on the website.
Its extreme simplicity leaves no doubt that having specialised personnel is not required. This makes the work so easy that the Embatuff is accessible to exporters and their logistics personnel.

One of the biggest differences is that the Embatuff is a comprehensive isolation and insulation system. It is a bag within a container and not a cover stuck to the walls, ceiling or door. That not only makes the solution more effective, but it also provides other advantages, such as:

• It is reusable, which means it can be removed and reassembled in another container.
• It isolates odours
• It isolates dirt
• It saves on the cost of having to wash the container after transportation
• It is easy to assemble and it only requires 1 person, not 2 people taking 40 minutes.
• The time and cost of assembly is 93% less

It is recommended when goods do not have to travel at a constant temperature and can withstand the variations indicated in our charts and studies.
Many products tolerate a range of temperature variations. In these cases, the Embatuff may save around 60% of transport costs, helping companies to be more competitive in the target market.
It is recommended for many products, such as wine, liqueurs, beers, chocolates, juices and many others.
Furthermore, there are times when refrigerated containers are not easily available.

Taking advantage of its comprehensive protection, the exporter initially obtains:

• A saving on packaging and protection material
• A saving on operational packaging costs
• Greater speed in shipping preparation.

When the cargo reaches its destination in perfect condition, the exporter:

• Avoids client complaints
• Saves on unloading costs and time related to cargo falls caused by the weakening of cardboard
• Saves on cargo reconditioning and replacement costs
• Saves on costs and time in resending goods
• We ensure the good quality and image of the brand in the country of destination.
