The transportation of liquid chocolate products like cocoa butter and palm oils isn’t simple. Standard liquid tankers are not up for the task, as these types of products can solidify if they are not kept at the right temperature. When bulk liquids solidify during transport, they risk clogging valves, losing product volume, and creating costly delays.
Not every liquid bulk carrier is prepared to face these challenges. Armada Bulk Transport has invested in specialized chocolate product transportation tankers and procedures that ensure chocolate-based and temperature-sensitive cargo moves safely and efficiently. If you’re wondering how we maintain quality from the pick up to delivery, here are four unique methods we deliver consistently.
In-Transit Heating Systems Keep Chocolate Flowing
Armada tankers feature extensive in-transit heating that maintains the tanker’s temperature throughout the entire trip. Chocolate products need to stay warm to remain pourable, ideally between 54-68°F (12- 20 °C). Managing the tanker’s temperature, humidity, and air flow during transportation is integral to preserving taste and quality.
Our drivers are aware of these requirements and prepare the equipment accordingly. Tanks are pre-heated before pick-up arrival, so there is no delay in bringing them up to temperature before loading. The back cabinet heaters create an even heating system to prevent valves from being blocked by hardening chocolate products.
Managing the temperatures and preparing ahead of pick-up reduces downtime, prevents waste and ensures your product arrives in perfect condition.
Digital Thermometer Tracking With Satellite Monitoring
Traditionally, temperature gauges rely on a driver to regularly check that the temperatures are remaining steady. At Armada, we’ve taken temperature monitoring for chocolate products a step further. With digital thermometers linked to satellite tracking, our dispatch is able to monitor temperatures in real time.
If you want confirmation that your product is being handled correctly, you can receive live data instantly. We provide you with transparency and peace of mind that you’ll receive your liquid chocolate products in optimal condition.
Specialized Tank Designed For Chocolate Products
Aside from the in-transit heating systems, Armada uses liquid bulk tankers engineered for efficient thermal retention. Thermal retention means extra insulation, strategically placed heating lines, and an overall heating system that keeps every part of the tank at a consistent temperature. From the load in to the load out, there are no cold spots leading to partial solidification.
Troubleshooting And Contamination Prevention
Armada Bulk Transport drivers are trained to spot and resolve potential issues before they escalate. All systems are checked before departure, all the valves remain clear, and they watch for any flow restriction. Aside from cargo transportation, every Armada driver follows strict tank cleaning and sealing procedures for each load. These protocols prevent cross-contamination.
At Armada, we take proactive steps to protect your product’s quality and avoid costly production delays.
Liquid chocolate product transportation demands the right equipment, efficient technology and proven expertise. Armada delivers all three of these demands by combining:
- Advanced in-transit heating systems
- Satellite digital temperature monitoring
- Heat retention specialized tanks
- Professional, skilled and detail-oriented drivers
If you’re looking for reliable, quality liquid chocolate product transportation, Armada provides a proven solution that keeps everything moving safely and at the right temperature.
