Processing chocolate is time-consuming and requires consistency at every step, as even small temperature fluctuations can cause it to solidify, spoil, or lose quality.
Maintaining precise temperatures during bulk transportation is crucial. Armada Bulk Transport uses advanced in-transit heating and real-time monitoring to keep your products at optimal temperatures. Read on to see how our systems protect your products during transit.
Armada’s Heating Technology
As our fleet grows, we offer innovative transportation technology. While in-transit heating isn’t new, we’ve improved it to enhance product quality.
Our tankers have upgraded in-transit heating and an extra rear heater. This added heater reduces choke points, preventing chocolates and oils from solidifying. Insulated pump cabinets and tank walls keep temperatures steady, ensuring smooth loading and unloading with minimal waste.
How this works:
Before loading, drivers set and maintain the tank temperature. Our in-transit heating and pump system ensures fast loading and product quality.
We coordinate with our wash bays to match your shipment timelines. Bulk chocolate shipping requires loading within 48-72 hours after washing, so timing is key for safe, efficient loading.
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
Traditional heating uses analog gauges, which require frequent driver checks. Armada upgraded to digital and satellite monitoring for accuracy.
With this model, we’re able to track the truck’s location and temperatures to ensure timely delivery and address any deviations or potential issues in real time. As a shipper, you’re kept up to date on your shipments and receive early warnings of any delays while products are in transit.
Why Do Heating Systems Matter?
Temperature-sensitive liquids can change suddenly. Without consistent heating, issues include:
- Solidification of products during transportation
- Frozen valves and pumps in extremely cold temperatures
- Extended unload times, delayed or failed deliveries
- Degradation of the product and waste
Our heating strategy is designed to prevent these issues before they even start and monitor transportation to ensure your product is delivered in the best possible condition.
How You Benefit From In-Transit Heating
Especially during the busier seasons, the timing of shipments and deliveries is particularly crucial to stay on track in production. We understand that any delays or mishandling of products can result in halted production and lost revenue.
Armada works with chocolatiers and confectionery producers across Canada, as well as with food manufacturers that handle cocoa butter, palm oil, and liquid waxes. Our in-transit heating systems are the best solution for shipping between facilities, thanks to our commitment to maintaining product quality and on-time delivery.
