The four major stages of China's insulated boxes

In the summer of the 1980s, popsicles wrapped in quilts, placed in wooden boxes, and sold through the streets and alleys were a great joy of childhood. Although the combination of "wooden box + quilt" is gone, the joy of childhood still continues.

According to Lin Yuxiao, chairman of Xiamen ICECON Cold Chain Technology Co., Ltd. (full text abbreviation: Xiamen ICECON), this actually reflects that China's insulated box applications have experienced improvements in quality requirements over the years following the improvement of manufacturers and end consumers. Each stage of changes and upgrades not only meets the needs of the time, but also has flaws. The "wooden box + quilt" stage is better than nothing; the "foam + water ice" stage is to sacrifice the temperature of the frozen product to ensure that the water ice does not melt, and the frozen product becomes the refrigerant; the third stage is to use injection molding or blow molding Plastic insulated boxes processed by plastic technology, but this type of product is only suitable for refrigerants that are cold storage sheets. If dry ice at -78°C is used, the box will age, become brittle and crack within a short period of time, making it impossible to reuse.

"The market is now in the third stage of maturity, and the fourth stage market still needs to be cultivated." The fourth stage mentioned by Lin Yuxiao is the plastic incubator made by the rotational molding process. This type of insulated box has a wide temperature range, personalized appearance, high durability and high impact resistance. Now, Xiamen ICECON is the largest dry ice transport box manufacturer in China, with a market share of over 40%. Next, leading products such as passive movable refrigerators with front warehouses, low-temperature milk preservation distribution boxes, ultra-low temperature vaccine transport boxes, and hybrid thermostat cabinets will also be mass-produced on a large scale.

Xiamen ICECON Cold Chain Technology Co., Ltd. is a modern intelligent manufacturing enterprise specializing in the customization and development of rotomolding thermostats and thermostat cabinets, and manufacturing large-size and special-shaped PE products using the rotomolding process. ICECON has a 32,000-square-meter comprehensive industrial park integrating R&D, design, and production. It has introduced advanced equipment from Europe and the United States, and has technical leaders and professional teams derived from the constant temperature concept of the Shenzhou-5 spacecraft.
