Temperature Controlled Containers: The Optimal Solution for Thermal Control
Temperature-controlled containers are highly technological storage solutions that allow a constant internal temperature to be maintained.
Sall thermal containers are the ideal solution for storing medium and large quantities of hazardous chemicals , materials and products that must be stored at a precise and constant temperature to maintain their characteristics and properties unchanged.
They are equipped with advanced heating , cooling , or air conditioning systems , designed to maintain a constant temperature or quickly prepare products for the production cycle. Solutions can include internal air recirculation or combinations with external air to maximize energy efficiency.
To avoid potential dangers arising from the very nature of the substances (such as flammable liquids above a certain temperature or substances that could give rise to unwanted reactions) or to maintain the properties and quality of the stored products unaltered, as in the case of easily perishable goods or medicines, rely on Sall.
Sall Containers represent the ultimate solution in terms of safety, construction, and equipment for outdoor storage, customizable according to the customer's requests.

Frequently Asked Questions about Temperature-Controlled Containers
What is a temperature-controlled container used for?
It is used to maintain a constant internal temperature for the storage of hazardous chemicals, drugs, perishable products, or materials that must retain their characteristics unaltered, avoiding unwanted reactions or degradation.
What is the difference between a heated and a refrigerated container?
The heated container maintains a constant minimum temperature using armored electric heaters, useful for preventing substances from freezing; the refrigerated container uses an air conditioning system, in a heat pump or cooling-only version, to maintain temperatures typically between 3°C and 30°C depending on the configuration.
Are temperature-controlled containers available in ATEX versions?
Yes, the equipment and/or systems (cooling, heating, ventilation, lighting, extraction, fire prevention) are available in both standard and ATEX versions for storage in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Do the thermal containers have an integrated collection tank?
Yes, as standard, but they are also available without a tank depending on the customer's needs. The tank is certified according to UNI EN ISO 3834-2:2021 to minimize the risk of accidental spills.
How many storage configurations are temperature-controlled containers available in?
They are available with both single and double storage levels, with air conditioning, heating and ventilation powers sized according to the number of pallet spaces, from 2 up to 16 spaces depending on the model.

Certified Production and Quality of a Thermal Container
The Sall production process certified UNI EN ISO 9001 together with the EN 1090, UNI EN 3834:2-2021 certifications, for the quality of the watertightness and welding, and the REI certifications for the storage of flammable substances are a guarantee of the quality and maximum level of safety of Sall products.
The UNI EN ISO 3834:2-2021 certification (currently valid standard) is essential for containers with a collection tank as it minimizes the dangers of accidental spills in the active storage of hazardous and polluting liquids contained in drums, IBCs or other primary containers.
For the management of corrosive and acidic liquids Sall offers a special internal lining for the containment tank made of anti-corrosive plastic material (PVC, PP or PE).
Temperature controlled container systems are available in both standard and ATEX versions.
All temperature-controlled containers are manufactured in compliance with current mandatory regulations and international and EU standards.
