Applications

When Summer months get hot and muggy, keeping your beer cool isn’t just a problem for the BBQ warrior on their back porch. Beer manufacturers know how difficult it is to get that beer to their customer’s cooler tasting just as good as it did when it left the brewery.

Protecting shipments from extreme temperature fluctuations during transit is vital to maintaining the product quality that your customers expect. And while shipping dry intermodal is economical, it can be risky during the cold season when winter storms emerge and during the hot season when local temperatures vary widely.

We created the Astro-Assure Intermodal Website to help our customers plan shipments and anticipate weather challenges. With the tool, you can see the forecast along your route and more confidently take advantage of dry intermodal during seasonal extremes.

Astro-Cooler has always assembled our quality, Passive Thermal Protection products in-house. We began by using rolls of material purchased from both domestic and overseas manufacturers, but it soon became clear that we wanted more flexibility and speed than they could deliver. So, we invested in specific extrusion technology to produce our own material and now control the entire process - from manufacturing to assembly, right here at our facility in Sacramento, CA.
