Description
- This invention relates to an insulated packaging system.
- Expanded or extruded polymer foam materials are often used to provide insulation in temperature controlled packing systems. These materials can be extruded, injection moulded or processed by other means to create complex 3D shapes. The insulation provided by these materials is directly proportional to the thickness provided. However, the thermal insulation properties of these materials are limited, meaning that to achieve greater temperature differentials a very thick packaging is required, which can be costly and can make the packages excessively large for the insulated volume within.
- It is an object of the present invention to address at least one of the above or other disadvantages. It is a further aim to provide a packaging system that has a reduced external volume whilst providing a given thermal insulation level.
- According to the present invention there is provided a thermally insulating packaging system and method of forming the same as set forth in the appended claims. Other features of the invention will be apparent from the dependent claims, and the description which follows.
- According to an exemplary embodiment there is provided a thermally insulating packaging system comprising insulated walls surrounding an internal cavity, wherein at least one of the faces of the packaging system is insulated with a first type of thermal insulating material and the remaining faces of the packaging system are insulated with a second type of insulating material.
- In the exemplary embodiments, the first insulation material is a vacuum insulation material. Here, the vacuum insulation material may form a Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) having a substantially constant thickness. The VIP is fitted to a body or frame, which in the exemplary embodiments is formed by a single piece of the second insulation material. Here, the second insulating material is a shaped insulating foam such as an expanded or extruded polymer foam material or the like that can be formed or machined into a complex shape having varying wall thickness. The frame provides a support for the VIP. The support provides a contact surface for the VIP. In the exemplary embodiments, the contact surface provides a continuous, looped contact area to the VIP. For instance, the contact surface can be a ledge or the like that contacts a periphery of the VIP. The VIP is held in contact with the frame. Here, the frame can be shaped and sized so as to provide a positive holding force.

- In a particular exemplary embodiment, the first insulating material may at least cover substantially a first major face and preferably covers at least two major faces. Here, the two major faces may be opposite faces. For instance, in an example of a cuboid packaging system the first insulation material is used for the opposite, preferably upper and lower, rectangular faces thereof.
- In the exemplary embodiments, the first insulation material may be a vacuum insulation material, for example it may be a low density insulation material, which is preferably being encapsulated within a gas barrier, with the atmosphere in the gas barrier preferably being removed to form an evacuated insulation panel. The material used for the vacuum insulated material may be fumed silica or may be aero-gel. Here, the first and second major faces are insulated with first and second panels.
- In a particular exemplary embodiment, the remaining, or side faces other than the faces insulated by the first material are insulated with a single piece of material, which may form a body section, which is preferably ring-shaped, or toroidal, preferably having openings therein to receive the first type of thermal insulating material. Here, the opening is an opening to the cavity. The remaining faces of the packaging system are insulated using the second material, which may be an expanded polymer foam or may be an extruded polymer foam material.
- In the exemplary embodiments, the body section defines side walls of an internal cavity adapted to receive an item to be packaged.
- In a particular exemplary embodiment, the body section comprises an upper peripheral lip, and preferably also comprises a lower peripheral lip. The peripheral lips preferably enclose a respective upper or lower panel. Here, the body section preferably incorporates an upper shoulder section, preferably located within the upper peripheral lip. The body section preferably incorporates a lower shoulder section, preferably located within the lower peripheral lip. The or each shoulder section is preferably adapted to receive a major face of a respective first or second panel.
- A major face in the context used herein is a face having a larger area than other faces, for example a thin panel shape has two faces of substantially greater area than faces forming edges of the panel.
- For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how embodiments of the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a thermal packaging system. - A
thermal packaging system 10 comprises anouter shell 12, upper and lowervacuum insulation panels side walls 18. - In more detail, the
side walls 18 are formed as body section in a ring or toroid shape, i.e. a box without a lid or base. The material used may be expanded polystyrene foam, extruded polystyrene foam, expanded polyethylene foam, polyphenolic foam, polyurethane foam or other high insulation rigid or semi-rigid insulation material capable of being formed into a complex 3D shape. This material has the advantage of being shapeable to a desired shape for use with a particular thermally insulating packaging. - The minor faces of the packaging system are formed by the
side walls 18. Aninternal cavity 20 has a shape defined by theside walls 18. The benefit of being able to form the side walls in the chosen material allows for the shape of theinternal cavity 20 to be formed very accurately. - As mentioned above, the insulation properties of the expanded or extruded polymer foam materials used is directly proportional to the thickness of the
side walls 18. - The upper and lower
major face panels insulation materials panels panel 14/16. - As can be seen in
Figure 1 the structure of thesingle piece body 18 provides a contact surface being athin rim wall 22, to retain outer edges of the upper/lower panel 14/16 and a thickerledge wall 24, which provides a lip onto which theupper panel 14 can be placed. Similarly, although not shown, there is a ledge 24 andrim 22 into which thelower panel 16 can fit in the same way. - The
ledge 24 provides the upper andlower panels 14/16 an interface surface to provide a continuous ring of contact between a major face of each of thevacuum insulation panels 14/16 and the expanded/extruded polymer foam material of thebody piece 18. Therefore, this arrangement forms a contact surface which includes all of the edge areas of the major face of thevacuum insulation panels 14/16. - When the
lower panel 16 has been fitted within therim wall 22 at the lower end of theside wall structure 18 and contacts theledge 24 and likewise theupper panel 14 has been placed in position the structure can be placed within theexternal shell 12, the cavity is well insulated and the good interfaces between thebody piece 18 and the upper andlower panels 14/16 prevents thermal leakage between the sections. Any contents within thecavity 20 are therefore thermally insulated for shipping. - An alternative to the
external shell 12 would be to us a partial or complete enclosure in a flexible external fitting, or a feature of the shapedinsulating foam part 18 which could be used to retain the upper andlower panels 14/16 respectively, or by the use of a shrinkable or elastic part end enclosure, for example a shrink wrap around the upper andlower panels 14/16 and theside wall structure 18. - A significant advantage from the thermally insulating package described above is that the volume of the package for a given level of thermal insulation is reduced. The reason for this is that the
vacuum insulation panels 14/16 have an improved thermally insulating characteristic compared to theside wall structure 18. Thus, the overall volume of the temperature control package is reduced, because of the greater efficiency of the vacuum insulated panels. Given that shipping costs relate to the overall volume of package, it is an significant advantage that the overall volume is reduced. However, the benefit of being able to shape the side wall structure to provided a shaped package, as required for a particular item to be placed within the package has been retained. Furthermore, it will be noticed that the use of upper andlower panels 14/16 with the vacuum insulation material results in significantly shortening of one access of the overall package, which significantly reduces the shipping costs in line with the reasoning above. - Although preferred embodiment(s) of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
