ABSTRACT:
A totally integrated and vertically ducted refrigerated product transporter comprising a combination of assembable containers and a base. Due to its ducted and diffuser configuration, the transporter is intended to maximize air flow in the shipping and processing of bananas and other perishable items. It will also facilitate processing the product directly on the base without the need for restacking boxes or for special pressurized rooms. Each container is assembled/disassembled by manually sliding ten interchangeable pieces together. The container is fully assembled and interlocked when the top piece is inserted. Assembled, each container forms a segment of duct with its top/bottom acting as diffusers to regulate air flow and to interconnect each succeeding container to form a ducted column of containers. The base supports multiple ducted columns and also interconnects with them to maintain the integrity of the transporter as a ducted unit. The base completes the full extension of the duct by channeling the air flow from the ducted columns along its ducted interior and out the front or back depending on the position of the refrigeration equipment. Air flow through the ducted transporter is possible either from top-bottom as described above or from a bottom-top supply air delivery system.
