CSafe’s RKN protects temperature-sensitive life-science products during air cargo shipments around the world. It offers unparalleled precision and temperature assurance with intelligent programming and patented VIP insulation technology. Combined with a radiant heating and compressor-driven cooling system, the CSafe RKN autonomously recirculates conditioned air throughout the cargo chamber to encapsulate the payload and provide an optimal layer of protection from temperature risks associated with long-duration shipments in extreme ambient temperature conditions.
CSafe Global combines proven experience with best-in-class quality performance, and has successfully and safely transported thousands of life-enhancing shipments across the globe, commanding unmatched levels of confidence in the CSafe RKN.
