In order to provide our customers with the best quality for their wood pallets, Anderson Pallet and Crate offers a heat treated option, which sanitizes the wood and guarantees it is both safe and sterilized.

Why Choose Heat-Treated Pallets?

Heat treatment eliminates any organisms, such as termites, that can find a home in wood pallets. The process is accomplished by sterilizing the wood and killing any insects or larvae, which protects your products from infestation. This is especially important when you are transporting produce or other food-related products. Some of the pests that form on wood can be dangerous, and if the wood is disturbed, chemicals are released that can cause infections, allergic reactions, and long-term respiratory issues. Heat treatment can eliminate such issues. Heat treatment also decreases the moisture content of the wood, which in-turn provides superior protection for your product. If you are looking to be more environmentally conscious in your business, Anderson Pallet and Crate can help to stand you apart. Using wooden pallets and crates for product transportation is already a positive ecological step. Purchasing heat-treated pallets is another way to bring ecological awareness into your business, by stopping the spread invasive species from one area to another. This is why heat-treated pallets are required when shipping internationally.

Why do farmers spray oranges with water?

So, when a freeze is forecast for a citrus farm, the farmers often spray the trees with water. When the temperature drops, this water freezes and releases heat to its environment, some of which is the still-ripening fruit. This heat is enough to preserve the fruit inside from freezing.

wxguys.ssec.wisc.edu - How do citrus farmers battle the cold? | The Weather Guys

Last week was one of the coldest of the season in the southeast United States. Though not as bad as prior cold air outbreaks in late January or early February, such events have been known to present a substantial threat to the citrus industry in Florida. The problem is that when the temperature gets below freezing, the fruit itself can freeze rendering it substantially less valuable to the market. One of the most ingenious tricks citrus farmers can use to combat this takes advantage of the fact that phase changes of water involve substantial amounts of energy known as latent heats. Everyone knows that ice only melts into liquid water after some energy has been supplied to the ice — the latent heat of melting. In the process, the environment that surrounds the original ice becomes colder since it has been forced to spend some energy to do the melting. A classic, kitchen-ready example involves placing ice cubes in a glass of water. Two things happen — the ice melts and the original liquid water cools. The water cools because it has spent some of its energy in accomplishing the phase change. The interesting thing is that if liquid water is converted to solid ice, the same amount of energy is released to the environment — this time it is called the latent heat of fusion. So, when a freeze is forecast for a citrus farm, the farmers often spray the trees with water. When the temperature drops, this water freezes and releases heat to its environment, some of which is the still-ripening fruit. This heat is enough to preserve the fruit inside from freezing. So, paradoxically, causing ice to form on the fruit saves it from freezing.
