Solution overview
The KTM21 Tower low Euro pallet is an easy to load half-height Euro pallet circular supply chain solution providing 120-hour product protection for -20°C (frozen), +5°C (refrigerated) and +20°C (controlled room temperature). Using phase-change technology it offers complete flexibility of use and requires no external power nor human intervention when operating within your supply chain.

Loading the KTM21
The KTM21 Tower “Low” Euro Pallet is ideally suited for the transportation of:
Life Science Products:
- All vaccines, including C19 vaccines and ABIs
- API & diagnostic kits
- Biopharmaceutical solutions
- Diagnostics specimen samples
- Cell lines bacteria
- Micro organisms
- Proteins and other samples and solutions

Data Logger
Data loggers are built into all Tower containers, logging internal temperatures from -95°C (-139°F) up to 50°C (122°F). Users can get text or email notification of temperature excursions, as well as automatic data downloads throughout the transit (in-flight excluded) from loggers within range of the CX Gateway device. The loggers are built to FDA, USP, EU and WHO standards.
Product Testing
Tower containers are designed to be used all year round to all destinations using one packaging instruction – avoiding extra levels of complication and uncertainty within either validation or operational control.
Global Availability
Tower’s global network operates common processes and standards delivering consistency for customers. The network offers customers access to the complete range of Tower’s products with a local team of experts available to understand specific customer needs: this ensures that Tower delivers, where and when needed.
Circular Solution
Tower cold chain recognise the role we play in working with our stakeholders to move from a linear supply chain to a circular one – providing a solution that supports our mutual ambition of waste reduction through reusability keeping our containers in use for longer reducing the need for disposal and recycling of temperature controlled packaging.
