Product Description
The Cambro Camchiller is a freezable cold plate designed to maintain safe holding temperatures inside insulated food transport boxes. It is intended for use with GN1/1 and 60x40cm EPP carriers and works by absorbing heat from the food compartment once pre-frozen, extending the cold-holding window without any need for ice or mechanical refrigeration.
In practical service conditions, the Camchiller is most commonly used by catering operations that need to move chilled food between sites — deliveries, off-site events, school meal runs, or any situation where a refrigerated vehicle is unavailable or impractical. Pre-frozen overnight and placed into the carrier before departure, it provides a reliable passive cooling solution that holds temperatures for over four hours under normal conditions. It also works well as a supplementary measure when staff are frequently accessing the box during service, helping to offset the warm air exchanged each time the lid is opened.
- Freeze overnight and insert directly into the food carrier before departure
- Insulated with a food-safe freezable gel that absorbs ambient heat efficiently
- Suitable for use as a primary or supplementary cooling measure during transit
- Dishwasher safe, simplifying cleaning between uses
- Stackable design keeps storage and transport organised
There are no installation requirements — the cold plate simply needs access to a freezer capable of reaching the required freezing temperature. At 3.9kg, it adds meaningful weight to the carrier, so operators handling multiple boxes should factor this into loading arrangements. It is designed specifically to fit Cambro's own EPP transport boxes; compatibility with third-party carriers should be confirmed before purchase.
The Camchiller is well suited to small and medium catering operations running deliveries or off-site functions, food-to-go outlets, and school or care-home catering teams where passive cold-chain management between kitchen and point of service is a regular requirement. For operations moving larger volumes or requiring longer holding windows, it is worth exploring heavier-duty passive or active chilling options before committing.
If you are unsure whether passive cold plates are the right approach for your delivery or transport setup, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Under typical conditions, the Camchiller can extend cold-holding time to over four hours when used inside a well-insulated EPP transport box. Actual performance will vary depending on ambient temperature, how often the lid is opened, and the starting temperature of the food loaded into the carrier.
- The Camchiller is dimensioned to fit GN1/1 and 60x40cm EPP transport boxes from the Cambro range. If you intend to use it with a third-party carrier, you should confirm internal dimensions are compatible before purchasing, as a poor fit will reduce its effectiveness.
- The Camchiller is rated to a temperature of -24°C, so it requires a standard commercial or domestic freezer capable of reaching that temperature. Most commercial chest or upright freezers will be adequate; simply leave the plate to freeze fully overnight before placing it in the carrier.
