Poultry Cold Storage Projects

Poultry cold storage projects connect chilled handling, freezing and refrigerated distribution for whole birds, portioned cuts and packed products. Chicken and turkey operations may move several product formats through the same facility, with different incoming temperatures, processing steps and dispatch schedules. The refrigeration layout needs to accommodate those differences from the outset.

Frigovetta Refrigeration System designs, manufactures and installs poultry refrigeration facilities for processors, packing operations and distributors. Our turnkey cold storage solutions combine insulated rooms, refrigeration equipment, access doors and agreed controls around the site’s production requirements.

Separate Processing From Storage

Post-slaughter chilling, refrigerated cutting and chilled storage perform different duties. The project brief should identify where initial chilling takes place and the condition of poultry entering each subsequent room. A store receiving already chilled packs has a different load from an area required to remove substantial heat from incoming products.

Cold room refrigeration systems are selected against these duties, while room separation and transfer routes support the processor’s hygiene plan. Raw poultry and cooked or ready-to-eat products require appropriate segregation. Interfaces with slaughter-line chilling and processing equipment are defined within the agreed scope.

Plan Chilled and Frozen Routes

Whole birds, trays of portions and cartons for frozen distribution need handling arrangements suited to their size and packaging. Cold room evaporators must serve the intended load layout, with access for cleaning and maintenance. Cold room panels provide the insulated enclosure, with junctions and finishes specified for the operating conditions.

Where products are destined for frozen distribution, blast freezer refrigeration systems can be planned around batch size, packaging and the required product temperature. Frozen holding space is sized separately to keep completed batches moving out of the blast room.

Automatic sliding cold room doors can support frequent transfers where their controls and clearances suit the traffic. To define a project, provide product formats, incoming temperatures, hourly throughput and the intended chilled or frozen dispatch route.
