Vegetable Cold Storage Projects

Vegetable Cold Storage Projects

Vegetable cold storage brings together crops with very different requirements. Leafy vegetables need protection from wilting, while dry onions require lower humidity and suitable ventilation. Potatoes need storage conditions matched to their intended market, and chilling-sensitive vegetables such as cucumbers cannot simply follow the same cooling programme as lettuce.

Frigovetta Refrigeration System designs, manufactures and installs vegetable storage facilities for growers, packing houses, processors and distributors. Our turnkey cold storage solutions are planned around the crops handled, daily arrivals, packaging and expected time before dispatch.

Rooms Matched to Your Crops

A mixed vegetable facility needs a clear plan for which products can share a room. Temperature, humidity, ethylene compatibility and handling schedules all influence chamber allocation. Separate rooms can accommodate incompatible products while allowing receiving and dispatch resources to be shared.

Cold room refrigeration systems are selected for the agreed cooling and holding duties. Where crops require curing, drying or dedicated precooling, those stages are assessed separately and included only within the defined project scope.

From Harvest to Customer Orders

The layout should connect incoming produce with inspection, storage and order preparation. Bulk bins, retail packs and palletised cartons each affect access and airflow. Cold room evaporators are positioned around the intended loading arrangement, while cold room panels form the insulated chambers.

For busy handling routes, sliding cold room doors can provide access suited to the loads and equipment. Room sizes and door positions are coordinated with the packing operation so that stored produce remains accessible as daily orders change.

Share your crop list, peak intake, arrival temperatures and storage programme to develop a vegetable cold storage project suited to your operation.
