Cold storage is the most efficient technology for bulk storage (above 3000/3500 Liters or 800/1000 Kgs) of perishable items - mainly fruits, vegetables, flowers, dairy products, meat, fish, processed foods, pharma & other essential items between production and sale. It keeps such things fresh by maintaining an appropriate low temperature which does not allow the growth of microorganisms that might spoil the product. Cold storage has a wide range of applications from short term storage to long term storage across various segments like agriculture, pharma & food industry. The consumption of FMCG products has grown dramatically in a society overpowered by globalization. FROZCULINA, based in Mumbai, provides the best customized cold storage refrigeration system and cold room services pan India. There are several advantages to using cold storage for perishable commodities, and it is cost-effective because of the following reasons:
- 1. Perishable Products will have an Extended Shelf Life.
As the name indicates, cold storage stores perishable products at lower temperatures than expected. It may be done in various modes. Warehouse refrigeration and controlled environment storage keep post-harvest products as fresh as possible. Most cold storage refrigeration systems include settings to ensure optimal temperature regulation, and in many cases, humidity also plays a significant role. The cold storage technique allows seasonal fruits that can only be grown for a few months to last longer, making it cost-effective.
- 2. Cost-efficient
One of the significant benefits of bulk cold storage (for storage volume above approx. 3000 Ltrs /800 Kgs) is that it is compared to conventional refrigeration equipment (deep freezers/visi coolers). Cold rooms occupy less space and have lesser power consumption – making them the most cost-effective solution. Cold Rooms help us do away with the daily procurement, logistics and stocking duties & cost.
- 3. Temperature Regulation
Cold storage can attain temperatures below air-conditioning (+18 °C to as low as – 80 °C). Based on the product & the storage period, the cold room temperature is recommended, and a customized system is designed accordingly. For applications like chocolate storage, a few pharma products, mushrooms and fruit ripening, a temperature range from +15 °C to + 26 °C is generally maintained in the cold rooms. For major pharma products, fruits & vegetables, flowers, dry fruits, dairy products, etc., the temperature range of + 2 °C to + 8 °C maintains for long term storage. For frozen products, ice cream and non-veg products, a temperature range of – 18 °C to – 24 °C is maintained. So, based on the product and the storage period, team FROZCULINA recommends the ap test refrigeration solution, which will be cost-effective, both for capital and running costs.
- 4. Product transportation and portability
All companies that require their products to be preserved and transported at low temperatures benefit greatly from portable cold storage units. Poultry, dairy products, frozen goods, and other items must be moved from storage to distribution and retail outlets, which cannot be done at average temperatures. Such products can deteriorate and become unmarketable even with minor temperature changes. Safe transportation of life-saving drugs & other essential perishable items would not have been conceivable without this method. It will improve the overall cost-effectiveness and help in value addition, thus growing your business.
- 5. Inventory or Space management
Managing wholesale products can be difficult, but it's considerably more difficult for perishable, temperature-sensitive items. Perishable goods are difficult to stock in retail businesses since they take up a lot of space. Storing all of those items in one location simplifies inventory management and makes it easier to keep track of sales and purchases. The products are stored in the cold room to follow First-In-First-Out, which may not be the case with most conventional refrigeration equipment. Temperature and environment are also easier to control in cold storage than in traditional equipment (since they are standard factory-made products, no customization for dimensions, temperature & or humidity can be achieved at the site).
- 6. Unique Solar Cold Room
FROZCULINA also offers a unique solution to the electricity problem Cold Room customers face, especially for Pharma & Agro industries in the rural areas. It is cost-effective because of the new intermediate technology used for higher capacity storage at a lesser cost than the conventional solar cold rooms. Using this solar cold room, the agro & pharma produce wastage can be reduced and also, the farmers can ask for a better rate for their produce in the market, thus increasing their profitability. Thus, while selecting the cold room size, it is essential to consider the incoming product load, total storage capacity & future expansion. Also, depending on the product load, it is crucial to select an optimum refrigeration unit with some standby options depending on the product & also the running cost. If you want proper technical expert advice & customized turn-key solution for your cold room set-up, FROZCULINA Tech Services would be happy to serve you.
