Technical Key Points
(3) Scale and Specifications ① Storage Capacity: 100-5,000 tons. ② Variety of Stored Products: Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, cauliflower, green peppers, and various other fruits and vegetables. ③ Floor Area: 150-10,000 square meters. Based on storage capacity, 1 square meter of floor area can store 0.7-10 tons of produce. ④ Construction Type: As the cold storage relies on natural cooling sources, the construction cost can be significantly reduced depending on the site conditions, particularly in colder climates or areas with accessible caves. ⑤ Management Staff: Due to the absence of complex refrigeration equipment and the automatic temperature regulation, a storage facility for 100-5,000 tons of produce requires only 2-8 staff members.
(4) Applicable to the preservation and storage of fruits and vegetables in cold regions such as the northern part of our country, this facility can also be used for storing animal products like fish and meat in cold areas such as Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang.
Daily Management and Maintenance Methods & Precautions for Fresh-Keeping Cold Storage
Refrigerated cold storage is closely related to our daily lives. The fresh vegetables and pork we buy at the market are definitely stored in cold storage. Therefore, the environmental maintenance and management of the cold storage interior are quite important. Below, I will briefly introduce the aspects to be managed and maintained, as well as the specific maintenance methods.
In summary, how much per square meter for a flash-frozen cold storage? The main purpose of the cold storage is to prevent odors from developing inside. It requires regular de-molding and sterilization, and periodic inspections to identify the causes of odors. Below, we'll delve into a detailed introduction.
1. Cold Storage Mold Removal, Sterilization & Disinfection: The cooking ingredients and food stored in cold storage contain a certain amount of fat, protein, and starch. The presence of these nutrients allows for the rapid growth of mold and bacteria. To maintain the hygiene of cold storage and ensure the quality of stored food and ingredients, regular sanitization and disinfection are necessary. The mold removal and sterilization of cold storage can initially be done with acidic disinfectants, which primarily sterilize by coagulating proteins within the bacterial bodies.
Materials and main equipment for cold storage
1. Frozen Storage Installation Quotation, Insulation Materials & Vapor Barrier A, Foshan Frozen Storage, Panels: Pre-manufactured with fixed length, width, and thickness, available in various sizes according to storage requirements. High and medium-temperature storage usually uses 10 cm thick panels, while low-temperature and freezing storage typically uses 12 cm or 15 cm thick panels; B. Polyurethane Spray Foam Material: This material is directly sprayed onto the warehouse to form water-resistant and good-insulating polyurethane panels, but it is costlier. C. Polystyrene Spray Foam Material: Similar to polyurethane, this material forms polystyrene boards via spraying, has stronger water absorption, and poorer insulation compared to polyurethane, but is more cost-effective. D. As insulation materials lose their insulating properties when damp, a vapor barrier should be added to both sides of the insulation panels, or only the outer side can be done. The vapor barrier is usually made of asphalt, felt, plastic coating, plastic film, or metal sheets.
