What is a Cold Storage Warehouse?
A cold storage warehouse is a temperature-controlled facility designed to preserve perishable goods by maintaining precise cooling conditions. These warehouses are essential for food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other temperature-sensitive products, ensuring quality, safety, and extended shelf life.
Key Features of a Cold Storage Warehouse
✅ Temperature Range:
Chilled Storage: +2°C to +8°C (dairy, fresh produce, vaccines)
Frozen Storage: -18°C to -25°C (meat, seafood, frozen foods)
Ultra-Low Freezers: -30°C to -80°C (pharmaceuticals, biologics)
✅ Humidity Control – Prevents dehydration & freezer burn
✅ Insulated Panels – PUF/EPS walls for minimal thermal loss
✅ Advanced Monitoring – IoT sensors for real-time alerts
✅ Blast Freezing – Rapid cooling to lock in freshness
🔹 Food & Beverage – Meat, seafood, dairy, fruits, frozen meals
🔹 Pharmaceuticals – Vaccines, medicines, lab samples
🔹 Floral Industry – Fresh flowers & plants
🔹 Chemicals – Temperature-sensitive raw materials
Types of Cold Storage Warehouses
| Type | Temperature Range | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerated (Chilled) | +2°C to +8°C | Milk, fresh produce, vaccines |
| Frozen Storage | -18°C to -25°C | Frozen meat, ice cream, seafood |
| Controlled Atmosphere (CA) | +5°C (with O₂/CO₂ control) | Apples, pears, exotic fruits |
| Blast Freezers | -40°C (temporary) | Quick-freezing for food processing |
