Fruit and Vegetable Cold Storage Rooms

Fruit and vegetables are perishable foods, so it is very important to store them at the right temperature and humidity. Fruit and vegetable cold rooms prevent spoilage and keep products fresh. Our expert teams design and install cold rooms in the sizes our customers need, with energy-efficient cooling systems, as turnkey projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what temperature should fruit and vegetables be stored?
It depends on the product. For example, our catalog gives −1 / +4 °C for apples and 15 °C for bananas.

Why does humidity matter?
Products with a high water content can wilt quickly during storage, so room humidity must be controlled to suit the product.

Do you work on a turnkey basis?
Yes. We design and install fruit and vegetable cold rooms as turnkey projects.
