Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
Storage temperature: -0,2° to 0,5° C

Pre-cooling: Air cooling
Sensitivity to ethylene: High
Ethylene Production: Very low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Dynamic Pre-Cooling (Low-Pressure / Wet-Bulb Chambers): Specialized pre-coolers ideal for unpackaged vegetables immediately after harvest. They maintain precise humidity and create low-pressure conditions for rapid temperature drop.

Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Custom-engineered airflow and absorption time ensure uniform temperature distribution, even in packaged produce.

Dynamic Cooling: Regulates and maintains ideal conditions across the entire cold room volume 24/7, extending storage life by 15%–20% beyond standard expectations.

Enhanced Cold Room: A flexible setup that allows existing storage rooms and refrigeration equipment to serve dual roles — first for light pre-cooling, then for long-term preservation.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Dynamic Cooling is essential for maintaining cabbage freshness and extending storage life.
  • Pre-cool rapidly in high-suction or low-pressure wet-bulb pre-coolers, and maintain the cold chain at all handling stages.
  • Keep the outer leaves during storage to protect the head — remove them just before packaging.
  • Remove ethylene using proper ventilation or ethylene absorbers.
  • Install ozone generators to prevent fungal growth and maintain hygiene.
  • Install ozone generators to prevent fungal growth and maintain hygiene.
  • Maintain moderate CO₂ levels — they help preserve product quality and shelf life.
