Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Precisely designed systems that control temperature absorption time and air velocity to achieve uniform cooling throughout the entire product mass.

Dynamic Cooling: Continuous, multi-point digital monitoring ensures ideal and stable temperature and humidity levels across the full cold room volume 24/7, extending product life by 15–20% beyond standard conditions.

Low-Airflow Cold Room with Continuous Water Circulation: Specialized cold storage for high-humidity products requiring minimal air movement (less than 25 air recirculations per hour). High humidity is maintained through continuous water flow.

Ventilation: Requires dedicated digital control systems for the removal of respiration gases to stabilize the internal environment.

Pallet Placement: During storage, maintain 5–10 cm gaps between pallets in alignment with airflow direction to ensure uniform cooling distribution.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Pre-cool turnips using air cooling at 20–30°C within 12 hours of harvest.
  • Use high-capacity Dynamic Pre-Cooling systems to ensure rapid and uniform cooling.
  • Apply Dynamic Cooling for optimal preservation conditions and longer storage life.
  • Maintain the cold chain during all handling and transport stages.
  • Wash the produce with an appropriate disinfectant before storage to minimize microbial load.
