Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Specialized study of airflow, cooling rate, and absorption time ensures uniform cooling throughout the product mass — suitable for both packaged and unpackaged radishes. |
Dynamic Cooling: Continuously regulates temperature and humidity across multiple chamber points, maintaining optimal storage conditions 24/7. Extends product shelf life by 15–20% compared to conventional cooling. |
Cold Room with Natural Airflow and Nebulized Atmosphere: Designed for high-humidity storage of sensitive produce, combining gentle air movement with fine mist humidification for ideal moisture retention. |
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Dynamic Cooling is essential for maintaining radish freshness and texture.
- Perform rapid pre-cooling in Dynamic Pre-Cooling Units and maintain the cold chain throughout handling and distribution.
- When using Hydrocoolers, ensure chlorinated water at 5°C for effective cooling and sanitation.
- Pre-cooling not only preserves freshness and crunchiness but also reduces energy consumption in subsequent storage.
- Use Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to extend shelf life and prevent dehydration.
