Low-Pressure Pre-Cooling Chambers (Wet-Bulb Type): Specialized chambers suitable for unpackaged amaranth greens immediately after harvest. These systems control relative humidity and create a low-pressure environment, ensuring rapid and uniform temperature reduction. |
Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Precisely engineered to regulate temperature absorption time and airflow speed for both packaged and unpackaged produce. Ensures uniform cooling throughout the product mass. |
Natural Airflow Cold Room with Mist Atmosphere: A highly specialized cold room combining natural airflow with fine-mist humidification. Ideal for delicate products that are sensitive to air velocity and require high humidity stability. |
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Prefer Natural Airflow Cold Rooms with Mist Atmosphere for optimal preservation.
- Pre-cool within one hour of harvest.
- Use high-capacity Dynamic Pre-Cooling systems for uniform temperature distribution.
- Maintain the cold chain throughout all stages of transport and handling.
- Remove ethylene using professional absorbers.
- Install ozone generators to control fungal and microbial growth.
- Wash the produce using a low-residue disinfectant solution before storage.
