|
Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Engineered for uniform temperature absorption and airflow distribution, ensuring consistent cooling throughout the product mass. |
Natural Airflow Cold Room – Mist Atmosphere: A specialized storage environment where natural air circulation combined with misting maintains ideal conditions for humidity-sensitive products. |
Low-Airflow Cold Room with Continuous Water Circulation: Designed for products requiring high humidity and minimal air exchange (<25 times per hour). Humidity is stabilized by continuous water flow. |
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Pre-cool rapidly in Dynamic Pre-Coolers with high suction capacity and maintain the cold chain throughout handling and distribution.
- Avoid storing mushrooms with products that emit ethylene or strong odors.
- Maintain high CO₂ concentration, as it reduces browning and decay of caps and stems.
- Carefully manage CO₂ levels to balance preservation without inducing off-flavors.
