Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Detailed airflow and temperature absorption analysis ensures uniform and deep cooling throughout the product mass. Suitable for both packaged and unpackaged celeriac.

Dynamic Cooling: Continuously monitors and adjusts key parameters across multiple chamber points, maintaining stable conditions 24/7 and extending storage life by 15–20% beyond standard static cooling.

Low-Airflow Cold Room with Continuous Water Circulation: Specialized for high-humidity storage, maintaining uniform moisture with less than 25 air recirculations per hour using a steady water flow.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Perform rapid pre-cooling in Dynamic Pre-Cooling Units and maintain the cold chain at all handling stages.
  • Dynamic Cooling is essential for long-term celeriac preservation.
  • Monitor CO₂ concentration: Levels above 10% (100,000 ppm) may cause off-odors, flavor alteration, and leaf yellowing.
  • Avoid storing celeriac near ethylene-producing products such as apples or pears, as ethylene accelerates deterioration.
  • Install ozone generators to control fungal growth and maintain hygiene in storage areas.
