Why Refrigeration is Essential in Farming
Refrigeration is a cornerstone of effective post-harvest management in the farming sector. The perishability of fruits makes it crucial to implement efficient cooling methods right after harvest. Our systems slow down respiration rates, inhibit microbial growth, and reduce enzymatic changes that contribute to spoilage. This not only preserves the quality of the produce but also ensures that it meets market readiness.
Many fruits, particularly berries like strawberries, are harvested before they reach their peak ripeness. Our controlled refrigeration environments allow these fruits to ripen optimally, ensuring they are market-ready when they arrive at retailers. Additionally, our cold storage solutions enable farmers to store their harvests longer, facilitating a year-round supply and better price control. With our agricultural refrigeration systems, you can confidently manage your produce and maintain its integrity until it reaches consumers.
Agricultural Refrigeration Solutions
At DN Refrigeration Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of agricultural refrigeration solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of the farming industry. Our offerings include:
Cold Storage Rooms
We provide custom-built cold storage rooms, tailored to the specific dimensions required by your operation. These rooms come equipped with advanced temperature and humidity controls, ensuring that your produce is stored under optimal conditions. We also offer optional zoning for different types of fruits, allowing you to manage various produce types effectively.
Pre-Cooling Systems
Our pre-cooling systems are essential for maintaining the quality of freshly harvested produce. We offer:
- Hydrocoolers for delicate fruits like berries and cherries, providing rapid cooling to preserve freshness.
- Forced-Air Coolers that are perfect for crates and boxes, enhancing airflow to ensure uniform cooling.
- Vacuum Cooling systems, ideal for leafy produce, which is sometimes used in berry logistics to maintain quality during transport.
Controlled Atmosphere (CA) and Modified Atmosphere (MA) Storage
We implement CA and MA storage solutions that regulate oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen levels. This technology slows down respiration and decay, significantly extending the storage life of fruits from weeks to months, depending on the variety.
Refrigerated Containers and Trailers
For on-site temporary storage or transportation, our refrigerated containers and trailers are invaluable. They help maintain the cold chain from farm to warehouse or retailer, ensuring that your produce remains fresh throughout the journey.
Energy-Efficient Systems
We are committed to sustainability and energy efficiency. Our systems utilise variable speed compressors, natural refrigerants (such as CO₂ and ammonia), and solar-powered options for remote farms, helping you reduce your carbon footprint while saving on operational costs.
Our agricultural refrigeration solutions are designed with your business in mind, ensuring that you can effectively manage your produce while adhering to the highest safety and quality standards.
