Considerations Before Buying A Cold Storage Room

Considerations Before Buying A Cold Storage Room

How to choose the best cold storage for your needs can be confusing. Usually, we need to consider many aspects, such as cost, energy efficiency, maintainability, storage ability to maintain a stable temperature, etc.

Before deciding to buy cold room, there are some important aspects that must be considered, such as:

For what purpose the cold room will be used?

What is your purpose of buying a cold storage? Do you need a commercial cold storage for the hospitality industry or a laboratory cold room for the pharmaceutical needs?

An industrial cold storage not only stores produce, seafood, and pharmaceuticals, but is also used to preserve operational IT servers and equipment whose performance and durability can be negatively affected due to the heat they generate.

Hotels, food processing, supermarkets, manufacturing and the chemical industry require wide use of hard-wearing, durable cold storage that is easy to clean and maintain.

Capacity of the cold room:

How fast your stock is spent determines the capacity of cold storage you require. Your cold storage must be larger than the amount of inventory you want to keep. It must have enough space for racks, aisles for loading and unloading large quantities of goods, airflow, etc. The volume of the product, the distance between walls, floors and ceilings – all these aspects need to be considered.

Temperature range required in the cold room:

You need to be aware of the different temperature ranges required to store different products. For example, items that need to be kept for a short period of time, such as fruit, vegetables, cooked meat, milk, sauces, cream baked goods, etc.must be stored at a temperature around 3°C-12°C to reduce the activity of microorganisms.

Meat, raw seafood, and some dairy products require a temperature range of -3°C-4°C. For long-term storage of raw materials such as chicken, desserts, solidified veggies, pasties, breads, etc the temperature needs to be kept between -5°C -20°C.

Applicable voltage for cold storage：

Cold storage is an industrial facility with large power. In fact, under normal circumstances, the power supply of the cold storage needs 380V. If the cold storage area is small and the unit power is not very large, 220V power supply can be used. However, due to the different power supply conditions around the world, it is necessary to choose the appropriate cold storage according to the local applicable voltage.
