A multiple commodity cold storage is a facility designed to store different types of products — such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, seafood, and dry products — under separate temperature and humidity-controlled chambers within the same complex.
* Efficient utilization of space by storing diverse products
* Flexibility to switch chambers as per seasonal demand
* Reduced operational costs by consolidating storage
* Extended shelf life for a wide range of commodities
Products with similar storage requirements are grouped in dedicated chambers. Each chamber is independently controlled for temperature, humidity, and airflow to ensure that the storage of one commodity does not affect the quality of another.
Blue Cold designs chambers with customized conditions, generally ranging from +15°C (for ripening rooms) down to -25°C (for frozen storage). This ensures compatibility with a wide variety of perishable and frozen goods.
No. Perishables such as fruits and vegetables require positive temperature storage (0°C to +15°C) with high humidity, while meat and seafood require freezing conditions (-18°C or below). They are stored in separate chambers within the same facility.
Key factors include:
* Market demand and commodity mix
* Chamber-wise storage capacity
* Energy efficiency and insulation quality
* Refrigeration system selection (Ammonia or Freon)
* Location and logistics convenience
Blue Cold provides both Ammonia-based and Freon-based systems. Ammonia is preferred for large-scale, energy-efficient operations, while Freon systems are suitable for medium and small-scale facilities.
We use advanced compressors, high-quality heat exchangers, and automated controls to reduce energy consumption while ensuring reliable operation across different chambers.
Yes. Existing single-commodity storages can often be retrofitted with additional chambers, separate cooling systems, and insulation upgrades to accommodate multiple products.
Capacities can range from 1,000 MT to over 10,000 MT, depending on customer needs. Blue Cold customizes designs as per the required chamber sizes and product mix.
Routine maintenance includes:
* Checking refrigerant levels and system efficiency
C* leaning evaporator and condenser coils
* Inspecting insulation and door seals
* Ensuring chamber controls are calibrated for specific products
