Increasing quality expectations in fresh fruit and vegetable consumption around the world and the importance of product availability at the same standard throughout the year have led to the rapid spread of atmosphere-controlled warehouses.
Frigocare Refrigeration has a structure that can produce all critical components, including doors, for atmosphere-controlled cold stores. It offers these systems, which are seen as the solution of the future in fresh fruit and vegetable storage, on a turnkey basis, together with highly insulated panels, ultrasonic humidification devices, sensitive humidity sensors and other auxiliary equipment.
Atmosphere-controlled warehouses, which increase the storage time by 2-3 times for many products such as apples, pomegranates, grapes, pears and kiwis, enable producers to offer their products to the market at the most affordable price level. This both preserves quality and allows the producer to utilize his labor more efficiently.
The main reason why some products such as apples in developed countries are sold at high prices in international markets is the correct storage strategy rather than production. Thanks to atmosphere-controlled cold storage, the product maintains the freshness of the day it was harvested for months. On the other hand, many producers are forced to sell their products at low prices due to quality losses resulting from traditional storage methods, and in some cases, the product cannot even reach the market.
Atmosphere-controlled storage eliminates these losses, ensuring long-term preservation of high quality products and significantly increasing the competitiveness of the manufacturer.
