What is Cold Storage Planning According to Tonnage?

Planning according to tonnage; It is the determination of the most suitable volume according to the total weight (tons) of the product to be stored, the product type, the packaging type and the circulation need.

Thanks to this professional planning:

●     Unnecessary large warehouse investment costs are avoided.

●     The cooling system (compressor and evaporator) is selected at full capacity.

●     Energy efficiency is maximized.

●     Product shelf life is optimized.

How to Calculate Cold Storage from Tonnage to Cubic Meters? 🧮

As a general rule, the cold storage volume required for 1 ton of product varies between 2.5 – 4 m³ depending on the product type.

Product Based Volume Table (For 1 Ton):

●     🥩 Meat and Meat Products: 3 – 3.5 m³

●     🐟 Seafood: 3 – 4 m³

●     🍏 Fresh Fruits & Vegetables: 3.5 – 4 m³

●     🥛 Milk and Dairy Products: 2.5 – 3 m³

●     📦 Frozen Products: 3 – 3.5 m³

📌 While calculating these values; rack system,pallet spacing and air circulation spaces must be included in the plan.

7 Critical Factors to Consider in Planning 🏗️

1.   Product Type:Thermal loads of products such as Meat (-18°C), Fruit (0/+4°C) are different.

2.   Daily Circulation: The product tonnage entering and leaving the warehouse daily determines the door selection and device capacity.

3.   Cold Room Shelving Systems: Allows you to use vertical storage space efficiently.

4.   Cooling System Selection: Split, Central or Natural Fluid (CO2) system options.

5.   Insulation Quality:80-120 mm thick cold room panels are the key to energy saving.

6.   Moisture Balance: To prevent weight loss Ultrasonic Humidification Spromptsmust be used.

7.   Future Capacity Expansion: Modular planning of investment facilitates your future growth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❓

●     Question: How many m³ should a 100-ton cold storage have? Answer: Although it varies depending on the product type, an average volume of 300 – 400 m³ is required. With the right shelving system, this space can be used much more efficiently.

●     Question: How can the energy cost be reduced as the tonnage increases? Answer: Unit energy cost can be reduced by using central cooling systems and high-density insulation panels.

●     Question: Can different products of different tonnages be stored in the same warehouse? Answer: Yes, but multi-zone designs should be made to prevent the products from passing odor to each other and for different temperature needs.
