Refrigerated Storage System for Grapes: Long-Time Freshness at the Optimal Temperature
AsFrigocare Cooling, the refrigerated storage system for grapes that we have developed to preserve the freshness of grapes, one of the most rare products of the agriculture and food industry, is the most reliable solution partner of producers and exporters.
Grape is a delicate fruit with a high water content that can spoil quickly after harvest. If correct storage conditions are not provided, the fruit flesh becomes soft, the stems dry out and the market value decreases rapidly. Therefore, designing cooling systems with professional engineering is a strategic necessity for both quality and economic gain.

1. Why Should Grapes Be Stored in Refrigerated Storage? 🛡️
After harvesting, the grape continues to breathe as if it were on its branch. However, as it loses its root bond, this process results in the fruit consuming its own reserves.
Advantages provided by Frigocare systems:
● Stopping Moisture Loss: Prevents the fruit from wrinkling and losing water.
● Prevention of Fermentation: Stops the deterioration that may occur due to its sugary structure.
● Mold and Decay Control: Minimizes microorganism activities.
● Export Standards: It meets the "live fruit, fresh stem" criteria demanded by global markets.
2. Ideal Storage Parameters ⚙️
We calibrate our systems with the following parameters to create a microclimate specific to each grape variety:
|
Parameter |
Ideal Value |
Importance |
|
Temperature |
0°C – +1°C |
Slows down breathing and seals freshness. |
|
Relative Humidity |
90% – 95% |
Ultrasonic Humidificationensures that the stems remain green. |
|
Gas Balance |
2–5% CO₂ / 2–3% O₂ |
Sleep mode is provided with Controlled Atmosphere. |
3. Frigocare Grape Cooling Process 🔄
1. Quick Freezing (Pre-Cooling): In the first 6 hours after harvest, the internal temperature of the fruit is reduced to 0°C. This is the most critical step that stops the degradation process before it starts.
2. Stable Preservation: Products coming out of freezing are kept at constant temperature in warehouses equipped with Frigocare central cooling systems.
3. Active Humidity Management: Sensors in our systems maintain the fullness of the grains by constantly keeping the humidity level at 95%.
4. Energy Efficiency and Saving Technologies 💰
We include the following technologies in our systems to reduce energy costs:
● Inverter Compressor Technology:Reduces energy consumption by up to 30% by providing gradual cooling.
● High Insulation Panels: Sealed structures that eliminate heat leaks.
● Natural Fluid (CO2) Systems: Cooling solutions of the future that are both environmentally friendly and have low operational costs. 🌱
