Seed Potatoe pull down and long term Storage
Project description
- Full turn key 6000 Cubic Meter cold room and refrigeration plant supply.
- 2 Stand alone simplex Freon refrigeration units for full redundancy on cold room.
- Six such room supplied to client to date.
- Receiving freshly harvest seed potatoes to be stored for the following years harvest season.
- Plant operates at high load to pull down potato temperature within days.
- Then plant "unloads" to increase humidity while maintaining low room temperature.
- Room fitted with automated extract fans to purge fresh produce Ethylene and CO2 gas build up periodically.
- Forced ambient defrost function to prevent icing up without adding significant energy and
capital costs.
- The latest generation rooms come with false cielings for better air distribution, an old
practice that was forgotten but still holds good value.
These rooms cannot afford any downtime, potentially leading to premature seed sprouting and as such these cold rooms come with early warning alarms and full standby capacity so that we can ensure the potatoes remain in hibernation until planting season.
These boards allow for remote standby and full temperature and plant status monitoring.
Alarm system to improve reliability and prevent failures of plant.
The choice when reliability and servicibility are of paramount importance.
These boards allow for remote standby and full temperature and plant status monitoring.
