Cold
Storage for Produce and the PermaTherm Advantage!
PermaTherm's insulated
panel systems, offer technology utilized in institutional cold storage to
the farm. PermaTherm insulated panels are ideal for a number of
applications including keeping fresh produce at its fresh best. Whether you
need to cool produce, poultry, beef, shellfish or floral products, our
panel systems are more effective than traditionally-constructed coolers or
freezers, as our metal insulated panels cool products quickly, reduce
heat loss and improve product shelf life.
We
spoke with a prospective client recently who was interested in using cold
storage panels to refrigerate his produce - his neighbor was utilizing our
heat-resistant insulated panel systems to cool his crops and our prospect
became curious about how our panels could improve the life of his yield.
His cooling methods were not as effective as his neighbor's - he compacted
his products and covered them with ice on the bottom and the top, which
damaged the crops in the middle, as they cooled much more slowly than they
would have in a thermally-controlled insulated metal panel system. His
neighbor, on the other hand, picked his cabbage, stacked it within his
temperature-controlled cooler, and cooled his crops quickly and evenly to
35 degrees, resulting in less waste and/or damaged products, a longer
product shelf-life and bigger profit margins.
PermaTherm's
cold storage panels offer superior thermal efficiency, reducing thermal
bridging (heat loss) that conventionally-constructed buildings often face.
Unlike traditional construction methods, insulated panel systems do not
have gaps in the insulation, enabling the coolers, freezers and
refrigerators to quickly remove the field heat out of produce, so products
are shipped in a much better quality and condition.
