Cold Chain Knowledge Center

GDP + WHO PQ cold storage design: +2/+8 °C and −20 °C zones, N+1 redundancy, 21 CFR Part 11 monitoring, mapping and validation.

IQF tunnels, blast freezers and −25 °C storage for shrimp, salmon and whitefish exporters — throughput, refrigerant and HACCP/BRCGS decisions.

Slaughter-to-storage cold-chain design: primary chill, blast freezing, cutting-room climate and halal/EU segregation for meat & poultry exporters.

Design multi-temperature distribution centres for QSR, retail and 3PL: ambient / +2 °C / −18 °C / −25 °C zones, ASRS options and energy strategy.

Forced-air pre-cooling, hydro-cooling, vacuum-cooling and controlled-atmosphere storage for fresh produce exporters — reduce post-harvest losses.

Design port-adjacent multi-temp cold hubs with reefer plug yards, blast tunnels and DFI-financed capacity for seafood, produce and pharma exporters.
