15 categories and 34 system types — from cold rooms, blast freezers and refrigeration plant to reefer transport, monitoring, doors and racking. Choose a system, then send one request: the ColdMatch team reviews it and contacts suitable suppliers on your behalf.
Every cold store, from a single room to a distribution centre, is built from the same parts. Use this table to check that your request covers each one; backup power is sized with the backup generator calculator.
| Part | What it does | What to specify | Catalog guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulated envelope | Keeps heat and moisture out of the cold space. | Internal size, panel thickness by temperature, floor insulation for frozen rooms, fire class required on site. | |
| Refrigeration plant | Removes the heat load: compressors, condensers and the refrigerant circuit. | Duty in kW per temperature zone, refrigerant preference, redundancy (N or N+1), design summer ambient. | |
| Doors and dock equipment | Controls warm-air entry where product moves in and out. | Door sizes, openings per hour, heated frames for frozen rooms, dock levellers and seals. | |
| Racking and handling | Turns volume into usable pallet positions. | Pallet size and count, racking type (selective, drive-in, mobile), clear height, forklift type. | |
| Controls and monitoring | Holds set points and records temperatures for audits. | Alarm contacts, data logging interval, remote access, any GDP or food-audit record requirement. | |
| Freezing, ripening or pre-cooling (if needed) | Changes product temperature quickly rather than holding it. | Product, kg per hour or batch, entry and target temperature, cycle time. |

Refrigeration equipment cannot be organic. What matters for certified organic produce is that the cold chain keeps organic lots separate, identified and free from non-permitted substances. This collection covers segregated cold stores, controlled-atmosphere fruit storage, pre-cooling and lot traceability; certification stays with the operator and its certifier.

Premium here means a system specified with features you can verify in a supplier's offer: natural refrigerant or documented efficiency measures, heat recovery where heat can be used, redundancy, calibrated monitoring with audit trail, and full commissioning documents. It is a set of selection criteria, not a brand tier or a performance promise.
Describe the product, tons per day, pallets, temperature, climate, refrigerant and safety, redundancy, country and energy supply. The assistant suggests catalog items and questions for you to review — it never sends anything, and it does not give prices, certifications or availability. A free sign-in is needed to use it.
34 of 34 system types

Do you need a room inside a building, or a building designed around refrigeration?
Does the product need to be chilled quickly, or frozen through to the core?
Should the cold store be prefabricated, or built on site as part of the building?
Which natural refrigerant suits your site, loads and local competence?
Which pre-cooling method suits your produce and packaging?
Is a container a temporary answer or the right long-term storage?
How does your product arrive — in batches, on a line, or in flat packs?
Or tick “Compare” on up to three systems above to build your own side-by-side view.
Pallet positions, stacking and internal room size from your product volume.
Cooling capacity for holding and pull-down so refrigeration offers start from the same load.
A planning budget range from ColdMatch's published baseline — not a quote.
Standby power to keep stored product safe during grid outages.
Shows which project details are still missing before you request quotes.
Calculator results are planning estimates to make your request specific; prices come only from supplier responses.
These four get mixed up in searches and in RFQs, but each is scoped and sized differently. Name the project type first, then brief suppliers in the unit that fits it.
One insulated room, often built inside an existing building, cooled by packaged or split refrigeration units.
Sized by: Internal volume (m³) or pallet positions, plus daily product intake.
A whole temperature-controlled building: insulated envelope, several temperature zones, loading docks, racking and usually a central refrigeration plant.
Sized by: Pallet positions per zone and daily throughput (pallets in and out).
Equipment that freezes product quickly: batch blast rooms or tunnels, or continuous IQF freezers for individual pieces. It sits before frozen storage; a store holds product that is already frozen.
Sized by: Kilograms per hour or tonnes per day, with product entry and target temperatures and freezing time.
A refrigeration system type, not a building type: a central plant using ammonia (R717) that can serve warehouses, processing halls and freezers.
Sized by: Refrigeration duty in kW for each temperature level, at stated site conditions.
Whichever type it is, the refrigeration plant that serves it is compared on industrial refrigeration systems.
ColdMatch does not provide engineering design. Refrigerant choice, charge limits, machinery-room design, pressure-system examination and hazardous-area assessment are set for each site by a competent refrigeration engineer under the rules that apply there.
