For commercial and industrial refrigeration projects (cold rooms, cold stores, process cooling) — not household fridges, home freezers or appliance repair. Results are planning estimates, not engineering design or safety advice; a qualified refrigeration engineer must confirm sizing before purchase.
Convert daily landings and holding days into room volume, pallet positions, refrigeration duty and an indicative CAPEX range — including ultra-low temperature tuna stores.
Seafood buyers usually need the store, the blast capacity and the ice plant quoted together — start an RFQ or review financing.
ColdMatch Group is a supplier-neutral procurement platform — not a manufacturer, contractor or lender.

Calculated in tonnes, m³, m² and kW. Imperial: 1 t = 2,205 lb, 1 m³ = 35.31 ft³, 1 m² = 10.76 ft², 1 kW = 3,412 BTU/h.
Whitefish blocks, 30 t/day held 20 days at −25 °C, 7 m building, 35 °C ambient.
≈ 72 kW holding load (≈ 20 TR · 245,000 BTU/h) and ≈ 667 pallet positions.
Illustrative planning result only. Confirm the final design, duty, equipment selection and performance with a qualified refrigeration engineer and supplier quotation.
Frozen fish stores at 400–550 kg/m³ net, so 600 t of block-frozen whitefish needs roughly 1,250–1,400 m³ gross once aisles and evaporator clearance are included. Refrigeration duty runs about 20–24 W/m³ at −18 to −25 °C and 50–60 W/m³ for −60 °C tuna stores, and indicative CAPEX is USD 450–800 per m³ for standard frozen rooms and USD 1,100–1,700 per m³ for ultra-low temperature stores.
−18 °C for general frozen fish, −25 °C for long-hold export stock, and −55 to −60 °C for sashimi-grade tuna to preserve colour.
Plan 400–550 kg/m³ net for block-frozen and bulk product, or 350–400 kg/m³ for cartoned fillets and shrimp, then divide by about 0.45 utilisation for gross room volume.
For fresh landings, yes — flake ice demand is typically 0.5–0.8 t per tonne of fish handled per day, depending on ambient temperature and haul time.
