Agricultural produce cold storage
Cooling that protects freshness.
Metalex Cryogenics engineers industrial ammonia refrigeration systems for fruits, vegetables, potatoes, onions, pack houses, pre-cooling rooms, ripening facilities, and multi-commodity cold stores across Indian operating conditions.

Why produce needs engineered cooling
Produce storage is not just a room. It protects harvest value.
In agricultural cold storage, the refrigeration system must control pull-down, holding temperature, airflow, humidity, loading pattern, and service uptime. Poor selection can cause weight loss, quality drop, uneven cooling, and higher power bills.
Designed for fruits, vegetables, potatoes, onions, pack houses, pre-cooling rooms, and multi-commodity stores.
Selection around commodity type, storage temperature, humidity target, daily loading, and seasonal peak demand.
Stable operation for long holding periods, dispatch cycles, and Indian high ambient conditions.
Service-friendly compressor, condenser, vessel, valve, control, and safety integration.
Fresh produce + cold chain
Agricultural applications
One cold chain can serve many produce duties.
Metalex helps plan the refrigeration architecture based on crop type, room size, loading profile, target temperature, humidity needs, and expansion plan.
Application 01
Fruits & vegetables cold rooms
Cooling for fresh produce where temperature stability, airflow, humidity, and fast recovery after door openings matter.
Application 02
Potato, onion & bulk crop stores
Storage support for seasonal harvest loads, long holding periods, controlled ventilation, and energy-aware plant operation.
Application 03
Pack house, pre-cooling & ripening
Refrigeration planning for produce receiving, pre-cooling, staging, banana / fruit ripening, and dispatch readiness.
System design approach
Selected from the crop, not from guesswork.
Agricultural refrigeration must be selected from real operating data: commodity, tonnage, incoming temperature, desired pull-down time, holding condition, humidity, room layout, loading pattern, and local ambient conditions.
Information needed for a proper produce storage selection.
Use this as a pre-RFQ checklist. Better input data helps the team recommend the right compressor capacity, condenser type, vessel sizing, controls, and plant architecture.
Share these details with Metalex.
Even rough numbers are useful at enquiry stage. The final selection can be refined after load calculation and site discussion.
Total MT, room-wise capacity, crate / pallet layout, and daily loading quantity.
Temperature
Incoming temperature, target pull-down temperature, holding temperature, and pull-down time.
Humidity / airflow
Humidity target, ventilation requirement, air distribution preference, and door opening pattern.
Room data
Room size, insulation thickness, floor / wall details, doors, loading dock, and site layout.
Utilities
Power availability, water availability, ambient conditions, plant running hours, and backup plan.
Existing system
Compressor model, refrigerant, condenser type, room sizes, current issues, and service history.
Project stage
New plant, tender stage, immediate replacement, capacity expansion, retrofit, or service requirement.
Agricultural produce FAQ
Common questions before cold storage selection.
Commodity, total MT, incoming temperature, target holding temperature, humidity requirement, room size, insulation, daily loading, door opening pattern, ambient condition, utilities, and expansion plan.
Yes, but the plant must be planned carefully because every commodity can have a different temperature, humidity, ventilation, and storage duration requirement. Room-wise zoning and controls are important.
Ammonia systems are commonly used for industrial-scale refrigeration where efficiency, capacity, and long-duty operation matter. Final selection depends on safety planning, plant size, operator capability, and site requirement.
Yes. The page is structured for cold rooms, pre-cooling rooms, pack houses, ripening rooms, dispatch storage, expansion, retrofit, and service support requirements.
Common focus areas include ammonia piston compressors, condensers, refrigeration vessels, evaporators / air units, controls, valves, safety accessories, and complete refrigeration packages.
Humidity affects weight loss, freshness, shrinkage, and product appearance. The refrigeration system should be planned with correct airflow, coil selection, room layout, and control philosophy.
The page positions the solution around Indian plant realities such as high ambient temperature, dust, variable loading, seasonal peak demand, service access, and spare support.
