Storage of cabbage

Ordering a vegetable storage facility on a turnkey basis from «INCOOLS», you get a modern complex for long-term and high-quality storage of cabbage. The usage of modern technologies allows creating optimal storage conditions.

TECHNOLOGY OF CABBAGE STORAGE

Fresh cabbage is a vegetable that is in demand all year round. Long-term storage of cabbage includes two main stages: cooling and main.

After harvesting, the heads of cabbage are cooled to 0.5 - 1 ° С, during further storage the temperature is kept at –1-0 ° С and the relative air humidity is 95-98%.

Like other vegetables, cabbage is stored in one way: in containers, which are placed in 4-6 tiers

The storage chamber is cooled to continuously maintain the desired cabbage temperature and maintain the necessary climatic conditions..

EQUIPMENT USED

Vegetable storage facilities

Refrigeration equipment

Refrigeration equipment is necessary for quick and effective cooling of products - this allows you storing vegetables for a long time and without significant losses. We use refrigeration equipment integrated into the ventilation system: special heat exchange equipment for vegetable storage facilities from leading foreign manufacturers.

Longitudinal ventilation system for potatoes storage

Its unique features is that the system uses outside air and supplies it to the storage facility. In most cases we use Dutch equipment. The main tasks of the ventilation system are: drying, cooling and heating products, removing CO2.

Vegetable storage facilities

Pressure drying wall

The storage system allows forcing air through the products. Under high pressure, air is supplied through a pallet hole in the container, the lower part of which is closed by plugs. Given system allows quick drying and coolling the vegetables inside the container. Advantages of the technology: the intensity of ventilation is regulated, effective cooling of products, less energy consumption, the ability to separately store products of different grades.

Dryer wall of «Reverse Action»

A zone of rarefied air (negative pressure) is created between the side walls of the containers, this allows the air flow to quickly pass through the product, drying and cooling simultaneously. Advantages of the technology: all containers are cooled evenly, the ability to store products of different varieties, effective ventilation of vegetables, minimal energy consumption.

Vegetable storage facilities

Humidification system

To avoid shrinkage of the products, vegetable storage facilities are equipped with additional air humidification equipment. This allows to preserve the high quality of the vegetable. Each type of vegetable requires the selection of customized equipment to avoid the appearance of water drops in the atmosphere of the storage facility and on vegetables.

Storage management system

Specially developed software allows monitoring the work of the entire vegetable storage facility. The system makes it possible to regulate the atmosphere in the storage facility depending on external and internal factors. The program notifies of changes, errors, critical temperatures and allows to change the parameters of storage facility remotely.
