Pre-cooling
Hydrocoolers and rapid cooling tunnels to remove field heat as soon as the harvest arrives.
Refrigeration for fruit and vegetables
Pre-cooling, storage and freezing that extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables, from harvest to market.

Understand the process.
Define the solution.
After harvest, every hour without cooling shortens the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. We design pre-cooling systems, storage rooms and freezing for packing houses and processing plants.
Applications and requirements
Storage rooms
Cold rooms at the temperature and humidity each product needs, supplied from a machine room.
Freezing
Freezing tunnels for diced or whole fruit and vegetables, at the pace of the processing line.
Before selecting equipment
Decisions that guide the project
Your operational conditions define the design. These are the key aspects to review from the start.
- Products, volumes and harvest season
- Inlet temperature and cooling times
- Storage temperature and humidity for each product
- Available space and planned expansions
Tell us what you need to solve.
What does your packing house or plant need to keep the harvest in better condition?
To get started, you can share:
- The process or facility and its location.
- Current situation and project objective.
- Existing equipment and available operating data.
- Current stage and desired scope.
You do not need a complete RFP to start a conversation.
