  • Setting Up a Cold Storage Business in Dubai
  • Tue 10 Mar 2020 | By : admin
The UAE has a very hot climate with desert air. The extreme heat makes it necessary for every foods & beverage company to store their goods at maxim temperature of +25 °C, to preserve the freshness and quality of food products and no side effects on the health of end user. The way we consume food has changed a lot nowadays. Keeping food in the consumable state for longer periods has become possible after refrigeration technology was introduced. Food & Beverage companies need industrial cold storage solution to maintain the freshness and quality of the food products to achieve better shelf life.

What is a Cold storage Business? Let’s understand the concept of Cold Storage and what all factors come under it:

All food products have distinctive cold storage techniques. To install correct storage facilities, the characteristics of the food product need to be kept in mind. The cooling environment should be adequate enough to make sure that it remains fresh, be stored for long durations, and for minimum product loss and energy consumption. Cold storages are the reason behind delivering fresh and high-quality food products to consumers. The storing of the products in cold storage between their production and consumption is highly important. Cold stores are large rooms, which are designed for the storage of food where climatic values, such as temperature and humidity are taken under control.

Types of Cold Storage:

  • Potato and Onion cold storage Room
  • Red Meat cold storage Room
  • Fish and Seafood cold storage Room
  • Poultry cold storage Room
  • Bakery Cold storage Room
  • Milk and Milk Products cold storage Room
  • Citrus Cold storage Room
  • Fruits cold storage Room
