Cold-Storage Design & Construction
Precision Cold Storage for Quality Retention
Proper cold storage is not just about keeping things cold; it is about maintaining the precise environment required by specific commodities to slow metabolic processes and extend shelf life. 5 Star Refrigeration Division specializes in the design and construction of commercial and agricultural cold storage facilities, tailored to the unique heat load and humidity requirements of your operation.
Forced-Air Cooling & Hydrocooling Systems
Removing field heat rapidly is critical for high-respiration commodities. Our team designs and installs custom forced-air cooling systems, hydrocoolers, and ice-packing systems that integrate seamlessly into your post-harvest workflow. By implementing the 7/8 Cooling Rule, we ensure your produce reaches optimal temperatures in the shortest possible time.
Insulated Metal Panels (IMP) vs. Closed-Cell Spray Foam
When building a new cold storage facility, the choice of insulation is paramount. We provide expert installation of Insulated Metal Panels (IMP), offering superior R-values, structural integrity, and architectural aesthetics. While closed-cell spray foam remains an option for retrofits, IMPs are the gold standard for modern commercial refrigeration construction due to their durability and wash-down capabilities.
