★ Meat Cold Storage

Meat cold storage (chilled meat storage, frozen meat storage) is suitable for the processing, retail, and wholesale of meat, seafood, and poultry. Frozen meat products must be transported and stored at -18℃ or below. Poultry should be stored in airtight packaging at -18℃ or below to prevent fat oxidation, dehydration, and the growth of spoilage bacteria.

★ Features of Meat Cold Storage

Hygienic: Panel options include color steel and stainless steel, non-toxic, odorless, rust-proof, and compliant with national standards

Excellent insulation: Composite wall panels, lightweight, high strength, corrosion-resistant, insect-proof, and non-toxic

Energy-efficient and low-noise: Imported/domestic compressors, low energy consumption, low noise

Intelligent control: Fully automatic microcomputer, digital display, automatic temperature control, no manual operation required

★ Frozen Meat and Freezing Rate

Freezing speed determines meat quality:

Slow freezing (0.1–1 cm/h): Quality deteriorates

Moderate freezing (1.1–5 cm/h): Acceptable

Rapid freezing (>5 cm/h): High quality, low weight loss

Taking half a pork carcass as an example, freezing from 0–4℃ to -18℃ within 20 hours yields the best quality. Internationally, forced-air blast freezing is widely adopted, with a freezing temperature of -23℃ and an air velocity of 0.5–2.0 m/s, reaching -15℃ in deep muscle within 24 hours. With technological improvements, this can be shortened to 12 hours.

Advantages of direct freezing process:

Time saving: More than 50% saved compared to pre-cooling followed by freezing

Reduced weight loss: Approximately 88% lower than non-direct freezing

Energy saving: 17.6 kW·h saved per ton of meat

Reduced building area: Cooling rooms can be omitted, reducing area by 30%

Labor saving: Approximately 50%

★ How Much Does It Cost to Build a Meat Cold Storage

Pricing factors: Where it is built, requirements for the refrigeration unit, preferred brand, and panel material. The more detailed your requirements, the more accurate the quotation.
