Refrigerated warehouses and containers preserve perishable goods during transit or storage. Without adequate temperature control, these items can quickly succumb to decomposition or bacterial and fungal growth. Below are a few common types of cold storage options that will keep your goods at the optimal temperatures and prolong their shelf life. 

3 Examples of Cold Storage

1. Refrigerated Containers

These containers can be used for pharmaceutical goods, frozen food products, and botanicals. Because they come in a variety of sizes, this cold storage option is popular and cost-effective. They are also available in different styles, including mobile refrigeration and reefer containers. Each unit offers a wide selection of temperatures so items can be kept as cold as required.

2. Blast Freezers & Chillers

If your business needs to rapidly cool and store food before it’s available for purchase, blast freezers and chillers are the refrigeration solution. Catering companies and restaurants often use these when they prepare food in advance, but want to maintain the quality of the ingredients. These freezers are available in portable or wide units.

3. Cold Rooms

Cold rooms in an onsite facility or a refrigerated warehouse are perfect for safely storing temperature-controlled items in bulk. These spaces slow down the decomposition of perishable goods that may not fare well in standard refrigeration units. For instance, textile companies that work with wool, fur, or leather need to keep these materials cold and dry to prevent rot. Also, florists may keep flowers in a cold room to prolong the shelf life of botanicals.
