Cold storage slows down bacterial growth and spoilage, helping berries retain their freshness, color, and nutrients. Since berries are highly perishable, maintaining the right temperature and humidity is crucial to extending their shelf life.

1 °C to +5 °C
Berries store best at this range depending on the type. It helps maintain firmness while preventing freezing damage. Precise temperature control ensures optimal freshness during storage and transport.

Strawberries and cherries can last up to 7 days, while raspberries and blackberries typically last around 2–3 days. With advanced cold storage, berries can stay fresh longer without losing quality.

Maintaining 90–95% relative humidity is essential. It prevents dehydration, keeps berries plump, and avoids shriveling, which can otherwise reduce both market value and consumer appeal.

By maintaining stable conditions, cold storage reduces spoilage, bruising, and microbial damage. This not only lowers wastage but also increases profitability for farmers, distributors, and retailers.

Modular units suit farms and packhouses, portable units work well for temporary needs, while blast freezers are ideal for quick chilling before long-distance transport.

Modern cold storage units are designed with hygienic, food-grade interiors. They have smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and proper ventilation, ensuring berries are stored in compliance with food safety regulations.
