The Technology That Eliminates Post-Harvest Losses in Cherries: Karsey Industry Cold Storage Solutions
From the exact moment they are harvested, cherries enter a race against time. Due to their high respiration rate and delicate skin, they are highly susceptible to ambient heat, which triggers rapid water loss, stem browning, and quality degradation. To achieve premium market value and satisfy strict global export standards, integrating a precisely engineered cold storage infrastructure is paramount.
1. The Crucial First Phase: Rapid Pre-cooling Field heat is the primary enemy of freshly picked cherries. As soon as the harvest arrives at the facility, the produce must undergo immediate pre-cooling to rapidly drop its core temperature. This initial thermal shock slows down the fruit's metabolism and dramatically extends its potential shelf life.
2. Precision Microclimate Management: -0.5°C and 95% Humidity Cherry preservation leaves zero room for error. The internal room temperature must be strictly maintained between -0.5°C and +0.5°C. Furthermore, preventing weight loss and keeping the stems vibrantly green requires a constant relative humidity level of 90% to 95%. Karsey Industry’s cooling systems ensure these tight parameters are met flawlessly without fluctuations.
3. Superior Insulation: High-Density Polyurethane Injection Panels Standard insulation alternatives or rockwool materials fail to deliver the rigorous thermal performance required for high-humidity fruit storage. At Karsey Industry, we utilize a specialized, unheated polyurethane pressure injection system over custom molds rather than relying on standard continuous lines. These high-density polyurethane injected panels eliminate thermal bridging entirely, prevent moisture absorption, and lower operational energy expenses while maximizing structural longevity.
4. Absolute Airtightness: LIVADOOR Systems The most vulnerable component of any industrial cold room is its entrance. Our custom projects feature premium LIVADOOR brand industrial door systems. Equipped with heavy-duty perimeter gaskets and specialized structural frame heaters to prevent freezing, LIVADOOR doors seal the environment completely during loading cycles, blocking external warm air infiltration.
