Using Cold Rooms for Farming & Agriculture

MTCSS have designed and built chiller and freezer cold rooms for farms across the UK. Our expert team work with you to offer a bespoke cold room design which suits your individual requirements and your unique farming and agriculture processes.

Within the farming industry, one of the main priorities is producing large volumes of high-quality produce for your customers. Cold rooms are used within the farming industry to help maintain product quality and increase revenue, as well as their level of customer satisfaction.

There are many applications for cold rooms in farming, which means that we have a range of bespoke walk-in chillers and walk-in freezers that can be designed to your specific requirements!

Cold Rooms In The Farming Industry

Chiller cold rooms do exactly what they say on the tin; chill your products and produce. They maintain temperatures of between +1⁰C and +8⁰C by combining optimal insulation levels with our high-quality refrigeration systems.

By keeping your fresh produce in a chiller cold room, it helps increase the shelf life and maintain the best quality produce possible – as a result, making the farm to table process more efficient.  Product quality is particularly important within the farming industry, so a temperature-controlled solution is the perfect option for this. 

Chiller cold rooms aren’t just used to store products – they can also be used for the preparation of fresh products!

The MT food safe cold room panels used to build walk-in chillers are the ideal solution for preparation and packing areas, as they ensure your product will be prepared in an easy to clean space with optimal insulation. 

The same can be said for freezer cold rooms, except they work to maintain negative temperatures from 0⁰C down to -40⁰C, insulated perfectly to store and preserve your products. Using a walk-in freezer to preserve your products is both effective and efficient.

Freezing products, such as fruit and vegetables, to be sent directly to a supermarket benefits both you and the environment – reducing the amount of wastage by preserving the product for longer means you won’t lose and profit, as well as ensuring the quality is high for your customers. 

Whether you need to store and prepare your fresh produce or fresh meat, our team can design and build a cold room to fit your requirements. 

Farm Shops:

Farms and farm shops also rely on cold rooms and other cold storage solutions to maintain the high quality of the products they produce and sell on a daily basis. Without an efficient temperature-controlled solution, the produce on offer to customers could perish.

Fruit, vegetables, dairy products, raw and cooked meats and so much more are the types of food that are typically found at your local farm shop. Naturally, these need to be kept at the right temperature at all times.

This means a reliable cold room could be the difference between your business offering a high-quality product and a poor-quality product.

We’re experts when it comes to all thing’s food cold storage – from walk-in chillers to freezer cold rooms, we have the specialist knowledge to provide a bespoke cold room solution to exceed your business’ expectations. 

Benefits Of A Cold Room For The Farming Industry

1. Longevity of Fresh Produce

Fruit, veg and fresh meat that are stored in cold rooms at the optimal temperature deteriorate less quickly, reducing the growth of bacteria and therefore preserving the quality of the product for longer.

2. Access Requirements

The usage of farming vehicles and heavy machinery are often used, and so need the ideal to accommodate for the movement of products.  

MTCSS can offer high-speed doors and roller shutter doors to suit your exact requirements – allowing your vehicles to transport pallets or large quantities effectively and with ease. 

High-speed and roller shutter doors by Nergeco open and close “just-in-time”, meaning you don’t even have to get out of your vehicle!

Our cold rooms can be customised to the exact size, temperature and humidity requirements you need to achieve. By adhering to the exact criteria you need to meet, this allows us to design a cold room that best benefits your business and therefore your customers. 

As well as temperature and humidity controls, we can also customise your cold room with a range of accessories to benefit you; cold room shelving solutions to help you organise your stock, various storage options to reduce clutter, and even LED lighting!
