Pre-cooling Facilities

Rapid Cooling for Maximum Freshness

At Gelora Solutions, we specialize in designing and delivering modular, energy-efficient pre-cooling facilities tailored to the needs of the fresh produce and cold chain industries. Our solutions are engineered to swiftly remove field heat from perishable goods—such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers—immediately after harvest, thereby preserving quality, extending shelf life, and preparing products for subsequent cold storage or transportation.

Our facilities combine industrial performance with sustainable technologies, offering adaptable solutions for different production scales and environmental conditions.

We are leaders in blast chilling or forced air precooling, while we integrate third-parties hydrocooling and vacuum cooling solutions.

Pre-cooling Facilities

Blast chillers or forced air precoolers

We offer multiple pre-cooling configurations to match the volume, logistics, and product needs of our clients:

Suction Box

Designed for intensive cooling, ideal for high-respiration products and fast operations → 1 pallet per cycle (example 400 kg of berries from 30°C to 10°C in 20’)

FAP6,12, 20

Movable and modular, variable speed, high pressure blast chillers (forced air precoolers) from 6 to 20 pallets per cycle (example 20 ton of avocado from 25°C to 8°C in 6 hours)

Larger capacity systems are designed to specs. (example 30 tons of watermelon from 25°C to 12°C in 3 hours)

All systems are designed for rapid temperature reduction, with customizable airflow and layout integration into new or existing packhouses or logistics hubs.

Pre-cooling Facilities

Key Features:

Accelerated Cooling

Achieve optimal core product temperatures in a fraction of air-cooling time, increasing shelf life without causing chilling injuries. Being significantly faster than conventional methods with no risk of chilling injury greatly increases operational efficiency and product quality.

Optimal Airflow and Pressure Systems

The engines, blades and geometries of our blast chillers are designed to suit various crop types and volumes, ensuring uniform cooling within carton, boxes, bins and pallets. The speed and uniformity of cooling prevents ethylene generation from warm produce at the core of the pallet and greatly reduces rejections from clients, especially in the case of long journeys.

Integration Capabilities

Seamlessly connect with new and existing packhouses and logistics operations. For existing operations, the risk of chilling injuries must be checked.

Energy Efficiency

Incorporate inverter-driven and brushless engines for reduced energy consumption and reduced cost of power infrastructure.

Learn more

Portability

Options for mobile pre-cooling units that can be easily relocated as needed. (only up to 12 pallets per cycle. 12+ require more complex operations to be moved)

Pre-cooling Facilities

Benefits:

Enhanced Product Quality:

Rapid cooling reduces respiration rates and ethylene production, maintaining product integrity. Matched with our cooling system design, greatly reduces shrinkage and cuticle/skin cracking during cooling.

Extended Shelf Life:

Efficient and fast pre-cooling slows down spoilage processes, allowing for longer storage and transportation times.

Operational Flexibility:

Modular designs enable scalability and adaptability to varying production volumes.

Cost Savings:

Energy-efficient systems lower operational costs and reduce losses, rejection and claims.

Ensure your products retain their freshness from field to shelf with our state-of-the-art blast chilling and pre-cooling solutions.
