PRODUCE COOLING (AGRICULTURAL)
Use: Vegetable and fruit cooling using ice and/or chilled water.
Reducing temperature of produce yields the following benefits:
Reducing temperature of produce yields the following benefits:
 |
Extended life of produce(improved preservation) |
|
|
Maintain quality and appearance of produce |
|
|
Maximize weight retention of produce ( Revenue enhancement) |
Solutions: Water chilling of produce reduces the field heat in newly harvested crops and will drop temperature of processed material (cut up or blanched ) prior to final packaging. Icing of produce for storage and shipment allows the removal of field heat as well as maintaining produce quality during transit. Ice is also used for display purposes at point of sale to an end customer.
TURBO equipment application:
Ice makers(C series / Tig / Tigar), rake storage bins (CB and Automatic Rakes ), Pneumatic delivery systems(Blower, rotary valve and control systems) for delivering ice to various locations in a field processing facility. USDA approved equipment. HTD plat fluid chillers for water chilling. The chilled water is then used for direct contact with the vegetables as they exit the field or as they are further processed. This equipment is USDA approved.
