Modular Cold Rooms

Blue Star's Banana Ripening Chambers allow you to:

• Design your installation to suit your capacity requirement
• Reduce wastage and increase profits
• Plan the timing of your produce output and avoid seasonal variations
• Ensure hygienic and food-grade handling of your produce
• Deliver uniform colour and taste due to controlled ripening
• Enjoy higher realisation of your produce
• Reduce operating costs and optimise initial investment
   

Our cutting-edge components:

• Reliable, energy-efficient refrigeration units
• High-efficiency PUF insulated panels which are lead-proof
• Doors that keep the outside atmosphere out and controlled conditions in
• Timer-based electrically operated ventilation systems and exhaust fans
• High CFM evaporators to ensure uniform airflow inside the chamber
• Gas-emission systems for flexible, large-scale ripening processes
• Ethylene generators for sequential ripening solutions
• Humidifiers to maintain high humidity throughout the ripening cycle
• CO₂ and ethylene analysers to monitor carbon dioxide levels*

* Optional

Gas-Emission Systems
The gas-emission systems are designed to be safe, fast and precise in their ripening processes. Moreover, they come with features that make them the first choice for professional ripening facilities.

Salient Features:

• Safe: 5% ethylene - 95% nitrogen mix generated
• Flexible system: Single system can feed multiple ripening chambers
• Intelligent microprocessor controller: Ensures precise ethylene generation
• Independent settings: Allows ripening of different fruits at the same time in each chamber
• Intelligent control: Allows independent levels of generation in each chamber
• Programmable: Desired conditions programmable as pre-sets through the touch screen
• Controller: Also programmable to generate ethylene at fixed intervals
   

Ethylene Generators
The stand-alone ethylene generator is ideal for ripening situations where the process is sequential rather than simultaneous. They provide a constant and controlled supply of ethylene into the ripening chamber, by converting a specially formulated ripening concentrate into ethylene.
 

Salient Features:

• Portable: Can be easily shifted from one chamber to another.
• Simple and fast: Just pour in Ethanol II and Ethylene is produced.
• Safe: No danger of explosion, as long as instructions given are followed.
   

Multi-Compressor Control
The multi-compressor systems can be handled by the same controller and can set individual parameter controls like temperature, pressure, etc.

Efficient Operation
Our highly efficient banana ripening chambers provide prompt notifications for any operational issues, including equipment failures or set point changes.

HACCP Provision (Optional)
The Banana Ripening Cold Rooms also come with an HACCP provision. This feature helps identify and prevent hazards from contaminating the food.

BMS Compatibility (Optional)
The BMS compatibility feature of the Blue Star Banana Ripening Cold Rooms is extremely beneficial since the RS485 makes external computer connectivity and remote monitoring possible.
 

The efficiency, hygiene, and life of a cold room depend on the panels and accessories that go into making up the structure. Therefore, our cold rooms are constructed using pre-fabricated PUF panels designed specifically for such applications, and manufactured to international quality standards and reliability at our state-of-the-art facilities.

These panels are packed with advanced high-density foamed-in-place PUF to ensure high-efficiency insulation and a metal finish (a choice of aluminium, pre-painted steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel or Galvalume).

Modular in nature, these tongue and groove panels are designed in a range of thicknesses and dimensions and interlock with ease on-site to form cold rooms of any size and for any application. Each part of the cold room – walls, ceiling, floor, doors and even T-walls and corners – have special panels designed to ensure the perfect fit.

These modular cold rooms can be easily disassembled too and moved when required, or even enlarged or split into multiple rooms as later needs may demand.

A range of options and accessories ensure that the entire cold room supplements the efficiency and ruggedness of the PUF panels:

• Flush-fit doors: Aesthetic, efficient, heavy-duty flush-fit doors with FRP door perimeter
• Cam lock: Posi-lock locking assemblies that provide perfect alignment of walls, ceiling, floor, corners and door frames
• Hardware: Heavy-duty cast alloy handles and hinges with attractive brushed-chrome finish
• Heated air vent: Tri-action heated air vent to eliminate pressure and vacuum variations inside the walk-in cold room
• Interior and exterior ramps: Ramps allow ease of movement of material without damage to the floor
• Sweep gasket: Airtight heavy-duty sealing gasket below door with a double sweep, remains flexible at any temperature
• Posi-seal closure: Closing door cushion, making it noiseless and firmly shut

• Vapour-proof light fixture: Trouble-free lighting within the cold room

   

  This wide range of world-class panels and accessories ensures that Blue Star's cold rooms are air-tight, hygienic, highly energy-efficient and built for a lifetime.
