F&V Cold Storage Service
Fruits & vegetables cold storage — built around your commodity
- Commodity-specific heat-load and humidity design
- Ante room and air-curtain to limit ice formation
- Daikin-engineered refrigeration with data-logger

Typical applications
Operating Temperature
−1°C to +13°C (commodity-specific)
Relative Humidity
85–95% RH typical
Engineering note
Apple & kiwi can also use CA storage for long holding.

How HyperCold Designs This Cold Room
These are the design factors we lock down before quoting. Skip any of these and the project either runs hot, drinks electricity, or under-delivers on shelf life.
Commodity compatibility
Never mix ethylene producers (apple) with ethylene-sensitive produce (leafy greens, kiwi) in the same room.
Humidity & airflow
85–95% RH for most fresh produce; gentle, even airflow to avoid dehydration and weight loss.
Ante room
Reduces heat ingress at every door open and helps maintain interior humidity.
What Drives the Project Cost
We don't quote square-foot rates — every build is BOQ-priced. The factors below decide where your project lands within a realistic range.
- 01Room volume (CFT) and panel thickness
- 02Target temperature band and ambient design conditions
- 03Refrigeration brand and capacity (TR)
- 04Floor type (PUF + chequered Al vs heated)
- 05Door type, ante room, electrical and DG backup
- 06Civil work and site readiness (Extra)

Scope split — what we deliver, what your site provides
Clear scope upfront avoids the most common project-cost surprises. Items marked "subject to" are finalised after technical site evaluation.
HyperCold scope
- Heat-load and refrigeration sizing (BOQ-based)
- PUF panel manufacturing at our Firozabad plant
- Refrigeration unit supply, piping, charging and leak test
- On-site panel erection, door fitting and commissioning
- Control panel, sensors and data-logger (where applicable)
- Operator handover, AMC kick-off and warranty documentation
Client / site scope
- Civil work — floor, walls, foundation, plinth (subject to final site inspection)
- 3-phase electrical supply up to the project room (load to be confirmed after technical evaluation)
- Earthing pit, MCB / RCCB at the LT panel side
- Water supply for installation and cleaning
- Site access — crane / hydra movement, internal pathway and unloading zone
- Any local permissions (fire NOC, FSSAI, pollution clearance) — subject to scheme guidelines
Common mistakes we help clients avoid
Most of these surface only after commissioning, when fixes are expensive. Catching them at quotation stage protects both shelf life and capex.
Mixing incompatible commodities
Apple (ethylene producer) and leafy greens or kiwi (ethylene sensitive) in the same room shortens shelf life for the sensitive crop. Plan separate chambers when both are stored long-term.
Ignoring humidity
Holding fresh produce at the right temperature but only 60–70% RH causes weight loss, shrivelling and reduced grade. F&V rooms typically need 85–95% RH.
Skipping the ante room to save cost
An ante room cuts heat ingress on every door open and reduces ice formation on the evaporator — savings on electricity usually recover the capex.
Under-sizing electrical supply or skipping DG backup
Cold rooms run year-round. A weak LT supply or no DG plan turns every grid outage into a spoilage event.
Treating subsidy as a guarantee
Subsidy eligibility depends on project type, beneficiary category, scheme notification and department verification. Plan financials independent of subsidy approval.

How HyperCold Fruits & Vegetables Cold Storage compares
Indicative comparison between a typical local fabricator approach and an engineered HyperCold build. Final scope is confirmed after site inspection.
| Build factor | Typical local fabricator | HyperCold engineered |
|---|---|---|
| Sizing basis | Square-feet thumb rule | Heat-load worksheet per commodity & ambient |
| Panel & skin | Generic PUF, mixed skin | PPGL / GI both sides, 40 ± 2 kg/m³ PUF, cam-lock |
| Refrigeration | Locally sourced, no brand commitment | Daikin / Bitzer / Emerson — sized to TR |
| Documentation | Single-line quote | Line-item BOQ + DPR aligned to subsidy norms |
| Controls & data | Mechanical thermostat | Carel / Danfoss digital with data-logger |
| Handover & AMC | Verbal warranty | Written warranty, SLA-backed AMC, spares planning |
