Ripening and Pre-Cooling Coolers
Differential pressure coolers for forced-air pre-cooling and ripening rooms. Air is drawn through the stacked load instead of around it, so fruit at the center reaches temperature with fruit at the face. Bananas ripen at 57 to 63°F and avocados at 68 to 75°F. The room has to hold the number the fruit needs.
Best for Banana and avocado ripening rooms and forced-air pre-cooling of packed produce.
Differential Pressure Cooler
Low profile, four fans firing downward, EC motors and a coated fin block, with a reversible fan plate.
Ripening Room Cooler
Low profile, four fans set into the top panel and a tall aluminum fin block, to keep ceiling height for product.
Configurations
Forced-Air Pre-Cooler
High airflow through a stacked load in a low profile housing, so field heat comes out of the whole pallet together.
