Cold Storage By Industry
Six sectors, six sets of failure modes. Each page below carries the real projects Howcool has delivered in that industry and the equipment those projects used.
Food Processing
Processing lines do not wait. When freezing capacity falls behind the kill floor or the packing line, product queues at ambient and the quality loss...
Fruit and Vegetable
Fruit keeps respiring after harvest. Temperature slows it down; controlled atmosphere nearly stops it. The difference between the two is measured in...
Cold Chain Logistics
A distribution cold store is judged on pallet movements, not on storage volume. Dock design, door speed and racking layout decide how much product...
Pharmaceutical and Biotech
In pharmaceutical storage the temperature record is part of the product. A chamber that held its set point but cannot prove it has still failed the...
Industrial and Special
Some cold rooms are not about food at all. Lithium battery storage, nuclear plant supplies, laboratory reagents and industrial liquids each bring a...
Export and International EPC
An exported cold store has to survive the climate it lands in, the power supply it is given, and the customs process it passes through. Those three...
Industry Questions
Which industry page should I read?
Choose the one closest to your product. The failure modes differ more by industry than by equipment, and each page lists the delivered projects in that sector.
Do you work outside these six sectors?
Yes. These six cover the bulk of our delivered work, but the EPC process is the same for any temperature-controlled facility.
Can one facility serve several industries?
Yes. Multi-temperature distribution facilities routinely hold frozen food, fresh produce and pharmaceutical stock in separate zones under one roof.

Product type, volume, temperature and location are enough for a preliminary design and a budget estimate.
