A 3,000 m2 cold-chain logistics warehouse has been completed, providing food cold-chain logistics between major Chinese cities — transportation, storage and sorting under one roof.
Multi-temperature by design
The facility uses a multi-temperature-zone design to serve diverse food product lines. A distribution operator rarely controls what its customers ship; the building has to accept frozen, chilled and controlled-ambient goods in whatever proportion arrives that week.
Sorting is a refrigeration load
Transit and sorting operations generate heat and open doors constantly. Sizing the plant for storage volume alone underestimates the real load; door traffic, forklift heat and the sorting area itself all have to be counted.
Throughput over volume
- Dock and door selection sized for the movement rate, not the pallet count
- Separate plant staging per temperature zone
- Layout that keeps sorting traffic out of long-term storage aisles
- Logged temperature history across zones for customer assurance
For larger distribution facilities, see the 50,000 m3 two-stage Wuhan Xinpu project in our case studies.
Quick Answers
What does this facility handle?
Food cold-chain logistics between major Chinese cities, including transportation, storage and sorting.
Why a multi-temperature design?
A distribution operator receives frozen, chilled and controlled-ambient goods in varying proportions and needs separate zones to serve them.
How is the plant sized for a sorting operation?
Door traffic, forklift heat and the sorting area are counted in the heat load alongside the storage volume.
