Choosing the right industrial cold room
Selecting the most suitable industrial cold room in regions such as the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Madeira or Azores is not just a matter of capacity or size.
In these areas, extreme weather conditions and the logical challenges specific to island territories demand very specific technical criteria when selecting efficient and reliable industrial systems for the preservation of thermolabile products.
Reinforced thermal insulation
In warm climates, where outdoor temperatures can easily exceed 35ºC for several months a year, it is essential to choose cold rooms with high-thickness panels and insulating materials with low thermal conductivity.
The better the insulation, the lower the energy loss and the more efficient the equipment performance.
Cooling capacity adapted to the Environment
Not all standard systems are designed to operate efficiently in high ambient temperatures.
Industrial cold storage systems for thermolabile goods in warm climates must be dimensioned based on the average annual outdoor temperature and summer peaks.
It is also advisable for units to have oversized compressors and condensers to guarantee thermal stability even under extreme conditions.
Logistical reliability: immediate availability
In island regions, immediate availability of freezing tunnels and cold rooms may be limited.
Companies like Frío Modular offer refurbished second-hand solutions with immediate delivery and commissioning in the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Madeira, and Azores—reducing lead times and preventing production or cold chain interruptions.
Accessibility and ease of installation
Access limitations in ports, industrial areas, or rural zones on islands should be considered from the outset.
Frío Modular’s portable and modular industrial cold rooms offer significant advantages, as they can be easily transported by ferry or specialized trucks and do not require civil works for installation.
Energy consumption and efficiency
In regions where electricity is costly or supply is limited, it is crucial to prioritize energy-efficient equipment.
Systems with electronic controllers, frequency inverters, and inverter technology help reduce consumption without compromising performance.
Adaptability to different products
In both the food and pharmaceutical industries, temperature, humidity, and ventilation requirements can vary significantly.
Ensure that the chosen solution allows for flexible configuration to accommodate different production phases or changing regulatory requirements.
Beyond price
Choosing an industrial cold room for operations in island regions requires consideration of more than just visible costs.
Prioritizing energy efficiency, system robustness, regional technical support, and logistical ease is essential for making the best decision.
At Frío Modular, we offer high-performance cold storage solutions for perishable food or pharmaceutical products, backed by Dawsongroup’s guarantee, with immediate availability to keep your operations running smoothly.
