Installation of four state of the art Banana Ripening Rooms
Completion December 2005

We have recently completed the installation of 4 No 36 tonne Pressurised Ripening Rooms. This was an extension to the clients current facility that already houses thirty 24 tonne Ripening Rooms previously installed in addition to a two storey temperature controlled packing facility and large store.

The rooms were constructed using 100mm thick insulated PIR composite panel. Within each of the rooms we have a complex steelwork arrangement which acts as pallet support.

Full design and installation including mechanical, electrical and refrigeration was carried out in house. Cooling to the rooms was provided by a series of DX packaged condensing units provided by Airedale.

A sophisticated control system was installed offering accurate temperature control.

The timely completion of the project was vitally important as this was key to the clients operational requirements.
