Building efficient and economical apple storage systems

When it comes to the construction of apple storage facilities, we are your competent partner you can rely on. With over 50 years of experience in cold storage and industrial construction, we offer customized solutions that are tailored to the specific requirements of apple storage. Innovative technology combined with an in-depth understanding of our customers' needs ensures that the quality of the stored apples is optimally maintained.

The correct storage of apples is important for ensuring quality and the economic results of the business. The quality and freshness of stored apples depend heavily on the conditions under which they are stored. Improper storage can cause the apples to spoil more quickly and lose their texture and flavor. It is therefore crucial to use the right storage technique for the intended use.

Here are some of the different storage techniques you should consider when building an apple store:

  • - NA (Normal Atmosphere) storage: Allows for a simple refrigerated apple storage environment. The ripening process is slowed down, but does not enable long-lasting storage.
  • - CA storage (Controlled Atmosphere)Controlled atmosphere to extend the shelf life of pome fruit such as apples.
  • - ULO storage (Ultra Low Oxygen)Further development of CA storage with extremely low oxygen content to minimize the ripening process.
  • - DCA storage (Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere)Dynamic control of oxygen and carbon dioxide content for optimum storage conditions.

The shelf life of apples in CA storage can be between 1 and 10 months without any major loss of quantity or quality. In order to create the best possible storage conditions, you should observe the ideal storage conditions:

  • - TemperatureBetween -1 °C and 6 °C, depending on the fruit and variety.
  • - HumidityRelative humidity of 90-95 %.
  • - Oxygen contentMostly 2-3 %.
  • - Carbon dioxide content2-5 %, depending on the fruit and variety.
