How Much Does It Cost to Build a 1,000-Ton Poultry Egg Cold Storage?

A poultry egg cold storage is typically designed for a temperature range between 0°C and 10°C, which can be adjusted depending on the type of eggs being stored. Compared with frozen storage, egg cold rooms focus more on stable temperature, gentle airflow, and low dehydration, ensuring egg quality and shelf life.

Based on Haocool’s engineering experience, the construction cost of a 1,000-ton poultry egg cold storage generally falls within a clear and predictable range.

Typical investment cost:

• USD 150,000 – 210,000 (turnkey construction)

The final cost may vary depending on room layout, refrigeration brand, automation level, and zoning requirements.

From a capacity perspective, poultry egg storage follows a common engineering reference:

• 1 ton of eggs ≈ 5 m³ of cold storage volume

Therefore, a 1,000-ton egg cold storage requires approximately:

• Total volume: ~5,000 m³
• Design height: 4 meters
• Estimated floor area: ~1,250 m²

This layout allows forklift operation, palletized storage, and efficient daily in-and-out logistics.

In a standard configuration, such a cold storage facility is equipped with:

• Medium-temperature refrigeration systems (0–10°C)
• Ceiling-mounted air coolers with optimized airflow direction
• PU insulated panels matched to chilled storage requirements
• Reinforced insulated flooring suitable for continuous handling operations

Under these conditions, the facility can stably store 1,000 tons of poultry eggs, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, and other edible bird eggs.

If higher specifications are required—such as:

• Dividing the warehouse into 3–5 independent temperature zones
• Using imported Bitzer (Germany) compressor units
• Adding intelligent monitoring or redundancy systems

the overall investment cost will increase accordingly. These upgrades are usually chosen by large-scale distributors and export-oriented egg producers seeking higher operational stability.

From a commercial standpoint, investing in a dedicated poultry egg cold storage helps operators reduce spoilage, extend market supply cycles, and improve logistics efficiency.
