China cold storage solution provider
When storing meat, seafood, or frozen goods long-term, a standard fridge won’t cut it. You need a dedicated frozen storage cold room operating at -18°C—the global standard for safe, stable frozen preservation.
But before you build one, you need answers to two critical questions:
✅ What’s the total cost?
✅ How much product can it actually hold?
📦 Storage Capacity: How Much Can You Store?
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Floor Area | 50 m² (e.g., 5m × 10m) |
| Ceiling Height | 3.0 m (standard) |
| Total Volume | 150 m³ |
| Estimated Storage Capacity | 25 – 30 metric tons of frozen meat or seafood |
Based on standard cartons (10–15 kg each), stacked 6–7 layers high with proper airflow. Ideal for beef cuts, chicken, shrimp, or frozen fish blocks.
This setup is perfect for butchers, seafood processors, small exporters, or restaurant distributors needing reliable frozen inventory.
💰 Total Investment: What You Actually Pay
A fully installed, turnkey 50m² frozen cold room at -18°C—including insulation, refrigeration, controls, and doors—typically costs:
23,000– 28,000 USD
✅ This is a complete, operational system—no hidden extras.
Key System Specifications:
- Insulation: 150mm (15 cm) polyurethane (PU) panels — optimal for -18°C in hot climates
