Cost & Capacity Overview
For a 700 m³ cold storage project, the investment and capacity depend mainly on temperature and application.
- Estimated Total Cost: $28,000 – $42,000
- Storage Capacity:
- Fruit & Vegetables: ~140–175 tons (4–5 m³ per ton)
- Meat / Frozen Food: ~175–230 tons (3–4 m³ per ton)
- Temperature Range:
- Fresh-keeping: 32–41°F (0–5°C)
- Frozen: -0.4°F to -13°F (-18°C to -25°C)
👉 This size is ideal for small to medium businesses, distribution centers, and processing facilities.
Typical Cost by Application
The same 700 m³ cold room can have very different costs depending on usage:
Fresh Produce Cold Storage
- Estimated Cost: ~$28,000
- Used for fruits and vegetables
- Lower temperature requirements → lower cost
Food Frozen Storage
- Estimated Cost: ~$35,000
- Used for meat and frozen food
- Requires stronger refrigeration system
High-Spec Cold Storage (Pharma / Chemical / Explosion-Proof)
- Estimated Cost: ~$42,000
- Higher safety and precision requirements
- Specialized equipment increases cost
Meat Aging / Processing Cold Room
- Estimated Cost: ~$35,000
- Controlled temperature and humidity
- Used for meat processing and storage
Where Your Investment Goes
A 700 m³ cold storage system typically includes:
