China cold storage solution provider
When sourcing a -25°C freezer for meat, seafood, or frozen food distribution, most suppliers talk about “price per square meter.”
Smart buyers ask:
“For my budget, how many export pallets can I freeze—and how long will my system run reliably in 45°C ambient heat?”
Here’s a realistic breakdown of what a -25°C cold room actually costs—and delivers—in today’s global market.
📏 How Much Can You Really Store?
A -25°C freezer is typically used for long-term frozen storage. Capacity depends on layout and product density:
| Product Type | Pallet Load (20ft container equivalent) | Tonnage per 100 m² (5m height) |
|---|---|---|
| IQF seafood / meat blocks | 30–35 pallets | 22–26 metric tons |
| Frozen vegetables / ready meals | 35–40 pallets | 25–30 metric tons |
💡 Example: A 500 m² (-25°C) freezer with 5m height = ～2,500 m³ volume → stores 750–900 pallets (≈550–680 tons).
💰 Turnkey Investment (USD)
All systems include:
- 150–200mm PU insulated panels (B1 fire-rated, stainless steel or aluminum cladding)
- Low-temp refrigeration: Bitzer/Screw compressors, R404A or CO₂ system
- Evaporators: DD/DL series low-temp fan coils with defrost control
- Digital monitoring: Remote alarms, temperature logging, backup power interface
| Facility Size | Total Cost (USD) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Small (100 m² / ～80 tons) | 45,000 | Local butcher, small seafood processor |
| Medium (300 m² / ～250 tons) | 105,000 | Regional distributor, export packer |
| Large (600 m² / ～500 tons) | 280,000 | National cold chain hub, meat exporter |
✅ Turnkey includes: engineering, panels, refrigeration, electrical, installation, commissioning
❌ Excludes: land, concrete slab, utility connections
Systems are designed for high ambient temperatures (up to 48°C) and 24/7 operation
