China cold storage solution provider
For meat processors in Nigeria, seafood exporters in Vietnam, or ready-meal manufacturers in Saudi Arabia, a -35°C blast freezer isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Rapid freezing locks in texture, flavor, and safety, especially for export-grade products.
📏 Storage Capacity: How Many Tons Fit in a -35°C Blast Freezer?
Unlike chill rooms, blast freezers store dense, palletized frozen goods. Industry standard:
1 metric ton of frozen food occupies 4 – 4.5 m³
(Includes pallets, cartons, and airflow space for effective -35°C circulation)
So, always convert volume → tons using this ratio—not just floor area.
Example:
- A 200 m² blast freezer with 5m clear height = 1,000 m³
- Storage capacity = 220 – 250 metric tons
💰 Real Turnkey Cost (USD) – Based on Global Projects
| Floor Area | Volume (m³) | Storage Capacity | Total Investment (USD) | Cost per m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 m² | ~500 m³ | 110 – 125 tons | 62,000 | 620/m² |
| 200 m² | ~1,000 m³ | 220 – 250 tons | 120,000 | 600/m² |
| 500 m²+ | ~2,500+ m³ | 560 – 630+ tons | 290,000 | 580/m² |
✅ What’s included:
- 200mm PU insulated panels (rated for -40°C)
- High-capacity low-temp refrigeration system (Bitzer/Refcomp compressors)
- Forced-air evaporators for rapid heat exchange
- PLC-based temperature control & alarms
- Installation, commissioning, and operator training
Note: Costs are lower at scale due to equipment efficiency. All figures reflect actual Haocool projects in tropical climates (e.g., UAE, Indonesia, Kenya).
🌍 Real Use Cases from Target Markets
Case: Surabaya, Indonesia – Seafood Exporter
- Need: Freeze 100 tons of shrimp within 4 hours for EU shipment
- Solution: 180 m² × 4.6m = 828 m³ blast freezer
- Capacity: 180–210 tons
- Total Cost: $103,000
- Result: Achieved HACCP compliance; reduced ice crystal damage by 40%
🔑 Why Cost per m² Is Misleading (And What to Focus On)
Many suppliers quote “$600/m²”—but that doesn’t tell you:
- Can it really hit -35°C core temperature in under 4–6 hours?
- How many tons can you actually process and store?
- Will it survive 45°C ambient temperatures without breakdowns?
At Haocool, we design blast freezers for high-heat, high-humidity environments—so your operation never stops, even in Dubai summers or Jakarta rainy seasons.
