Cold rooms for cut-flower farms and exporters

Pre-cooling and cold chambers that hold cut flowers at the right temperature and humidity from harvest to airfreight, protecting vase life on long export routes.

What we deliver in this sector

  • Pre-cooling rooms
  • Cold chambers and dispatch cold stores
  • High-humidity evaporator systems
  • Standby and monitoring systems
  • Packhouse air conditioning

Cut flowers are among the least forgiving products in the cold chain. Vase life is decided in the first hours after harvest, and every hour of delay or degree of drift between the greenhouse and the airport is paid for in rejected boxes. Climafrost builds the cold chambers, pre-cooling rooms and dispatch areas that flower farms depend on, with airflow and humidity designed for stems, not for cartons of canned goods.

Flower farms run to a hard calendar of Valentine's, Mother's Day and export schedules. We plan installations and servicing around those peaks, and keep emergency engineers on call so that a compressor fault is a short interruption rather than a lost consignment.

The challenge

What floriculture & flowers operators need to get right

  • 1 Rapid removal of field heat immediately after harvest
  • 2 Holding the right temperature and high humidity without freezing stems
  • 3 Consistent temperatures through packing and dispatch to the airport
  • 4 Peak-week workloads that leave no margin for equipment failure
Our approach

How Climafrost helps

  • Pre-cooling and cold chambers sized to daily harvest volumes and peak weeks
  • Evaporator and airflow design for high-humidity holding without ice formation
  • Cold dispatch areas that keep temperature through packing and loading
  • Pre-peak service and 24/7 emergency support during seasonal peaks

Floriculture & Flowers: common questions

Most cut flowers are held at roughly 1 to 4 degrees Celsius with high relative humidity, but the right setting varies by variety. We design to your growers' and buyers' specifications.

Yes. We size for peak-week volumes and can add capacity in stages as the farm grows, without redesigning the whole system.

Yes. We plan pre-peak servicing and keep emergency engineers available through peak periods.
