Résumé

South African firm Kromco has a large fruit packing operation. Fruit is cooled in 400 kg bulk bins to -0.5 deg C, but during packing the temperature can rise to about 10 deg C and requires re-cooling to -0.5 deg C before despatch to market. Up until now, the re-cooling was carried out by a labour intensive operation of pressure cooling, with air being sucked through the cartons and requiring up to 3 days cooling for pears and apple varieties packed in plastic bags inside the cartons. With the decision taken to build a store requiring no intermediate support posts, pressure cooling after packaging had to be achieved without support posts.
