Why Cold Room Systems Matter for Product Quality and Industrial Efficiency

A Cold Room system is a temperature-controlled storage solution designed to maintain the quality and freshness of perishable products. By adjusting internal temperatures to suit specific storage needs, cold rooms ensure that food, chemicals, or other temperature-sensitive goods remain in optimal condition—even in hot and humid climates like Malaysia.

Proven Effectiveness

According to a study conducted in Turkey, 100,000kg of pears were stored at −1°C in a cold room. The results showed that 90% to 95% of the pears remained in good condition throughout storage (Dalkilic et al., 2013). This highlights how cold rooms can significantly extend product shelf life and preserve quality.

Benefits in Tropical Climates

In tropical countries like Malaysia, cold room systems are essential. For example, frozen items like ice cream require stable low temperatures to maintain texture and flavor. Additionally, modern cold room systems are built with airtight construction to retain cold air—even during power outages—helping to maintain temperature for longer periods.

Another key benefit is cost savings. Food spoilage due to improper storage leads to waste and financial loss. By maintaining proper temperature levels, cold rooms help reduce food wastage and improve storage efficiency.

Applications Across Industries

1. Food Processing Industry

Cold rooms are widely used to preserve the nutritional value and physical appearance of processed food. Industries that benefit include:

• Sausage and nugget production

• Canned food manufacturing

• Beverage and yogurt processing

• Seafood and meatball processing

2. Commercial Industry

Supermarkets, hypermarkets, and meat retail stores rely on commercial refrigeration systems with glass doors, allowing customers to easily view and select products.

Applications include:

• Supermarkets and hypermarkets

• Convenience shops

• Meat and seafood retail outlets

3. Construction and Engineering

Cold room systems also play a role in construction and industrial applications, such as concrete cooling solutions. These systems help reduce heat from machinery or dry structural pillars faster—critical for large-scale infrastructure projects or specialized engineering needs.

Types of Cold Room Systems

There are more than 15 types of cold room systems in the market, each tailored for specific applications and industries. Common types include:

• Walk-in chillers and freezers

• Remote cold room refrigeration systems

• Standard top mount systems

• Centralized cold room systems

• Prefabricated cold rooms

• Medical and pharmaceutical cold rooms

• Flake and block ice plants

• Industrial-grade cold rooms for factories

Growing Demand Worldwide

According to U.S. research, the need for cold storage facilities is rising. Although only 3% of grocery shopping is currently done online, this number is expected to reach 20% by 2025. The U.S. already has over 2,000 cold storage facilities, and sales in the cold room system sector have seen steady growth since 2019.
