Pallet racking systems acclimated to cold or freezing environmental conditions are \u00a0presently one of the most demanded warehouse automation solutions<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>,<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0substantially by food and biochemical companies.<\/p>\n

Storehouse systems for cold stores have specific characteristics that separate them from those of other systems. Depending on the requirements of each design, one type of metal racking or another may be more applicable, or indeed different racking combinations may be used to give the optimum solutions for the client.<\/p>\n

The major feature of cold and freezing\u00a0storehouse, in addition to the temperature itself, is the demand for greater contraction of the pallet racking system for insuring\u00a0higher energy effectiveness of the cooling and therefore save costs on each cubic metre of cold \u00a0storehouse.<\/p>\n

Pallet Racking Systems<\/h2>\n

Of vital significance,\u00a0thus in these cases is the quality of the pallet racking system for correct resistance to extreme environmental conditions, and the applicable design of the storehouse\u00a0solutions by an expert specialized\u00a0team to insure optimum and \u00a0invariant cooling of all storehouse unit loads.<\/p>\n

In the case of AR Racking, as an expert in storehouse solutions\u00a0for cold stores and \u00a0freezing\u00a0chambers, it develops and designs at its technology centre the structures of these pallet racking systems to acclimatize them optimally to these environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, AR Racking\u2019s galvanised product is more erosion resistant than other types of metal structures which makes it the ideal element for cold storehouse.<\/p>\n

Another Element in the Cold Chain<\/h3>\n

It should be remembered\u00a0that the pallet racking system, the storehouse and its cold store are just another element in the complex process of the cold chain. The cold chain incorporates the set of processes and\u00a0elements that enable the conservation of a product with certain temperature requirements from when it’s produced or collected, through its transport and storehouse, until it reaches the end user at the point of trade.<\/p>\n

The entire chain needs to work \u00a0impeccably so that the product, generally perishable, arrives in perfect condition at its final destination. The two\u00a0major\u00a0elements that most impact the chain are suitable temperature and the exposure time of the item to it.<\/p>\n

As soon as storehouse comes into play in this chain, special attention will need to be paid to the transition between the transport phase and the storehouse phase, i.e., in the \u00a0loading and unloading time of the goods. In this case, \u00a0inordinate exposure time of the product at unsuitable temperature conditions may affect in a thermal difference that breaks the stability of the cold chain.<\/p>\n

Main Storage Needs in Cold Stores<\/h3>\n

Concentrating specifically on storehouse systems, the following points must be considered when choosing the most suitable type of pallet racking system for a cold \u00a0storehouse design:<\/p>\n
