Precoolers help produce and fresh cuts stay fresh longer
Forced-air precoolers are essential to grower-packers around the world, in order to preserve freshness and shelf-life for fruits, vegetables, and flowers. “The simple fact is that, the faster you remove the field heat, and get the perishable to ideal storage temperature,” explained Jim Still, president of Global Cooling Inc., “the more saleable weight you retain, and the longer shelf life you have.”



“We are seeing increased interest from a number of fresh cut processors and packers, for ‘re-cooling’” claimed Still. “When they select or pull their raw product from cold storage, be it fruit, vegetables, or dip” he explained, “nearly everything starts at the ideal long-term storage temperature. But then - before, during, and after cutting and / or packaging - the product temperature can creep up into the mid-40-degree-farenheit range, sometimes even a little hotter. This is not a good thing for freshness and shelf-life, not to mention the “sell by” dates.”

“Our precoolers can re-cool palletized fresh cuts in one or two hours,” he claimed, “when set up in an existing cold room. Most often, additional refrigeration is not needed.” This is because, according to Still, the heat load coming off of fresh cuts “is much much less than with field temperature produce, often only 10-degrees-farenheit as opposed to 50- or 60-degrees. “ Still said that the speed of recooling with his equipment, “greatly simplifies the job of the operations manager, to have a predictable and reliable recooling time, instead of constantly checking on pallets every hour or two in cold storage to see how they are doing.”

Global’s precoolers are being used for other purposes, Still said, including drying onions, recooling ripened avocados, drying just-washed RPCs, recooling grapes and blueberries after fumigation, cooling cherries in MAP for export, and more. “Being located in Philadelphia, home of the cheese steak sandwich, “it is only a matter of time before we have a precooler used to temper beef before slicing,” he smiled.

After purchasing three of Global’s Jet-Ready Precoolers, and putting them to work in their 34-degree rooms in Los Angeles, Houston, and Newark, the thawing process is now accomplished in 12 hours. “Talk about night and day,” beamed Still. “Can you just imagine the difference our Jets made to this customer? Instead of hundreds and hundreds of thawing pallets in the cold room, he has at most 40 on an average day. And think about what the speed thawing process does for saleable shelf life and food safety….” He concluded, his words left hanging in the air.



Global’s factory is located in the Philly Navy Yard Business Park, nearby to this week’s Democratic National Convention, just off Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “The city has closed both off ramps from I-95 to South Broad Street,” said Still, “as part of their security efforts. It’s an inconvenience, but a small price to pay to help safeguard our liberties and freedom.”
