Compressor racks ↗
A compressor rack can serve multiple chambers or cycles where capacity, schedules and operating conditions allow.
ICESQUARE / APPLICATIONS
Fruit precooling and ripening systems
We design and manufacture the evaporator, controls and refrigeration unit for precooling and ripening avocados, mangoes, bananas and other fruit.

How it works and what we assess
Precooling removes field heat after harvest. With forced air, airflow is guided through vented boxes to cool the batch more evenly. Ripening is a separate stage: the chamber maintains the temperature, humidity and air circulation required by the fruit protocol.
How the system works
Receive and precool
Define the arriving temperature, batch size and time available to remove field heat.
Keep conditions uniform
We select the evaporator and air distribution around the boxes, stacking pattern and chamber use.
Control ripening
We integrate the controls and refrigeration unit. Ventilation and gas management, where the protocol calls for them, are coordinated with the process.
Why these systems are used
Semi-industrial refrigeration ↗
A semi-industrial system is an option for combining the evaporator, refrigeration unit and controls at the scale of the operation.
Our recommendation
Before selecting equipment, decide whether the fruit needs postharvest cooling, storage or ripening. Start with the cultivar, maturity and product protocol for each stage.
Before selection
- Review box ventilation, stacking and airflow paths.
- Avoid using the same temperature or cycle for every fruit.
- Keep the refrigerant circuit separate from chamber ventilation and atmosphere controls.
