Case study I Fruvemex
The necessary space was
left between the ceiling,
the air outlet and the
goods to ensure proper
circulation and optimum
distribution of cold
air throughout the
warehouse
Cooling equipment
In the three cold storage, there are cooling devices placed directly on the structure
without having to perforate the cladding
(unlike traditionally constructed warehouses). The position of the evaporators coincides with the main aisle.
Connecting the cold storage
The three Fruvemex cold storage installations are interconnected. In warehouses 1
and 2, an underpass was opened that cuts
across the racking and connects to a traditionally constructed building where the
loading and unloading docks are located.
In the connected cold storage 2 and 3 a portion of the cladding was removed from each
of the aisles to facilitate the movement of
the forklifts.
Double-depth
The cold storage installations consist of
three aisles with 36’ high double-depth
racking on both sides. In this system, two
pallets are deposited – one behind another
– on the same side of the aisle, which allows
for increased storage capacity. It is a highly
recommended solution, mainly when there
are several pallets of the same SKU.
