Metalex – Egg Cold Rooms (5 TR Onwards)
High‑Performance Refrigeration Solutions for Large‑Scale Egg Storage
Metalex designs and manufactures industrial‑grade egg cold rooms engineered to maintain product quality, extend shelf life, and ensure safe storage under tropical Indian conditions. Our systems from 5 TR onwards are purpose‑built for farms, hatcheries, distributors, and food‑processing units requiring reliable temperature control at 5C with stable humidity and uniform airflow.

Why Egg Cold Rooms Matter
Eggs are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. In warm climates, improper storage accelerates spoilage, reduces hatchability, and increases microbial risk. A professionally engineered cold room:
- Maintains consistent 5C storage temperature
- Reduces microbial growth and spoilage
- Preserves internal quality (albumen strength, yolk firmness)
- Extends shelf life by 2–3×
- Ensures batch‑wise loading without thermal shock
Metalex systems are engineered to deliver these outcomes with precision and reliability.

Pomegranates are among the most delicate and high‑value fruits grown in India, and maintaining their freshness from harvest to market requires precise temperature and humidity control. Our Pomegranate Cold Storage Systems are engineered to preserve fruit quality, extend shelf life, and minimize post‑harvest losses for farmers, traders, exporters, and food processing units. Designed with advanced refrigeration technology and robust insulation, these units ensure consistent cooling performance even in demanding climatic conditions.
Pomegranates are highly sensitive to moisture loss and chilling injury, making it essential to store them under controlled conditions. Our cold storage units maintain an ideal temperature range of 5°C to 7°C with 90–95% relative humidity, which helps retain the fruit’s natural color, juiciness, and aril quality. The system prevents dehydration, fungal growth, and internal breakdown, ensuring that the fruit remains market‑ready for up to 2–3 months.
Each cold storage chamber is built using high‑density PUF‑insulated panels that provide superior thermal efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The refrigeration units are equipped with high‑performance compressors, eco‑friendly refrigerants, and intelligent control systems that maintain uniform cooling throughout the chamber. Air circulation fans ensure proper ventilation, preventing CO₂ buildup and maintaining the freshness of the stored produce.
Our Pomegranate Cold Storage solutions are available in multiple capacities, ranging from small farm‑level units to large commercial warehouses. Whether you need a 10 MT, 50 MT, 100 MT, or 500 MT facility, we offer fully customizable designs to match your operational requirements. The system can also be integrated with pre‑cooling units, grading lines, and pack‑house infrastructure for end‑to‑end post‑harvest management.
For exporters and large distributors, we offer optional Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology, which maintains optimal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to further extend storage life and reduce chilling injury. This feature is especially beneficial for long‑distance shipments and international markets where fruit quality standards are stringent.
Our cold storage units are designed for ease of operation, with digital temperature controllers, automated defrosting, and user‑friendly interfaces. The system requires minimal maintenance and is supported by our nationwide service network for installation, repair, and annual maintenance contracts.
By investing in a dedicated Pomegranate Cold Storage facility, businesses can significantly reduce wastage, stabilize supply, and achieve better price realization throughout the year. It is an essential asset for farmers’ cooperatives, mandis, exporters, wholesalers, and food processing companies looking to maintain consistent quality and freshness.

Apples are one of the most popular fruits worldwide, valued for their crisp texture, refreshing taste, and nutritional benefits. However, like all fresh produce, apples continue to “breathe” even after harvest. This process, known as respiration, involves taking in oxygen (O₂) and releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂). While natural, respiration accelerates ripening and eventually leads to softening, loss of flavor, and spoilage.
To overcome this challenge and extend the shelf life of apples, the food industry uses a proven technique called Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage. In CA storage, the air composition inside cold rooms is carefully adjusted. Oxygen levels are reduced to about 1–3% (compared to 21% in normal air), while carbon dioxide levels are slightly increased to around 1%. At the same time, the temperature is maintained close to 0 °C and humidity is kept high (85–95%). Together, these conditions slow down respiration and delay the natural aging process of apples.
The result is remarkable: apples stored under CA conditions can remain fresh and market‑ready for up to 6 months (180 days), which is two to four times longer than conventional cold storage. This means that apples harvested in one season can be enjoyed by consumers well into the next, without losing their crispness, juiciness, or nutritional value.
Benefits of CA Storage for Apples-
Extended Shelf Life Apples last much longer, reducing waste and ensuring consistent supply throughout the year.
-
Superior Quality The fruit retains its firmness, flavor, and aroma, offering consumers the same fresh experience as newly harvested apples.
-
Natural Preservation Unlike chemical treatments, CA storage relies only on adjusting oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. This makes it a safe and natural method of preservation.
-
Economic Advantage Longer storage reduces losses for farmers, traders, and retailers, while ensuring consumers have access to fresh apples even months after harvest.
-
Variety Flexibility Different apple varieties such as Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Fuji, and Gala respond well to CA storage, though exact gas levels may vary slightly depending on the type.
For buyers and distributors on platforms like IndiaMART, CA storage offers a reliable way to source apples that remain fresh for extended periods. Whether you are a wholesaler, retailer, or exporter, CA‑stored apples guarantee consistent quality and longer availability. Consumers benefit from apples that taste fresh and crisp, while businesses benefit from reduced spoilage and better inventory management.
ConclusionControlled Atmosphere storage is a modern, eco‑friendly solution to the age‑old problem of keeping apples fresh. By lowering oxygen and slightly increasing carbon dioxide in cold storage, respiration is slowed, ripening is delayed, and apples stay delicious for months. With CA technology, apples can be stored two to four times longer than usual, ensuring year‑round supply without compromising on taste or safety.
