Storing fruit and vegetables

To increase sales and expand brand awareness, companies operating in the food industry frequently attend events to sell produce. These businesses often use Triton Temperature-Controlled Containers onsite to secure cargo from theft, help reduce food waste and maximize profit by extending produce shelf-life. Units can be placed almost anywhere and only require a level ground surface and grid connection to maintain precise temperatures regardless of external conditions.

Fluctuations in seasonal demand impact many businesses, including stores, restaurants and manufacturers, with busy shopping periods often followed by a reduction in sales. Instabilities of this nature can make it challenging for companies to accurately estimate the quantity of stock they need. Consequently, some businesses must choose between running out of specific inventory and paying a premium to build additional warehouse space, which may not be filled to full capacity all year round. Domestic Refrigerated Containers allow businesses to avoid this predicament and scale storage cost-effectively as needed.

Domestic Triton Temperature-Controlled Containers allow retailers and manufacturers to expand the variety of stock they offer consumers and potentially trial new produce. Triton units also empower small independent shops to market fresh and frozen goods without making a significant upfront investment in traditional cold storage warehouse facilities.

Agricultural produce is susceptible to decay, particularly during the hot summer months. To keep products in optimal condition and avoid deterioration, Triton Refrigerated Containers can be placed in close proximity to the harvest location so freshly picked fruit and vegetables can be loaded into cold storage as quickly as possible.

Portable refrigeration permits crops to be harvested and stored until market demand increases, allowing farmers to avoid selling crops during periods of oversupply and generate more revenue.

• Before use, check the unit is clean, dry, odor free and set correctly at the desired stable temperature. Always refer to the recommended temperature guidelines for the product/s you wish to store.
• Separate any fruit and vegetables that produce ethylene gas to help avoid premature spoilage.
• Ensure you remove any damaged or rotten produce as it can compromise the quality of other stored goods.
• To avoid mold or bacteria growth, ensure products are clean and dry before loading.
• Check there is sufficient space around produce to allow air to flow freely around it, as good circulation helps prevent premature spoilage.
• Do not stow items on the roof, against the front of the container or underneath machinery.
• Rotate produce based on shelf life, using the older items first.
• Check and clean the unit interior frequently.
