How to Build a Professional Steel Structure Cold Storage for Berry Processing?

01/24/2026

Against the backdrop of rapid development in global berry trade and standardized cold chain logistics, efficient and energy-saving processing cold storage is becoming core infrastructure for industry upgrades. Henan Gefan Building Materials Co., Ltd., as a professional prefabricated steel structure building manufacturer deeply engaged in overseas markets, leverages its strong technical expertise and exceptional project management capabilities accumulated in large-scale warehousing, industrial plants, and other fields. We now innovatively introduce the Integrated Steel Structure Cold Storage Total Solution, providing berry processing enterprises with comprehensive services from design and construction to operational support.


Core Advantages of the Steel Structure System: Building the Foundation for Safe, Efficient, and Energy-Efficient Modern Cold Storage
In the specific application scenario of berry processing cold storage, the steel structure system demonstrates significant advantages unmatched by traditional structures:
1,Large-Span Space and Flexible Layout: Utilizing portal frames or space truss structures to achieve column-free interior spaces, perfectly meeting the flexible planning needs of berry processing lineslogistics channels, and high-bay storage areas, significantly improving space utilization and operational efficiency.
2,Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity and Structural Safety: Through professional load calculation and structural analysis, ensuring the main structure can stably support refrigeration equipmentgoods storage loads, and regional snow/wind loads, providing a solid guarantee for the internal -25°C deep-freeze environment and automated logistics systems.
3,Rapid Construction and Green Energy Efficiency: Prefabricated components enable modular installation, drastically shortening construction timelines. High structural precision allows for tight integration with high-performance cold storage insulation panels (e.g., polyurethane sandwich panels), effectively preventing thermal bridges, enhancing overall air-tightness and thermal insulation performance, and reducing long-term operational energy consumption.

Scientific Temperature Zoning and Professional Enclosure System Design
We conduct scientific zoning and precise temperature control design based on berry processing standards and food safety regulations:
1,Pre-processing Area: Features a 0°C Berry Pre-cooling Room for rapid field heat removal.
2,Clean Processing Area: Includes a 5-10°C Washing and Sorting Area and a 10-15°C Pitting, Cutting, and Quick-Freezing Processing Area, balancing operator comfort with product quality and safety.
3,Packaging and Core Storage Area: After final packaging in the 5°C Packaging Room, products are swiftly transferred to the core -25°C Frozen Storage Warehouse for long-term preservation.
4,Logistics Functional Area: Plans for 0-5°C Logistics Channels to ensure logistics efficiency and temperature stability, effectively connecting all processing and storage stages.

The entire system is supported by efficient refrigeration units, precise temperature control systems, and high-quality cold storage panel enclosure systems. We select high flame-retardant B1-grade polyurethane cold storage panels, whose excellent insulation properties, combined tightly with the steel structure main frame, collectively build a continuous, stable, and reliable low-temperature barrier.

Achieving Industry Value with Professional Expertise

Leveraging its extensive overseas project experience in the steel structure engineering field, Henan Gefan Building Materials Co., Ltd. integrates digital design and lean construction philosophies throughout the entire cold storage project lifecycle. We are committed to providing clients not merely with a building shell, but with a modern berry processing infrastructure that integrates structural safetyprecise temperature control, and energy-efficient operation.
Choosing Henan Gefan means choosing to build a quality foundation with technology and craftsmanship. Let us use precision steel structures to safeguard every ounce of freshness, jointly advancing the berry processing industry toward an intelligent, standardized, and sustainably developed future.
