Our Services
We provide comprehensive project consultation, engineering services, and seamless installation solutions.
Ripening Room
The planning and installation of ripening rooms are integral components of our primary services.
Our extensive expertise in fruit ripening and associated equipment is further strengthened through partnerships with globally renowned companies such as BG Doors International (specializing in gas-tight doors) and VDH Products (experts in ripening controls). For the past six years, we have proudly served as their preferred supplier in Africa.
Our ripening chambers boast full automation, energy efficiency, and user-friendly interfaces. We ensure optimal airflow and precise temperature regulation, providing a guarantee for superior fruit ripening.
Beyond these features, our system design and control mechanisms optimize humidity, carbon dioxide, and ethylene levels throughout the ripening process. This meticulous attention ensures that your premium-quality fruit reaches the desired color and ripeness for consumption.
Our range of room designs spans from compact 6-pallet single-level chambers to expansive 94-pallet multi-tier facilities. Notably, we have achieved the installation of the world's largest ripening rooms, boasting an impressive 4-level height and a capacity of 94 pallets.
De-greening Rooms
Southern Africa is widely recognized for cultivating diverse varieties of citrus fruits. While many citrus fruits may reach maturity for consumption before achieving full coloration, consumers often associate specific colors with ripe fruit. Consequently, inadequately colored fruits undergo a de-greening process to ensure the proper hue of the fruit's skin.
FF Cooling & Engineering's De-greening rooms are specifically designed to regulate temperature, carbon dioxide levels, ethylene concentration, and humidity, ensuring effective de-greening.
The de-greening procedures for different citrus fruits play a crucial role in the thriving multi-billion Rand citrus export industry.
FF Cooling & Engineering actively engages in the planning and installation of de-greening rooms, catering to a broad spectrum of sizes, ranging from modest 200-bin rooms to more expansive 3000-bin facilities.
The room designs and control systems span from basic to cutting-edge, offering fully automated and controlled solutions tailored to meet the unique requirements of each client.
Cold Storage Facilities
Our proficient installation teams, supported by the specialized knowledge of our in-house engineering divisions, excel in crafting customized cold storage facilities across diverse sectors.
In today's landscape, where produce is transported not only within regions but also nationally, we understand that preserving optimal shelf life is paramount for the success of your business.
Precoolers and Forced-air Coolers
The process of precooling and forced-air cooling involves swiftly extracting field heat from recently harvested fruits or vegetables, a crucial step before shipping or storage. Swift precooling plays a vital role in inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms responsible for decay while also minimizing enzymatic and respiratory activity. Proper precooling is instrumental in mitigating spoilage, delaying the loss of preharvest freshness, and preserving overall quality.
FF Cooling & Engineering offers diverse design solutions tailored to various commodities, ranging from table grapes and stone fruit to flowers and blueberries.
Processing Facilities
Designing processing facilities involves a comprehensive consideration of every aspect related to the handling of goods, aiming for logistical perfection.
Freezer Rooms
Efforts are devoted to meticulously designing freezer rooms and blast freezers to ensure minimal energy loss.
Door Systems
Every door system design undergoes thorough scrutiny to ensure that it perfectly aligns with and fulfills the needs of the customers.
Packhouse Cooling
Ensuring precise temperature and optimal oxygen levels within the packing facility to maximize workforce productivity.
Racking Systems
Tailored commercial racking systems for pallets and bins, crafted to meet the specific requirements of our clients.
