Turnkey Cold Storage for Marine Fish & Pangasius Fillets (Export Grade)

Comprehensive turnkey solutions from blast freezing tunnels (-38°C) to deep freeze cold stores (-22°C to -55°C). Eliminates lipid oxidation and rancidity, preserving the pristine white flesh of export pangasius fillets and the vibrant freshness of sashimi tuna.

Fish cold storage is an ultra-low temperature industrial refrigeration facility (-20°C to -55°C) integrated with blast freezers and marine-grade SUS304 stainless panel enclosures. Designed for pangasius fillet processors, oceanic tuna fleets, and export fish packers, it halts bacterial proliferation, arrests lipid oxidation, and complies with HACCP and EU Code protocols.

Technical Engineering Overview: Fish & Marine Cold Storage Solutions

Each marine and freshwater fish species possesses distinct biochemical properties, myoglobin sensitivities, and lipid oxidation rates. Tan Long custom-engineers industrial cold storage rooms tailored to each commodity, strictly regulating temperature bands, laminar airflow speeds, and relative humidity to ensure products meet the most demanding global export testing standards.

1. Temperature Standards & Export-Grade Storage Protocols for Fish

Below is a comprehensive technical matrix detailing target storage temperatures, preservation methodologies, shelf lives, and packaging requirements:8rem 0;">

Product Form / Cut Refrigeration Method Storage Room Temperature Storage Shelf Life Core Technical Protocol
Pangasius / Basa Fillets -38°C (IQF Freezing Line) -20°C ÷ -22°C 18 - 24 Months 10-15% water glazing, preserves creamy natural white color
Whole Round Marine Fish (Mackerel, Scad) -35°C (Air Blast Freezer) -18°C ÷ -22°C 12 Months 10kg block cartons, protective top glazing
Oceanic Yellowfin / Bigeye Tuna (Sashimi Grade) -60°C (Ultra-Low Deep Freeze) -50°C ÷ -55°C 24 Months Halts myoglobin oxidation, retains vibrant ruby-red color
Processed Salmon / Herring Fillets -35°C (Solid Belt IQF) -22°C ÷ -25°C 12 - 18 Months Vacuum sealed in PA/PE pouches, inline metal detection

4. Turnkey EPC Engineering, Procurement & Construction Workflow for Fish

  1. On-Site Jobsite Survey & Seafood Thermal Load Calculation: On-site surveying and thermal load calculations based on daily catch/fillet turnover, initial flake ice holding ratios, and core product temperature entering the freeze cycle.
  2. Ante-Room Thermal Airlock Layout Architecture: Engineering 2D/3D layouts for pre-processing bays, chilled anterooms (+5°C to +10°C) preventing moisture ingress and door icing, and Drive-in racking transit corridors.
  3. Off-Site SS304 Enclosure & Compressor Skid Prefabrication: High-pressure PIR panel fabrication at Long An plant; two-stage compressor racks undergo 28 bar hydrostatic pressure testing and safety certification prior to shipment.
  4. Airtight Enclosure Erection & ASME Pressure Piping: Erecting camlock panels with moisture-barrier silicone seals, and certified TIG welding of seamless pressure piping complying with ASME B31.5 refrigeration codes.
  5. Deep Vacuum Evacuation, Refrigerant Charging & Pulldown Test: Deep vacuum pull-down below 500 microns, pure refrigerant charging, and 48-hour continuous pull-down commissioning achieving stable -22°C to -25°C chamber temperatures.
  6. HACCP & EU Code Commissioning & Handover: Comprehensive operator training for touchscreen PLC panels, handover of certified CO/CQ dossiers, and activation of Tan Long’s 24/7 direct warranty service.

5. Frequently Asked Questions on Fish Cold Storage Engineering (FAQs)

Q: What is the typical turnkey construction timeline for a fish cold storage facility?

For small to medium facilities (under 50 tons), prefabrication and installation take 15 to 20 business days. For industrial multi-room facilities (100 to 1,000+ tons), total EPC execution typically spans 30 to 45 days including pressure testing and continuous temperature pull-down commissioning. For cold logistics hubs or large facilities exceeding 200 tons, installation timelines range from 20 - 35 business days depending on site handover readiness and civil construction progress.

Q: Does Tan Long provide thermal mapping validation and licensing compliance documentation?

Yes. Tan Long provides complete technical documentation, multi-point temperature mapping validation reports using Quatest/NIST-calibrated instrumentation, supporting clients to swiftly achieve HACCP, ISO 22000, WHO/MOH GSP certification, or veterinary hygiene export clearance.

Q: In the event of a power outage or compressor fault, is stored product protected?

Thanks to high-pressure molded PIR panels (125mm to 150mm) with superior thermal resistance, storage chamber temperature rises by less than 1°C per 12 hours during total power outages, providing ample buffer time before backup generator power engages. Simultaneously, the SCADA monitoring system instantly transmits emergency alarm telemetry to facility managers and Tan Long’s 24/7 on-call technical response team for rapid intervention.
