The cold storage capacity required to store 2,000 tons of garlic is about 10,000 cubic meters. The specific cold storage capacity will vary due to factors such as cold storage design, construction and insulation materials. In addition, according to the amount of garlic stored and the storage time, the appropriate freezing scheme and storage shelves can be selected to ensure the quality and safety of garlic.
The storage time of garlic in cold storage is generally about 1-8 months, and the specific storage time depends on factors such as cold storage temperature and garlic quality.
There are a few things to keep in mind when storing garlic:
1.Site selection: The cold storage should be built in a high-terrain, dry, and well-ventilated place to keep the cold storage dry and clean.
2.Design and construction: select the appropriate cold storage construction structure according to the needs, and ensure that the quality and thickness of the cold storage insulation materials meet the requirements.
3.Temperature control: Garlic needs to be stored in a constant low temperature environment, and the general cold storage temperature should be controlled between -1 +3. If the temperature fluctuates too much, it will cause the garlic to spoil.
4.Humidity control: Garlic needs to be stored in a relatively dry environment to prevent mold growth. The humidity in the cold room should be kept between 60%-85%.
5.Garlic quality: The storage time of garlic should not be too long, and it is generally fresh, free of pests and diseases, and has a compact texture. If the garlic appears to soften, sprout or rot, it should be treated promptly.
6.Regular inspection: Regularly check the storage of garlic and deal with abnormal phenomena in time to ensure the quality and safety of garlic.
In short, the storage of garlic in cold storage needs to pay attention to factors such as temperature, humidity, garlic quality and storage time to ensure the quality and safety of garlic.
