Avocado Cold Storage in Polokwane
Tight temperature banding with dual-discharge evaporators, gentle airflow to avoid moisture loss, and dedicated ripening rooms with ethylene control. Purpose-built for avocado producers around Polokwane.
The problem
Why avocado is demanding
Avocados bruise easily and are highly sensitive to chilling injury — too cold and you get grey pulp, too warm and ripening runs away in transit.
Our approach
How we build for it
Tight temperature banding with dual-discharge evaporators, gentle airflow to avoid moisture loss, and dedicated ripening rooms with ethylene control.
Storage envelope
Avocado specifications

What temperature should avocado be stored at?
4 °C to 7 °C (cultivar dependent) at 90–95% RH, giving roughly 3–5 weeks. We set and verify these bands during commissioning.
When is the avocado season around Polokwane?
February to October. We plan installations and major maintenance outside that window wherever possible.
Can you expand our existing Polokwane facility?
Yes — we audit the current envelope and plant capacity first, then add chambers or pre-cooling without redesigning the whole site.
