Citrus Packhouse Design in Groblersdal
We size forced-air pre-cooling to peak-week intake tonnage, separate degreening and holding chambers, and install calibrated multi-probe logging that satisfies cold treatment audits. Purpose-built for citrus producers around Groblersdal.
The problem
Why citrus is demanding
Export citrus needs cold sterilisation protocols held precisely — a half-degree drift can fail a shipment, and peak intake arrives faster than most packhouses can pre-cool.
Our approach
How we build for it
We size forced-air pre-cooling to peak-week intake tonnage, separate degreening and holding chambers, and install calibrated multi-probe logging that satisfies cold treatment audits.

What temperature should citrus be stored at?
−0.6 °C to 8 °C depending on cultivar and market at 90–95% RH, giving roughly 4–12 weeks in storage. We set and verify these bands during commissioning.
When is the citrus season around Groblersdal?

Can you expand our existing Groblersdal facility?
Yes — we audit the current envelope and plant capacity first, then add chambers or pre-cooling without redesigning the whole site.
