Cold Storage Chicken
Chicken, which can mold and spoil if not stored under the right conditions, is one of the most important products in the food industry. Chickens play a significant role in the cold chain from raising to slaughter.
There are two types of cold storage for chickens. These rooms store chickens at positive and negative temperatures. The purpose of these rooms is to prevent mold and spoilage. Chicken cold storage allow for long-term storage of chickens, preserving their nutritional value, vitamins, and flavor.
How Chicken Cold Storage Should Be?
When purchasing a chicken cold storage facility, it’s absolutely crucial to consider these factors. Being an expert and experienced engineer isn’t enough. Understanding the product, namely chicken, and experiencing its production conditions are crucial. At ESADPANEL, we’re deeply involved in meat and chicken products. We’ve listened to our producers, the most important elements in the supply chain. We consult with slaughterhouses, processing plants, and food distributors, and we share this experience with the world.
The chicken cold storage system works as follows: Chickens leaving the slaughterhouse are exposed to high temperatures, and if these products aren’t cooled quickly, bacterial growth begins. This is a process that causes chicken meat to spoil. Two factors come into play: either the product’s temperature is rapidly reduced, slowing microbiological activity and extending its storage life, or freezing the product to completely halt microbiological activity.
Both methods allow for the establishment of cold storage for chicken. Blast-freezing systems can extend the storage life of chicken by 6–12 months, while standard refrigeration systems can extend the storage life of chicken by 5–7 days. Product loss rates for both systems range from 0.5% to 2%. Because the investment costs of shock-freezing systems are high, they are generally preferred by large-scale production or export facilities. For distributors and restaurant suppliers, refrigerated warehouses, which offer low investment costs and short-term storage, are more practical. A minimum air gap of 5–10 cm should be left between chicken crates.

Maintaining the moisture content of chicken meat in chicken cold storage is crucial. During long-term storage, preserving the chicken’s surface from drying out and changing color, and preserving the meat’s market value, flavor, and texture, depends on maintaining this moisture balance. The most crucial element of a chicken cold storage system is initiating the cooling process at the right time and temperature. Chicken producers classify their products based on numerous parameters, including weight, slaughter date, packaging type, and hygiene conditions. Barcode systems used on fresh and frozen chicken allow consumers to access product origin, production facility, slaughter date, and supplier information. Therefore, it is recommended to use only products that have been processed under hygienic conditions and whose cooling chain is intact for long-term storage.
Storing chicken in the correct crates or packages and preventing crushing due to contact is also crucial. When necessary, crates that provide air circulation ensure even cooling throughout the product. It is crucial to maintain chicken cold storage temperatures between 0°C and +2°C for fresh products and between –18°C and –23°C for frozen products. If you freeze chicken too long, its cell structure will be disrupted and post-thawing water loss will increase. Refreezing thawed chicken will damage it and therefore pose a risk to human health. If you don’t cool it sufficiently, microbiological activity will accelerate, significantly shortening the product’s shelf life. Remember, no one wants to see spoiled or dry chicken. Therefore, it’s crucial to regularly monitor chicken cold rooms and record and report temperature and humidity values.

500m2 CHICKEN COLD STORAGE
A cold storage facility is a profitable investment. Especially if you’re skilled in the field. If you have a large space and want to design a 500m² cold room facility to start, here’s a great idea. The technical drawings and 3D design below can help you achieve your dream.
Or, we can design a custom cold storage solution specifically for your existing space.
500 M2 CHICKEN COLD STORAGE
2D DRAWING
This is the Chicken Cold storage facility with the technical dimensions provided. The chicken storage above contains four different rooms. Each Chicken Cold storage has a capacity of 175 metric tons. The average daily electricity consumption is 130,4 kW. Each of these rooms is designed as 98 m² and 588 m³. The design includes a 4.5 m wide corridor for easy movement of loading and unloading equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks. The facility also includes an office, kitchen, and WC for staff. Of course, there could even be a truck docking area and parking lot at the front. This is within our power to achieve by utilizing the available square meters.

CHICKEN COLD STORAGE PROCESSING PLANT
Chicken processing facilities are quite large and comprehensive. After slaughter, the chickens are crated and processed before storage. The risk of Salmonella and Campylobacter in chicken meat is high, so the products are washed with water in pre-cooling tanks using conveyor systems. This process removes bacteria, blood residue, feathers, and other microorganisms that may be present on their surfaces. It also increases cooling efficiency by removing excess heat from the meat’s surface. The meat is then processed through air-knife drying systems to remove excess surface water and preserve its structure. Too low a humidity level can lead to surface drying, while too high a humidity level increases the risk of frost and mold. Therefore, humidity control is crucial. This process improves the product’s appearance and prevents ice crystal formation during freezing. The chickens are then sorted by weight and cut type. Finally, the products are packaged for markets and transferred to cold storage before being shipped to the end consumer.
All contents above are presented for example purposes only.
