Wholesale floral distributors, strawberry growers and packers around Plant City and Dover, citrus operations in the eastern Hillsborough belt, and post-harvest pre-cool rooms. We service DX-served cold storage — not industrial ammonia or large CO2 transcritical systems.
Wholesale floral distributors, fresh-cut growers, strawberry packing operations, citrus pack-houses, and small produce distributors. DX systems only.
34–38°F holding rooms for cut flowers, with humidity considerations specific to floral product life.
Field-to-cooler rapid-cool boxes for berry and produce harvest. High-load, short-cycle workloads.
Holding rooms for packed product awaiting pickup. Refrigerated dock spaces and trailer-loading boxes.
Pack-line cooling, holding rooms, and refrigerated trailer loading bays.
Trailer-load and reefer-transfer cooling at the dock.
For high-value seasonal product, we engineer redundancy upfront — secondary unit, monitoring, failover.
Agricultural product is alive, seasonal, and unforgiving. Cooling failures during harvest peak don't just cost product — they cost the season.
Strawberry harvest in Plant City peaks for 8–10 weeks. The cooling load during peak is 3–4× off-season. We size and stage equipment for the spike.
Floral and produce both depend on humidity control to extend product life. Pure temperature monitoring isn't enough — we deploy dual-channel sensors where it matters.
Pre-cool rooms have to drop field-warm product to holding temp in hours, not days. Capacity sizing and short-cycle protection are different from steady-state holding.
Plant City, Dover, eastern Hillsborough, parts of Polk — agricultural sites are often outside the main metro. We dispatch to the ag belt as part of the standard service map.
Walkthrough 4–6 weeks before harvest peak. Coil cleanings, refrigerant verification, control checks, redundancy review.
During harvest peak, ag clients get priority dispatch — same-day response is the operational standard for the season.
Major equipment work, retrofits, and capacity upgrades scheduled in the off-season window.
When cycle time blows out from 15 to 35 minutes — water flow, ice bank, refrigeration capacity in cost order.
What the rule actually requires of cold-side equipment, agricultural water, and post-harvest holding.
Choosing precool architecture for a Tampa Bay packing shed — throughput, capex, energy, and produce fit.
