Forced Air Coolers

TRJ’s Forced Air Cooler’s innovative design has surpassed technologies used in previous designs. Older precooling equipment, sometimes referred to as Pressure Cooling or Cooling Tunnels, used chilled water as a secondary cooling medium to chill air, which inherently limited the air temperatures to above 34 degrees.

TRJ Refrigeration uses a more efficient and direct method of air chilling to achieve shorter cooling times, further enhancing a longer shelf life of the product. Additionally, TRJ's Forced Air Coolers can function as precooling systems and room coolers for almost any fruit or vegetable. Some of the precooling systems shown below are forced air cooling units for precooling strawberries, bell peppers, and grapes, typically a high volume commodity.

All Pre-Cooling Units are Modular and
Easily Installed or Moved

Forced Air Coolers are suitable for:
Artichokes, Avocados, Green Beans, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cantaloupes, Cauliflower, Cherries, Cucumbers, Grapes, Honeydews, Kiwi, Nectarines, Okra, Onions (dry), Peaches, Bell Peppers, Plums, Summer Squash, Strawberries, Tomatoes and more.

Touchscreen Controls provide Accurate
Temperature Management and Flexibility

Real Energy savings!
The multispeed capability is a real energy saver over other single speed pre-cooling systems and can, in some cases, result in utility company rebates. Advanced temperature controls and PLC's on multiple systems are used to control the unit's functions, which are capable of interfacing with PC based plant management systems.
