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.
For agricultural operations, ColdSentry™ pays for itself the first time it catches a drift during harvest peak. ArcticOS™ provides equipment records and a service portal.
Dual-channel sensors capturing both temperature and humidity. Excursion alarms via phone and SMS. Time-stamped logs for shipper or buyer cold-chain documentation.
Asset records for each cooler, refrigerant charges documented, service history, and open work-order visibility. Useful when buyers ask for cold-chain provenance.
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.
