R.M. Agrotech serves as a critical link in Nepal's cold chain value system. The company specializes in advanced refrigeration technology, precision farming tools, and greenhouse solutions. Their operations span site assessment, system design, installation, operator training, and long-term maintenance.

IceMake Refrigeration Ltd, based in India, is an industry-leading manufacturer providing:

Solar-assisted cold rooms

Rapid chilling and deep-freezing solutions (blast chillers/freezers)

Modular and prefabricated cold storage

Refrigerated transport units

Dairy and pharmaceutical-grade cooling systems

Together, this partnership provides an integrated cold chain ecosystem tailored to Nepal’s diverse geographical and market needs.

Solar Cold Rooms: Off-Grid Cooling for Rural Communities

To address energy challenges in rural Nepal, IceMake’s solar-powered cold rooms offer a sustainable and decentralized solution:

Hybrid Operation: Systems run on solar and grid power, with minimal dependency on external electricity

Storage Capacity: Typically ranges from 2–5 metric tons

Temperature Range: Maintains internal temperature between 2°C and 10°C

Battery Backup: Offers continuous operation for over 30 hours during power outages

These systems are particularly advantageous for remote agricultural producers, allowing them to reduce post-harvest losses and increase income through delayed selling.

Blast Chillers and Freezers: Post-Harvest and Processing Efficiency

IceMake’s high-performance blast chilling and freezing units support Nepal’s expanding food manufacturing and export industries:

Chilling and Freezing Capabilities: Rapid chilling (2–8°C) and deep freezing (as low as –35°C)

Industrial Applications:

Meat, poultry, and seafood processing

Ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturing

Dairy product preservation

Commercial kitchens and bakeries

R.M. Agrotech ensures end-to-end support—equipment installation, energy optimization, calibration, and personnel training.

Modular Cold Rooms with PUF Panel Integration

Cold rooms utilizing PUF (Polyurethane Foam) insulated panels offer temperature precision, scalability, and low thermal conductivity:

Custom Ranges: From +15°C (for floriculture) to –25°C (for frozen meat or vaccines)

Advantages:

Configurable sizing and modular layout

Fast assembly and installation timelines

Long-term energy efficiency

This solution is highly applicable to agri-cooperatives, logistics hubs, food retailers, and healthcare centers across Nepal.

Transport Refrigeration: Strengthening the Cold Chain in Transit

IceMake’s refrigerated vans and containers, distributed via R.M. Agrotech, ensure continuity of cold chain conditions across Nepal’s challenging terrains:

Design Features:

GRP-insulated panels

Onboard refrigeration systems

Multi-zone temperature compartments (optional)

Applications:

Distribution of perishable produce

Meat, poultry, and dairy logistics

Vaccine and pharmaceutical delivery

Monitoring Tools:

GPS tracking

Temperature loggers and IoT-enabled data feeds

These units enhance traceability and compliance with food and drug safety standards.
