Multi‑zone room design so each crop sits in its comfort band.
Stop over‑cooling one crop to save another—use RM Agrotech zoning. #ColdRooms
Introduction: Right Crop, Right Zone:
A single temperature never fits all. Zoning prevents chilling injury in warm‑tolerant crops while giving leafy greens the deep cold they need.
RM Agrotech Zoning Options:
- Modular partitions/curtains and independent evaporators per zone.
- Thermostats and logging per zone with alarms for drift.
- Airlocks/strip curtains to reduce mixing.
Layout, Labelling, and Training:
- Map zones at the door with crop lists and setpoints.
- Place fast‑moving items near doors; keep sensitive items deeper.
- Color‑code racks and crates; audit weekly.
Bottom line
With zoning, energy use drops and quality improves. RM Agrotech designs and commissions controls that keep zones stable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many zones are typical?:
Three: very cool, cool, and mild—tuned to your crop mix.
Do I need hard partitions?:
Curtains and airlocks can work, but independent coils and thermostats improve control.
Will zones leak into each other?:
Some mixing is inevitable; door discipline and curtains reduce it.
What sensors do I need?:
At least one temperature and RH sensor per zone with regular calibration.
Can I retrofit zoning?:
Often yes—add partitions, an extra evaporator, and control loops after airflow assessment.
How to train staff?:
Color‑coded racks/crates, a visible zone chart, and weekly audits.
Ethylene conflicts?:
Separate emitters and sensitive crops; add scrubbers if needed.
Does zoning save energy?:
Yes, by avoiding over‑cooling warm‑tolerant crops.
