Pretecval MICRO-TUNEL Cuts In-Container Temperature Spread to Under 1 °C in Postharvest Pre-Cooling
Pretecval has introduced the MICRO-TUNEL, a forced-air pre-cooling tunnel that holds temperature variation inside a shipping container to less than 1 °C, compared with up to 8 °C in conventional systems. The company states the unit can reduce electrical consumption by 40–60 % and cools a crate of Lane-Late oranges from 20 °C to 6 °C in 90 minutes.
